If a stage has a green outline on the level select screen it means there is a transmitter you haven't collected yet, these transmitters will unlock new bonus stages.

In Total, there are 36 Side Missions. With few exceptions, side missions are triggered by the collection of CPs (Communication Points.) in the level. You simply touch them and they are active, offering a new side mission on the mission select screen.
There are 26 CPs total. If you have a mission available with an inactive CP, then it will show a Green border on the mission select screen rather than a red one.

For the Racing levels, some tips ----
First, Some levels (Cooter Creek, Jade Plateau, and Skerries) have a shortcut that you are intended to find and use or you will never win.
Secondly, almost any vehicle can go lightning fast off road as long as you don't accelerate offroad. Just let yourself coast, you'll barely slow down at all.
Third, Before every race, there are four tones played and the light turns green, if you press the accelerator for the first time exactly on the fourth tone when the light changes, you'll get a boost.
Last thing, if you need to wreck a building for a race, (or in the regular game) this is key!! If your vehicle hits the building while airborne or tilted on its wheels, the parts of the building that you hit will automatically wreck. Some levels are built around this concept. If you see a rock touching a wall of a building, you're meant to drive over it to wreck the building.

Alongside the carrier stages, Blast Corps includes a large number of bonus stages, which challenge you with a course to complete (based around either a race or destruction) as fast as possible. Depending upon how fast you complete these, you'll be awarded with a medal - bronze, silver or gold for progressively tighter time thresholds. A platinum medal can also be earned once you've achieved gold on every stage.
Of course, before you can attempt the bonus stages you'll need to unlock them, which may simply be from completion of an adjacent stage in the world map but in many cases will require the location of communication points - see the "Corps Blimey, Guvnor!" achievement above for these and refer to the diagram included under the "Carrier Bagged" achievement above for the locations of the bonus stages.
To unlock this achievement, you'll need to earn at least a bronze medal on every bonus stage. Bronze times are generally quite forgiving, but if you need any help with your speed in a stage, the following Youtube video demonstrates platinum-speed completion of all stages in the game:
A list of the threshold times for each medal can be found in this guide: click here (refer to the NTSC/North American times, even if you're based in a different region).
