Xmas Race

You start on a racetrack. Pick up the Cabio Key but do not get into the car yet. Go west through an opening in the fence and dive into the water. Swim south and into the south-west corner to get secret #1 and a Ice-Rose. Surface to pull up to the east side. Go to the south-east corner and see a tree covered with snow. Crouch beside it and pick up the crowbar. Return back to the entrance and enter the racetrack and go back to the car. Drive through the racetrack and try not to hit the wall. If possible, cut the corners sharply and do not go wide. When you make it through the gate the next level loads. I found this to be the hardest timed run. The later timed runs seem easier to do.

Xmas Race 2

Drive to the end, trigger two snowballs that slow you down and miss the gate. There is a cage on the route that did not open. Then drive back to the start and drive through a gate in the south-east onto an ice field. It may look closed but just drive over the fire and into the gate. Get out of the car and go to the middle of the fires for a small medipack. Go to the south-east corner near the fence corner for secret #2 and an Ice-Rose. Start from the ice field for the next try, as it seems to help. You can drive through the snowballs on the racetrack and they do not slow you down as they did on the first try. When you make it through the gate the next level loads.

Xmas Race 3

Get out of the car and look for a triangular opening in the north-east corner behind the car. Follow the crawl space that is tight in a corner and emerge into a graveyard. Go to the south-east and circle around to the back of the church to find four open unused graves. Enter one of them for secret #3 and an Ice-Rose. Go back through the crawl space and return to the car. Leave the car there for a while and run down the racetrack. When you see spikes popping up go east through an open section of fence. Go to the north-east corner of the frozen pond and fall into the water. Swim to the south-west corner to pick up secret #4 and an Ice-Rose. Get out of the water and return to the car. If takes a few tries to get the delay correct, but you want to start so that the spikes are down when you drive other them. When you make it through the gate the next level loads.

Xmas Race 4

Get out of the car and stand behind it on the west side. You should see a wooden walkway to the west. Face north and do a left side flip to get over the fence and onto the walkway. Follow the walkway to a building and open the door. Enter a room with a large fireplace and get secret #5 and an Ice-Rose from the floor. Exit and follow the walkway back and jump over the fence. Leave the car there and run down the racetrack. You eventually come to a wooden fence in front of a yellow house on the right side. Use the crowbar to open the south-east section of the fence. Go south and open the door of the house. Crouch under the east table to get secret #6 and an Ice-Rose. Exit and go back to the car and drive down the racetrack. When you make it through the gate the next level loads.

Xmas Race 5

Get out of the car and walk forward to the third Final Fantasy wall tile on the left just in front of a dead tree. Side flip over the sign and you are over the fence. Go to the middle of the trees in the north-west and get secret #7 and an Ice-Rose. Side flip back to the racetrack. Forget about the car this time and run down the racetrack. Watch out for falling icicles. Just before the closed gate, climb a block to the west. You get a cut scene of Lara picking up something and the next level loads.

Xmas Race 5 (Revised)

Pick up the scroll on the ground and examine it.

"Choose your road
continue right an another lap by moto...
there might wait another 2 secrets to be revealed...
continue left to exit the game..."


The car has been replaced by a motorcycle. If you try to return to the north the level ends as stated in the scroll. Go towards the motorcycle and the next level loads.

Xmas Race (Revised)

Get on the motorcycle and drive to the end and the next level loads. There are no gates or timed runs for the remaining levels.

Xmas Race 2 (Revised)

Drive down the racetrack and notice that the cage is down. Drive into the hole and stop in a large room. Get off the motorcycle and look to the upper south-west corner for a crawl space. Get into the crawl space and follow it to the end. Get secret #8 and an Ice-Rose. Get back out and back onto the motorcycle. Continue out the tunnel and through the checkpoint and the next level loads.

Xmas Race 3 (Revised)

Drive down the racetrack to the end and the next level loads.

Xmas Race 4 (Revised)

Drive down the racetrack and notice that a large gate is open on the left side. Enter and go down the ramp. At the bottom of the ramp get off the motorcycle and climb a block just south of the entrance. Get secret #9 and an Ice-Rose. Get on the motorcycle and drive out the other ramp. Turn left onto the racetrack and the next level loads.

Xmas Race 5 (Revised)

Drive down the racetrack to the end and the game ends when you cross the EXIT sign on the ground.
