How to unlock the Crazy Driver achievement in Crazy Taxi - Definitive Guide

RE: stage S-S

The videos above will show you the route but you'll need to be using the following techniques.

Crazy Dash - absolutely essential for S-S. The way I do them is to press A (whilst coming off of RT), wait about half a second and the press B+RT together (maybe fractionally press B before RT but together usually works as well).

A > 0.5 sec pause > B + RT

People don't usually mention the pause (it's slightly counter-intuitive).

(there is a weaker move you can do that doesn't use A but it simply isn't good enough for this stage)




Crazy Stop - decelerate with LT, press A to sharpen up your stop at the end. I missed out on one attempt whilst inside the finish area.



Don't bother with the Crazy Drift move (the quick turn that you'll have mastered for the bowling challenge). You can hit cars and still make the time limit and you can bounce your way around corners. You don't need a perfect run.

Xdominance, are you doing the crazy dash that I mentioned or the one where you don't press A? The one with the A (and the pause) is much faster. It's still tight but that final uphill section is very close to the end.

Deffo use the dash on that hill.

Thanks! After many tries I got just past the slope but no further using the B+RT. Much easier with that 0,5 speed trick.

Started pressing reverse for the dash and noticed immediately it's better after the taxi was doing MUCH bigger jumps. Seeing the green in the distance twice and hitting a stupid oncoming car was torture, but I finally beat this after a LOT of attempts (I unlocked the first avatar award before beating this). THANK YOU!

Also, I don't see why you shouldn't do a crazy drift at that U turn before the baseball stadium.

Crazy Dash absolutely makes this cake. After using it constantly, I got to the bottom of the big hill near the end with 1 minute left! Then I hit an oncoming bus and flew backwards (grrr), but I still hit the green zone with 27 seconds left! So definitely just spam that Crazy Dash and you should be fine, as long as you know where you're going. I was hitting tons of cars and stuff, and it didn't matter.

S-S took me 45 minutes, it’s not a bad game but I really don’t want to play ever again in my life.
Thx for helping out

I beat all the challenges but before even realizing the pause boost worked so much better. Thank you for this as it saved a broken controller.

To get this achievement, you'll need a few things to know about the game. Is not difficult, but with practice, I promise you will get it. Things to know:

Crazy Dash: Press the cn_A button to have your car in reverse. Then press the cn_B to have your car on drive. Right as you enter drive, hit the cn_RT to accelerate. This will perform a crazy dash. There's a Challange 1-1 of the crazy box that will help you understand this move better.

Crazy Drift: if you press the cn_A then cn_B right after another and hold, your car will slide. This move gives you points and also allows you to make sharp turns.

Know the map: Seleft ARCADE and learn the map a bit. Certain land marks will help you pass this challenge.

Avoid cars and obstacles. The traffic is turned high for this challenge.

Know your check points. If you've reached a check point and your timer is green, you're good to go. If its yellow, rush to the next checkpoint or restart. If it's red, you NEED to restart.

You have 400 seconds to go around the map in 1 long lap. I made a video to help. If it does not help you, let me know in the comments. Thanks for reading my guide and looking at my video!

Thanks pal, that's the perfect route for me. It still took me a while to get the dash down but as soon as that happened and I focused on memorizing your route, I got it in a couple of tries (and still had 8 seconds to go).

Thank you very much. Thumbs up!

I finally got this after probably 50 tries. I can't say enough the KEY to beating this challenge is perfecting the ART of pressing A then artfully pressing B+RT with a roll from B to RT. Getting that rhythm down on these button presses (Crazy Dash) combined with trying to avoid BIG traffic is what got me the achievement after many many tries.

I am at this level now. In the video you use the dash all the time during driving. I cant do that nomather how much i try. Its so annoying. The controls of this game is stupid.

Once you've completed all the 15 crazy box stages the final stage will unlock, S-S.

