• Repeatedly tapping the X button results in small continuous bounces.
• Using the steering wheel joystick in tandem with the various X button tapping patterns results in the car bouncing about its rear axle, front axle and also about its sides.
• Players can also perform angular bounces by just changing the angle of the steering joystick.

For Xbox One:

• Hitting the A button once raises the car to the highest suspension setting.
• Holding down A and then releasing it makes the car bounce with all 4 wheels in the air.
