To do:
  • See if there's anything else missing here.
  • The PR disc contains more than just story data - document all the early screenshots and concept art.

If The Simpsons and Grand Theft Auto had a love child, the result would most likely be The Simpsons: Hit & Run. Surprisingly, the end result is a pretty solid clone and what many consider to be the best Simpsons game. Not only that, but there's a lot of interesting unused content lurking inside, and we're not kidding when we say a lot.

I wish I had a dog with a saddle.

Placeholder Folders/Files

The 'scriptsmissions' directory contains two empty folders labelled level08 and level09, and the 'artmissions' directory contains a level08 folder too. Inside of the second 'level08' folder are two unfinished P3D files with vehicle data (which is used in missions to determine where the vehicles are positioned along with some other miscellaneous information). It's worth noting that it contains eight different start points when the game can only handle four vehicles at once. These were confirmed to be placeholders by a former Radical Entertainment employee.

Unused Areas

Level 1 - Mr. Burns' Mansion interior

Inside the Mansion.

The interior and front garden of Mr. Burns' Mansion are modelled and present in Level 1, and can be entered through hacks or with cheat code/bug exploits. The mansion is almost identical to the Level 4 counterpart, with a few changes. The front/back doors are closed, there is an invisible wall present around the middle chunk of the garden, the interior Krusty Glass doesn't always load, no road nodes exist, all props are missing and the interact spot/moving set pieces in the office don't exist (the walls act as though they have been flipped and there's a hole in the floor where the table would be).

Level 7 - 939 Area/'Rich Side'

The 939 Area, accessed using cheats.
Simpsons hit and run cheats gamecube

Due to time constraints and to make the artists' workload more manageable (as confirmed by a former designer on the Donut Team forums), the Rich Side/Springfield Nuclear Power Plant interior areas had to be cut from Level 7. If the player manages to get out of bounds to the Rich Side, however, plenty of leftovers can be found:

  • The bridge leading to the area is broken. A spawn point on the bridge as well as some collision for the ground and death/sound triggers in the water remain.
  • Some collision-less map remains. This includes some low detail houses and a road. These are different in appearance to the area in Levels 1 and 4.
  • A few tree props are placed upon what's left of the map. These work as normal.
  • Springfield Gasoline signs exist roughly around where the Gas Station there is placed in Levels 1 and 4. There are two of them, whereas only one is see-able from the bridge and placed in Levels 1 and 4. This is likely the result of an attempt to add more to the area to make it seem more complete to players from the block-off point; one sign would have been accidentally put in the wrong spot by a map editor and was quickly copy-pasted to a place of visibility.
  • A road node/vehicle reset point exists on the map remains (although this appears to be console only).
  • The jump camera for the roof ramp shortcut is still present (Level 7 merely uses Levels 1 and 4's jump camera file, hence why it is here).
  • The unused 'stone_cutter_spoof' music track was never removed from Level 7, so it can still be heard if the player goes to where the StoneCutters' building is.
  • The unused 'organ_music' can be heard if the player goes to where the StoneCutters' Hidden Tunnel is.
  • Textures for a miniature Springfield Prison and odd yellow/red object are placed under the map. This is also consistent with Levels 1 and 4.
  • Close to the location where Burns' manor would be are triggers for audio files called 'piggy_02' and 'ghost_kids_10', the first audio file is a bunch of pigs screaming, which doesn't quite fit the theme of Burns' mansion, the latter one is a 'ghost' Jimbo saying 'You better run!'. Due to a wrong filepath in the level7.spt script, the game fails to load the audio files and crashes (The files are located in a filepath 'sound/soundfx/positional', but the Burns' Mansion trigger reads the path as 'sound/soundfx/collect_soundfx', needless to say, there are no ghost_kids_10 or piggy_02 inside that folder).

Level 7 - Springfield Nuclear Power Plant interior

Behind the mysterious door. Spooky!

Just like the Rich Side, the Nuclear Plant in Level 7 is blocked off, but can still be accessed via hacks/exploits. There are no map leftovers, however. The sound triggers for the spinning wheel room and nuclear waste tunnel are leftover and functional.

Teleport Menu

The menu in Level 1.