This is the toughest trophy in the game without a doubt. You start with a passenger and four minutes on the clock, but it’s in expert mode so there are no visible checkpoints and an insane amount of traffic on the road. Here's a youtube video I found showing the fastest route. Once you have this route memorized it’s all a matter of following it to the end and hitting as little traffic as possible on the way; that's where you make and lose time.

The Crazy Box Stages are 16 stages that will test your skills, you need to be good at boosting and drifting to complete all 16 of them. By pressing start while highlighting a stage will pop up a window with some good info and a short explanation of what to do. There's no need to reach the top spot in any of the stages, you just need to finish the stage within the time or score limit. 

Amacteur has found some helpful YouTube video's in this post

To beat them all you need to have patience, none of them are difficult if you know how to perform the crazy dash, the crazy drift and the crazy stop. Remember that your car doesn't have to be completely in the green pick up/drop off box, one small inch is enough to pick up or drop off costumers. 

The Crazy Bowling is probably the only stage that will cause some problems for a few. Don't go head on towards the bowling pins, always try to hit the outer row of pins while performing a crazy dash. Hopefully this way you'll hit all the pins and it's easier to get back on track again. 

Another tip:

Good skills to know:

Crazy Dash

Control Set Up A:
Let go of 
Press  (to go into reverse)
Press  (to go back into drive again) and press  a fraction later


Control Set Up B (recommended)
Let go of 
Press  (to go into reverse)
Press  (to go back into drive again) and press  a fraction later

This move can be done while driving to give you a 2-3 seconds boost, best to use this all the time while driving and after picking up/dropping off costumers. 


Crazy Stop

Go into reverse and press the brake button to come to a quick stop. It's helpful to pick up and drop of costumers quickly. 


Crazy Drift

With the brake
Press and hold the brake button
Go into reverse
Quickly go back into drive while steering left or right

Without the brake
Go into reverse
Quickly go back into drive while steering left or right
It's harder to recover after a crazy drift like this but it's easier to pull off. 

Great for quick corners without losing too much speed, a must to master if you want to complete the later crazy box stages.

Level S-1: you need to do 30 combos on the highway. The combo counter resets upon collision and after a certain amount of time has passed. The easiest way is to drive out onto the oncoming part of the road and slowly move between two lanes of oncoming traffic, pick up a car and a small cart of these combos.

Level S-2: you need to deliver the passenger to the last level of a multi-level parking lot, use Crazy Dash and conquer level after level, nothing difficult.

Level S-3: you need to pick up 7 passengers and bring them to the drop-off point. When you start the level, you will see a springboard; you should not jump on it (until you pick up 5 passengers in the area below). If you stand at the start, the first is to the left of the jump, the second is to the right, the third is at the top of the mountain to your left, the fourth is behind you in the car parking lot, the fifth is on the mountain to your right, the other two are on the second level, behind the jump, to the left and on right. You pick up everyone and take them to the end of the location. The main thing here is to speed up and be sure to speed up before jumping from a springboard.

Level SS: you need to travel around the entire city in the allotted time, the route is divided into checkpoints, where you are shown the time in color form (if it’s green, then everything is OK, yellow, we need to speed up, red, it’s time to “turn on the afterburner”). The main principle is the ideal route (you will understand as you have unsuccessful races, or watch the video on YouTube), we take shortcuts wherever possible, we do Crazy Dash and Crazy Cut all the time.

City map for SS level with start/finish point marked.
The map is the same as in arcade mode. In a 10-minute session, you can slowly familiarize yourself with the route; the starting point in arcade mode is the same. It is better to choose Gus or Gina, they have the narrowest cars, which will avoid collisions.
The complexity of the route is mainly due to heavy traffic and the peculiarity of the game that vehicles appear at a short distance from the player or in close proximity, all of which leads to numerous collisions and loss of time. The most difficult section is from Fire Station to the finish, the configuration of the section is simple, but the steep climbs on the straight and blind turns then make it impossible to see the traffic. Go around the traffic, where possible, on the sides and sidewalks, but be careful, cars are often parked on them. Use the springboards to fly over the cars (they are marked with red lines on the map).
