San Francisco RUSH Extreme Racing (N64) - Key FAQ
=================================================
This FAQ will detail where all the hidden keys are located and how to obtain
them. Finding half of the keys on a certain track will enable the special
TAXI (Ooooh!). Finding all of the keys on a certain track will enable the
special HOT-ROD (Yeah!).
Track #1 - Golden Gate Bridge - 6 Keys
--------------------------------------
Key #1 - Directly behind you at the start of the race. Turn around at the
start and drive back to the dead end.
Key #2 - Suspended in air on your left before you reach the Golden Gate
bridge. Drive well past the key, turn around and accelerate to hit
the bump on the right side of the road against the railing and
launch you into the air.
Key #3 - Suspended high in the air on your left just past the Golden Gate
bridge. Do not use the jump ramp next to the toll booths but rather
the grass hill behind it. Accelerate to a high rate of speed as you
near the end of the bridge.
Key #4 - Just past the Presidio tunnel there is a break-away section in the
fence to your left with a dirt path behind it. Crash through the
fence and proceed up the grass hill to your left. The key is at the
top of the hill.
Key #5 - Just past the finish line on the far left is a tunnel into the hill.
Proceed through the tunnel and the key will be on your left just as
you exit it.
Key #6 - Also just past the finish line on the left is a narrow embankment.
Get on the grass and drive on the embankment alongside the wall
until you run into the key.
Track #2 - Embarcadero - 7 Keys
-------------------------------
Key #1 - Drive through the cones and proceed to the point where the overpass
is broken. Go slowly and fall off at an angle to the level below.
Follow this all the way back until the dead-end where the key is
located.
Key #2 - Drive through the cones and jump across to the other side of the
broken overpass. The overpass will take you to a huge half-pipe
with loops at both ends. At the top of the far loop a key is
suspended in the air.
Key #3 - In the far side wall of the half-pipe directly between the two loops
is a small room. Drive up the side of the half-pipe and into the
room where you will find the key.
Key #4 - Drive under the semi-trailer and jump on top of the roofs. Proceed
to the jump ramp and fall off the far left side at a very slow speed.
The key is at the bottom in the alley.
Key #5 - Just past the semi-trailer turn there is a small underground entrance
in the building on the left. The key is at the bottom of the tunnel.
Key #6 - Just past the semi-trailer turn there is a fountain in the plaza in
front of the building on the left. Use the fountain as a jump ramp
and jump into the center of the building. There is a tunnel through
the building hidden by the glass panels. The tunnel is lined with
"DANGER!" signs and the key sits in the middle of the tunnel.
Key #7 - Go to the second fountain on the opposite side of the building and
drive into it. There is a key at the bottom.
Track #3 - Market - 8 Keys
--------------------------
Key #1 - At the first left hand turn there is a staircase to your left. Drive
up the staircase to a small platform where the key is located.
Key #2 - There is a key suspended in air underneath one of the CHECKPOINT
signs. Drive past the checkpoint and around the corner towards the
Coit tower. Turn around and proceed back up the sharp up-hill turn
at a high rate of speed to jump into the key.
Key #3 - To the left of the Coit tower are small white buildings. Drive
between the buildings and enter a dirt half-pipe. The key is
suspended in air on the right even with the first rock obstruction.
Simply drive up the side of the half-pipe to reach it.
Key #4 - In the center of the huge tunnel before the long down-hill jump a key
is suspended in air. Simply drive to the bottom of the hill, turn
around and drive at a high rate of speed to jump into it.
Key #5 - After passing through Chinatown proceed up the road through several
up hill turns. At the last right hand turn there is a gap in the
wooden fence behind the building. Go through the gap to find a
tunnel entrance to a room that is entirely sky textured. The key
is in a corner of the room.
Key #6 - Drive through the cones at the Chinatown turn and up to the top of
the hill. Instead of jumping to the top of Lombard street slow down
and turn right onto the side street at the last jump. A key is on
the next corner.
Key #7 - As you head downhill towards the starting straight-away there is a
small platform on your left near the tunnel exit. Simply drive close
to the building and onto the platform to reach the key.
Key #8 - Just past the finish line is a trolley on your left. The key is on
the far side of the trolley.
Track #4 - Downtown - 8 Keys
----------------------------
Key #1 - Immediately to your left just past the start is a fenced in bus stop
with a key in the middle. Go past it and jump from the grass to land
on the key.