An unused teleport menu that was probably used to test the game can be accessed in the Windows version by changing byte [[[6C894C]+2c]+CC]+2DC4 to 1 (per level load) and pressing F2 at the Phone Booth menu. It replaces the normally used cheat code 'all vehicles' Phone Booth sub-menu, so access to that is also required. The menu allows one to warp between various level locations that are preset via the level's 'level.mfk' file (scriptsmissionslevel0X). There are some related bugs, however: loop scrolling to the left in the menu doesn't work, the camera can be buggy when teleporting and triggers to change ambient audio, ambient light and pedestrian groups are skipped if this is used.

Unused Gags

In the files, by using text editing programs, the player can find three unused gags all meant for Evergreen Terrace (Levels 1, 4 and 7) and one for the Springfield Squidport (levels 3 and 6). These gags do not have a set place for where they appear, or have been commented out, making them unused. Setting a place for them in the game will allow them to spawn.

  • There was originally supposed to be a red and blue merry-go-round that was intended for both the playground near the Springfield Elementary School and in Evergreen Terrace, but the gag was cut for unknown reasons. When the player clicks on the gag, it would spin around. The Gag can be seen in the HUD Icon for the Springfield Elementary School playground.
  • In Levels 1 and 4, near the Tomacco field, there was supposed to be a flock of crows that flew away if the player got near them. The animation is glitched and incomplete, with the crows left hovering in the air afterwards, which is possibly why it got cut. A developer comment is present in the code for this Gag, which states that it was commented out due to memory issues.
  • In the Android's Dungeon, there was supposed to be a doll that blew up. It would produce an inflating and deflating sound when activated. The model for the Gag, gag_doll.p3d still exists in the game's files, but the model itself doesn't appear when the Gag is re-activated, possibly due to a bug. The sounds are still produced.
  • There was supposed to be a bat gag for Level 7 which would've functioned like Level 1's crow gag.
  • At the Planet Hype, there was supposed to be a gag for Level 3 where Moleman was stuck in his pink car. The gag can be seen on a picture in the scrapbook for Level 3. The model of Moleman for this gag still exists in the final game under the filename 'gag_mole.p3d'. Said model is rather large. Strangely, the string of code that controls what sound the Gag produces must be left commented out in order to get this Gag to re-appear, otherwise it throws an error, which prevents this Gag, along with most of the other Gags in the level, from loading if it is left in.
  • Inside of the Kwik-E-Mart Interior in Levels 1, 4, and 7, there is an unused Gag where Nelson punches Milhouse. It is a slightly edited version of a used Gag in the same area, the differences being that in the unused variant, the animation is set to loop and that Milhouse and Nelson stand in different positions.

Misplaced Objects

By using cheats or mods to go out-of-bounds in the level maps, the player can see some unused objects that are either erroneously misplaced or some leftovers that seemed to be from earlier in development.

In Level 1, there are two portraits that appear to be Simpson-styled versions of the painting 'American Gothic'. These were most likely intended for an earlier revision of the Stonecutter's Tunnel.

In Level 1, Level 4, and Level 7, there is a washing machine found. This is most likely a mis-spawn, as the washing machines are actually meant to appear outside Muntz's House. Strangely, there is a cow's head placed next to the washing machine in Level 1.

Collision Debug

By using a cheat code in the in-game options menu, one can toggle a debugging tool for collision. The area where the player's character or car is marked red, while the areas that aren't are white. It continuously changes as you drive along, the areas shown being the closest to you.

To access this in the GameCube and Xbox versions, head to the Options menu, hold L + R, and press B, A, B, Y. To access this in the PlayStation 2 version, head to the Options menu, hold L1 + R1, and press ○, ✕, ○, △.

Fair warning: on original hardware, this function is known to cause slowdowns.

Unused Cheat Code Entries

To do:
'Unknown' isn't going to cut it. Investigate further.

The game's cheat code index contains entries for several effects with no assigned button code, hence they go unused. Most are currently unknown.

  • 0: Effect unknown.
  • 2: Makes all costumes free to purchase.
  • 3: Unlocks all levels and missions.
  • 4: Effect unknown.
  • 10: Effect unknown.
  • 12: Effect unknown.
  • 13: Effect unknown.
  • 15: Effect unknown.
  • 17: Effect unknown.

Internal Project Name

To do:
Check other files as more can mention the IP name.

The game's text file name is SRR2, definitely being Simpsons Road Rage 2.

