How to unlock the X-Treme Off-Road achievement in Midway Arcade Origins - Definitive Guide

Not too bad, fairly straightforward.

I highly recommend saving your nitros in the first race. An occasional burst along the backstretch is OK if you're running too close for comfort, but hang onto them otherwise. With the prize money, I'd get acceleration.

Same goes for the second race, though you've got a bit more need at times because the AI is a lot faster. With the prize money, I'd go for top speed, and tires if you have enough. All remaining cash goes to nitros.

The third track should be cake if you saved your nitros. You can blow through the last lap, practically guaranteeing success. I had 20 going into the race myself, and burned half of them on the last lap.

One other pointer: Don't go after money or nitros on the track if they're in the corners, out of the usual driving path-unless you have enough of a lead or are confident enough in your skills.

I don't understand the steering controls. I just go in circles and crash into walls. ???

Make small adjustments. You'll get the hang of it. It's pretty much like the Sprint games.

No, I'm not getting the hang of it. These are the worst controls in any video game ever invented. Make small adjustments? That doesn't work, when I want to turn down, I press down, and the car goes up and left. Explain that.

I did it, but my strategy was completely different than yours. I used nitro a lot in the first race only to find that it drained my nitro by like 60%. I thought you had to use it sparingly but you don't. I refilled it after every race and used extra money on other stuff and had no problem what so ever.

You steer as if you are in the vehicle. If the vehicle is going from left to right and you want to go up, you would go left on the control stick.

I highly recommend modifying your solution to include the tips that RockMan Respect has mentioned.

You earn at least $100,000 from each win, not including your pick ups when you are just racing along the track. The first acceleration upgrade only costs $80,000, giving you at least $20,000 to spend on 2 Nitro refills. The same applies at the end of the second race. Use your Nitro leisurely, you'll likely never run out anyways unless you spam it (in which case, you'll likely end up bouncing off the walls often and lose).

The controls are a little awkward because in the arcade this was literally a steering wheel. If I remember correctly those burned out easily because the track was the same picture the entire time. But they looked like a lot of fun because it was one of the few games that was 4-player at the time. We never played it because it ate quarters like a beast.

If you press right/left, it will go right/left no matter which way the vehicle is facing

Make sure you do this on score attack and not free play

The worst game ever. Trampolines for walls, square tyres a barges steering. What the hell were they thinking. Awful, awful, awful. Avoid like the plague.

It was only the first track that was a little tricky. 2nd and 3rd were much easier. 4th goes back to tricky but is not required.

Super Off-Road is definitely the easiest of the 3 racing trophies. And just like the others, I found it easiest to use the D-Pad as opposed to the joysticks.

You only need to win 3 races in a row to grab this trophy, but, unlike the "Sprint" games, the AI is dumb even in the 3rd race. Just drive your truck like you stole it, avoiding water and walls, using your nitro boost when you need it on straightaways mostly. Grab money if you can because you can upgrade between races. I just got Accel upgrades each time and spent the leftover money on Nitro. Really, it shouldn't give you much issue once you have a feel for the turning controls. After your 3rd win in a row, the silver is yours.

This one is fairly Easy, the first two races start off simple much like Sprint and super sprint and then get harder on the third race.

For the first race don't use boost at all and try to get as many item pick ups as possible, spend cash on accelerate and engine, if you have the cash buy some boosts.

For the second race, same concept if a boost is absolutely necessary go ahead but save them for stretches and don't use more than three. same buying strategy.

I entered into the last race with about 40 boosts and got 1st place by about a half a lap. save boosts for stretches and keep corners tight while prioritizing control.

It may take a few tries but you'll get this one fairly easily.
