Ridge Racer DS
Glitches
Switching to Reverse w/o Choosing Extra
In the Ridge Racer stage, it can be flipped to reverse. First, drive a little bit far, about past the lap point, and go reverse. Drive to where you were just from and ram into the gray wall at fast speed. You should be flipped around, as well as the stage.
This also works for all stages in single player mode.