contains a statue and a fountain. Hit the sharply sloped side of the
grassy hill to jump into the key.
Key #3 - There is an opening in the buildings to the right just before the
first checkpoint. Follow the road through the buildings and across
the road to hit a grass ramp which will launch to up to one of three
entrances into the side of the building. The highest entrance will
take you to a key directly in the middle of the building.
Key #4 - The 2nd highest entrance will take you on a connector through several
buildings. At the last building hit the brakes to land on the roof
and back up to get the key.
Key #5 - There is a red parking garage on your left as you approach the drop
off in the road. Simply follow the ramp slowly into the garage where
a key is waiting.

side of a building. Jump the ramp on the far right and aim your car
towards the right. You should fly straight towards a key on the
right side of the next jump ramp.
Key #7 - Drive past the grass jump ramp you used to obtain Keys #3 & #4. Turn
left and there will be a small alley in between 2 buildings on your
right. The key is at the end of the alley.
Key #8 - Just before the two roads re-join at the start/finish line there is
another alley between 2 buildings on the left path. The key is at
the end of the alley.
Track #5 - The Heights - 8 Keys
-------------------------------
Key #1 - Turn right at the marina and drive past all the buildings and down
onto the beach. Turn around and proceed to hit the ramp to launch
your car on top of the first building and hit the brakes. Now jump
to the nieghboring building that extends all the way out into the
ocean. There is a key at the far end of the building.
Key #2 - Follow the same procedure as Key #1 but try to double-jump onto
the first building and then onto the third. Drive across the
connector to the fourth building where a key is on the roof.
Key #3 - In the wall across from the marina there is a small gap directly in
the middle of the long stretch of arrow signs. Drive through it at
high speed to hit the jump ramp in the next row of houses, then
double-jump off the roof you land on to launch you at a key on the
roof of the building next to the row of trees.
Key #4 - Instead of jumping off the ramp used for Key #3 turn left just past
it and turn right at the next corner. There is a small gap between
the corner building and it's neighbor that contains a key.
Key #5 - At the fork in the track hit the small dirt ramp on the left side
of the road to launch you over the short building. There is a key
floating directly above it.

the corner. There is a key in the back corner.
Key #7 - Drive up the entrance to the building which doubles as a jump ramp.
It is located on the right side of the road on the last up-hill
stretch of the track. Jump through the building and land on a small
landing ramp. Instead of proceeding to the spike filled pit, turn
around and proceed back. There is a key at the dead-end.
Key #8 - There is a small parking area in between buildings on the right side
of the final down hill stretch of track. Simply drive through the
wall into the parking garage where the key is sitting.

sitting next to a tree.
Key #3 - Floating above a small island in the ocean a short distance away
from the shore. Jump from the road to fly and land on the key.
Key #4 - Drive on the shoreline behind the buildings near the islands. There
is a small recess in the back of the first building that hides a key.
Key #5 - At the back corner of the parking lot on your left just before
checkpoint #4 a key sits around the corner of the building.
Key #6 - Drive off the main road to the right just before checkpoint #4.
Follow alongside the short wall until it ends and proceed down
towards the water. There is a tunnel in the side of the hill that
leads to a cave which contains a loop with a key floating in the
middle of it along with several jumping platforms.
Key #7 - The cave has a suspended ceiling. Drive up one of the side walls at
a high rate of speed going away from the entrance to get on top of
the suspended ceiling. Climb the short wall to the middle where you
will find another key.
Key #8 - Just past checkpoint #4 is a columned building. Drive into the
building to get the key.
Track #7 - The ROCK - 8 Keys

and head towards the water directly between the support towers.
There is a ledge with a key on it on the steep drop down into the
water.
Key #2 - Just past checkpoint #2 is a tunnel into the hill on your left.
Enter and proceed until the tunnel turns to the left. At the apex
of this turn is a key.
Key #3 - Instead of jumping into the penitentiary proceed up the hill onto
the concrete to the left besides the tower. Drive slowly into the
middle of the wall behind the tower and you can pass right through it
onto a balcony with a key.
Key #4 - Jump on top of the penitentiary and proceed back towards the water
tower. Fall off to the left into a courtyard. The key is in the
corner closest to the building. Simply drive through the wall next
to it to get back on the track.
Key #5 - Instead of jumping into the middle of the penitentiary, drive around
it to the left and make your way to the water tower. At the far
corner of the nearest building another key sits in the grass.
Key #6 - After passing through the tunnel exiting the penitentiary keep going
until you reach a sandy area on your right. Turn onto it and make
a right turn and proceed back alongside the water. There is a key
a short distance away.
Key #7 - Keep driving along the water from where you found key #6 and you will
soon find another key.
Key #8 - Keep driving along the water from where you found key #7 and you will
soon find another key. This one is on the outside of the tunnel.