Revisional Differences

Each platform on which the game was released received a slightly different revision. In addition to this, the Windows version got a re-release later. Some of these changes were hardware related, others not so.

General

Progressive Scan Mode (480p)

All console versions of the game are capable of displaying in Progressive Scan (480p). The procedure for activating this display mode varies by console. Despite the similarity that all console ports can display in Progressive Scan, the confirmation screen actually looks different between the PlayStation 2 and GameCube versions. The steps for those consoles are listed below their respective screenshots. As for the Xbox version, connect the console to the TV using a device that enables the console to output HD resolutions. Then, while on the Xbox Dashboard, verify that the 480p option in Video is enabled and insert the game to start playing.

PlayStation 2GameCube
Press and hold the Cross and Triangle buttons while on the PlayStation 2 logo screen. Keep the buttons held until this screen appears. If you are not using the official YPbPr component cable to connect your PlayStation 2 (or backward-compatible PlayStation 3) to your TV, selecting NO is highly recommended.If you are using the official GameCube Component Cable, press and hold the B button while on the GameCube logo screen. Keep B held until this screen appears. If you are playing on a Nintendo Wii (model RVL-001) that is already outputting 480p, pressing and holding B while the game is loading is not mandatory since this screen should appear automatically.

Audio Quality Differences

There are three variations of the game's audio.

  • The Xbox version has the highest quality audio, as minimal compression was needed due to disc size.
  • Audio in the PlayStation 2/Windows releases is slightly lower quality than in the Xbox version.
  • GameCube has the lowest quality audio, with notable compression and being mono-only with one audio channel missing. This leads to some sounds being absent.

Textures/HUD

  • Windows has the highest quality graphics, with one mission icon (Snake behind bars) notably redrawn and different to the other releases.
  • PlayStation 2/Xbox use slightly lower quality versions.
  • GameCube uses smaller and more compressed versions of the PlayStation 2/Xbox HUD images because of space limitations.

GameCubePlayStation 2, Xbox and Windows

Console to PC Changes

The Simpsons Hit And Run Cheats Gamecube

  • Being a PC game, a launcher was added, in addition to extra in-game settings (which forced some setting removals and menu tweaks).
  • A lemonade stand prop was added to Level 1, in the park by the Simpsons' house. It rewards five coins when destroyed and remains in this state permanently on the save file.
PlayStation 2, Xbox and GameCubeWindows
Simpsons Hit And Run Cheats Gamecube
  • Level 1 has a Buzz Cola vending machine, placed at a shack by the tyre fire, which was removed in the Windows version.
PlayStation 2, Xbox and GameCubeWindows
  • The console versions feature a lens flare effect in Levels 1 and 3. The Windows version lacks this, assumedly due to (at the time) limitations with DirectX.
PlayStation 2, Xbox and GameCubeWindows
  • On Windows, entering a cheat code in the main menu's options menu will crash the game, forcing usage of the pause menu's options menu. Because of this, two cheat-code related sound effects exclusive to the main menu go unused for this release.
  • The console versions contain a road node/vehicle reset point just beyond the blocked off bridge in Level 7, allowing a correctly positioned reset to place the player slightly out of bounds.
  • As a result of what appears to be an oversight or bug, vehicle steering animations do not occur on Windows.
  • An incorrectly exported data chunk removes any texture randomisation for two signs in Levels 1, 4 and 7 (outside of the Springfield Elementary School and by the Community Centre) on Windows, leaving them stuck with the same texture each time the area is loaded.
  • For whatever reason, the console releases have more colours that traffic vehicles can randomly use at load.

Differences Between Console Versions

  • Early copies of the console versions contain a bug where Level 7's bonus mission (Flaming Tires) is replayable up until the area where Smithers spawns is unloaded. Oddly, the exclamation mark doesn't appear but the blue glow beneath his feet does.
  • The PlayStation 2 versions runs at a lower framerate (sometimes below 30) and this can slightly mess with the physics. Despite this, not all of the console's processing power is used, so it might be a case of inexperienced developers.
  • A cheat code to blur the screen can be input and accepted as valid on all releases, but only actually has an effect on the PlayStation 2 release.
  • The Xbox release contains an exclusive option for widescreen.
And

Hover Car

The refraction effect used by the Hover Car is different across all versions.

