You can play Ramone? *squeals* I wonder if it's the same way on the Gamecube version?

[ashkihyena]

Theres a Ramone on the GameCube version, but no Snot Rod, DJ or Boost though, well, only for one mission. >.>;;; Which an't cool.

[Kayota]

damn. I really need to buy that... >_> I'd love being Ramone. XD

I don't know if I undestood that right, but may it be true that if you play against others ("multi player thing") you also get new characters?
After playing against two friends I won Sarge, Luigi and Flo. After finding that out we played more but did not get any other characters. Can it be that there is a special character on every UMD or so? We were 3 people together, 3 PSPs and 3 games and we got 3 new characters.

Oh and what needs to be done to get Ramone?

Mirror Mode

If you collected three postcard pieces in any race, you'll unlock its Mirror Mode. Mirror Mode is a reversed version of a track, which means a race will be the reversed version of a race, which will make it harder to race. So, know your races well, & you'll master Mirror Mode.
