The VideoKid (JP)

Depending on how quick you are with your reflexes, this will most likely be the last trophy you earn. You don’t have to do all 3 runs consecutively, you just need to complete it 3 times period. There is a way to make this a little easier on yourself, but you sacrifice earning more money by doing so.

In your first run, go big or go home. Go for the 30 Video Tape deliveries and when you finish, after all the bonus points have been awarded, you’ll easily have over the 20,000 required for YOU SCORED 20000 points!.

In your second and third runs, ignore the mailboxes completely. Since you don’t need any trophies related to those, you can focus simply on avoiding the obstacles and making it to the end. Doing this will lower your overall score and the money payout as well, but it honestly makes it so much easier to complete the course. If you still need money for the clothing and moves, you can grind solely for cash when you're done here.

TIPS:

Stay in the center lane as much as you can. Cars will never come from behind you here so you’ll be able to grind on the ones that appear ahead or move to the left lane if you can’t. For the most part, you can grind on all the cars, but avoid the following:


Black Jeep: The lights on the top of the cab of this vehicle will prevent you from grinding on it


The Ecto-1: The slights and siren will prevent you from grinding on it


Cop car with loud speaker: The speaker will prevent you from grinding on it


Lion O and the white tank: He does a lightning spell that will hit you


Large tank: You can grind on it only if you jump off at the very end, before the gun, but it’s best to avoid it altogether


Party Wagon/TMNT Van: You can grind on it only if you jump off before you hit the spoiler, but it’s best to avoid it altogether


The A-Team Van: You can grind on it, but will need to jump off before you hit Murdock (sticking out the back) and will need to jump in time to also hit the green MP cars behind it. It’s best to just avoid this


Mystery Machine: It has two bars on top that will prevent you from grinding, let alone the ghost chasing it that will be difficult to jump over


Yellow Convertible from Scarface: There are actually two convertibles that look incredibly similar, so just avoid both of them to be sure, but the one pictured belongs to Tony Montana. When you jump on it, he will whip out a gun, say his every-so-famous line, and shoot you.

If you need to avoid any cars, prioritize switching to the left lane instead of the far right (cars come from behind you in the far right lane and they are more difficult to dodge). When in the left lane, you can grind on benches and the blue mailboxes, but will need to move out of the way for the plethora of 80’s movie and TV characters making their way downtown.

Twice on the course, you will come to an intersection that was a cop standing in the left lane, a sewer in the center, and a bus in the right:
 

You need to go down into the sewer to get past. The first time, you just need to avoid the pipes and grind on the barrels. Ignore the crocodile, he’s not worth the trouble to get the coins. When you grind on the last barrel, you need to quickly move to the center lane to exit. The second time you go down, you’ll need to dodge and jump over the pipes as well as grind on the barrels. When you pass Splinter (the rat from TMNT), you will see some train tracks. Just before these is a switch on the wall that you need to hit with a video tape to stop the train:
 

Also appearing twice in the course will be the Arcade area. You’ll either have Pac-Man fruit and ghosts appear, or aliens from Space Invaders. Stick to the left and center lanes here as a Cop Car comes from behind you in the right lane. It’ll spin out, blocking the road. You’ll avoid it if you stick to the far left lane.

When you reach the intersection at about the 1345m mark, the final sequence will begin. A red car with 3 guys will pull up next to you (Biff and his buddies) oh whom will throw bottles at you. There will be a red circle that appears on the ground where the bottle is going to land, so just move out of that lane to dodge them. When they’re done, their car will slow down. You need to move over to the far right lane so you’re in front of the car (you’ll grab a hold of it) to dodge a large semi, swerving in the road. When you’re past it, hit to get away from the car and immediately move to the center or left lane (the red car will crash).

The final part has a few variations, but they mostly just involve dodging very large things.

Spy Hunter Truck: A large black truck will appear in the far right lane. It’ll open the back and drop coins and a black car. When the car is out, move to the right lane (so you’re behind the truck) to avoid the black car that will speed past you.

AT-AT: A straight up AT-AT walker from Star Wars will appear in the middle of the road. Stick to the far left lane to avoid its feet.

StayPuft Marshmallow Man: The large puff man himself will be walking in the road. Dodge him on by driving in either the left or right lane.

Jessica is just after whichever character/obstacle spawns, so just make it through them, collect some coins and a purple gem, and you’ll be done!