  • In the GameCube version, the effect seems to take the currently rendered frame and offset it, then render the offset version through the vehicle.
  • The PS2/Xbox version is more complex and distorts the image in relation to each face of the model.
  • The PC version does not feature the refraction effect at all, and instead just makes the Hover Car slightly translucent. It is unknown why this change was made, as the original effect can still be restored by modding. It is possible the developers just didn't have enough time/knowledge of the system to port the effect across.

Additionally, the transparency effect doesn't appear to work properly on GameCube, causing the windows on the car to not be transparent. This may be a result of a technical limitation with the refraction effect, as the windows actually do use a shader that supports transparency.

'Best Sellers' Revision

To do:
  • Get a screenshot of the newspaper change.
  • Find out what changes were made to the executable and srr2.p3d.

The 'Best Sellers' re-release of the PC version features some very minor differences to the regular PC version.

Simpsons hit and run cheats gamecube
  • The executable file was edited in some way.
    • It's possible that it was just recompiled, as opposed to any of the code being edited.
  • A typo was fixed in the French version of Level 2's newspaper where an Á was used instead of an À.
  • Similarly to the international version of the game, the mission objective text box is stretched slightly.
  • The file srr2.p3d was edited in some way. This is the file that contains all of the game's text.

Regional Differences

PAL Version

The PAL version of the game features numerous changes to allow for different languages to be supported.

  • The mission title on the mission briefing screen is in sentence case, instead of entirely capitalised.
NTSCPAL
  • The mission objective text box is stretched vertically slightly to account for different languages taking up more space in the text box.

Australian Release

The Australian version removed the line 'Don't come in here, we're making... sausages' due to censorship reasons.

Do not drive off. Park your car next to the little gap/walkway on the left. Hop out and run up to the first set of crates. Hop up to the very top and shimmy around the ledge. Inside the top crate is the Nightboat.

Simpsons Hit And Run Cheats Gamecube

Drive pink Cadillac

On level 6 with Bart, drive to Planet Hype (right at the beginning of the docks, there is a revolving planet there) and go on the roof. The Pink Cadillac is crashed into the front of the building in a little slot (facing the Squidport sign). Fall off the front of Planet Hype, land on the Cadillac, get in, and drive it.

Drive RC car

On the final level as Homer, drive to where the firetruck is a long ramp. As you jump off it, look off to the side. You will see a little car with an antenna. Slowly drive up past where the truck attaches to the ladder/ramp then drive fast towards the building with mildew under the roof. You could also climb up the other firetruck that is in the wreckage next to the building. Jump on the ladder, then go up to the top of the firetruck. Next, go over the side of the roof with the horizontal wood, then to the top of the roof with the RC car.

Drive a rocket car

In Homer's first level, drive to the power plant at the back of the town. Then, drive through the power plant. Once you reach the end, keep going along the road and on the left, in front of one of the big houses, you will find a blue and white rocket car that you can drive around.

Drive wrecked car

Jump out of your car as it blows up. Return to the wreck and press Y. You will be able to drive around in the wreck, with no weeks.

Easy money

Get the rocket car in front of one of the mansions. After you drive around and it gets destroyed, make sure you remember where you left it. Then, look for one of the wrenches and get it while out of a car. The rocket car will now return. You can smash it again and keep getting money as many times as desired. Additionally, enable the 'Invincibility' and 'Instant vehicle explosions' codes. Drive around town, hitting all the cars you can. You will get for every car that you explode. Note: This will cause a hit and run; watch out for the cops.

Multi-player racing game

Collect all the cards in one level to unlock the multi-player racing mini-game.

Giant chessboard

Simpsons Hit And Run Action Replay Codes Gamecube

On Homer's first level, drive into the nuclear power plant. You will soon find a blocked passage. Get out of your car, jump on the metal things, and double jump then press X to break it. Inside are more than 100 coins. When in, hit all of the chess people, get the coins, and knock down the trees for a nice amount of coins. Note: This place is huge and you cannot get your car in it.

Burning rubber

When you are about to start a new game, go to options menu and enable the 'Fast cars' and 'Red brick car' codes. In Homer's first level, get the rocket car and it will be the little red brick car. Get in it then hold L until you are at a complete stop. Keep L held and you will start to skid flames for a moment.

Alternate character reactions

When you buy different costumes, in each level the character you select will react differently when you allow him or her to remain idle. For example, choosing Bartman will have Bart jump up and fly around for a few seconds.
