Simpsons Hit & Run - Top 10 Hardest Races

Finally a new Top 10! Join me as a recall the 10 hardest street races that I remember from the Simpsons Hit and Run! Don't forget to check out my other SHAR content as well.

[@upriiserii5895]

Level 3 Time Trial deserves an honorable mention due to the fact that it includes a ramp going on to the boat and that jump can cause multiple time consuming problems and can possibly destroy your car.

[@rustyshackleford7179]

and how the ramp itself is glitched or some shit. sometimes you will nail the jump other times you randomly collide with the ramp when going up it.

[@jonatassouza6500]

that was the only one Time Trial race I had trouble finishing

[@MG-hi9sh]

Yeah, that jump is difficult, if you mess that up, it really ruins your chances. I'd say levels 2, 3 and 7 probably had the hardest street races in this game. Levels 1 and 4 actually had quite easy street races. Levels 5 and 6 weren't too hard, but not that easy either. I personally think the level 3 checkpoint race (Ralph's race) is the hardest street race in the game, I had so much trouble getting past the Canyonero in that race as a kid. So many tries, so much rage until I finally completed it. Marge's car is so fast in that race, then you actually get to level 4 and it's slow af. Fkn bullshit man, the game was clearly trying to troll us all. 😂😂

[@mrparadise2947]

​@rustyshackleford7179 don't forget how depending on the car you use you can't go up the ramp at full speed bc then it'll make your car do some weird bounce causing you to miss the boat fall into the water and spawn outside of the racing grounds.

[@skarmorydx3565]

I think Marge's Canyonero goes faster than usual cause the developers have some special files that modifies the car's stats (you have a very good example at the mission "Duff for me, Duff for you" where you have to Hit a Duff Truck (yeah the red truck from 1st level), It's easy to think it's speed will be the worst but in fact it goes as if it were a car from that level. (If not, you can check Donut Mod level 2 and the Destruction Derby like challenge, and see Skinner drive his Sedan like it had turbo On) And about the street races....oooh, I can totally agree here. that 1st place one was the worst when I barely knew how to play

[@jammychoo]

Yeah. I noticed it very fast. Especially in flowers by irene

[@CimmerianShiro]

If you race barts red ferrini in level 5 with apu using the ferrini aswell , in a head to head drag race barts one pulls ahead like it has 4½ - 5 star speed

[@MrFusion]

Yeah, I was gonna comment the same thing. Cars in missions usually have unique stats. Like, Mr. Burns Limo is super so slow, which doesn't make sense. Or like you said, the Canyonero's stats get adjusted for the level 3 races.

[@adroduke5052]

Marges Canyonero in those 2 races used a different car setting, she had not only more speed and accel, but better handling as well, and the developers had to do this cause, if the canyonero used its actual stats (the one that we use or what its shown on the car selection screen) that race would of been way too easy and probs wouldn't of made this list. they did it for all the races in this game

[@CdH94]

The generic sports car you can steal in level 2 is actually the fastest car in that level. Somehow I always end up with a brown one.

Here’s some tips: for the no wrenches problem, go to the options menu, hold L and R, then press YAYA, your car is now invincible! Then: press YYXX(while still holding L and R), you can now one hit-destroy the other racers, ensuring your victory,(unless you quit/not enter YAYA and crash too much)

Level 3 and 6 had some hard ass races that I struggled hard with especially when I was new with the game, although I got good enough to beat the time trial with the money car

[@thatsimpsonsfan5562]

I always did the races with the default cars just so I can understand the actual difficulty of a race, plus it’s so much more fun that using an open wheel racer 😁

13:05 - You know, there is a little puck at the left where the blue and white barrels are that will take you through the Bowlarama shortcut if executed right.

[@DolanDuking]

How to beat the level 6 checkpoint race: Slow down before reaching the big ramp, homer will rubberband and go too slow to clear the jump and with any luck will get caught on a ring

[@xFaisal_HK]

I knew number one, because Marge became the best racer. I've always had problems when I was playing that race but as always, she messes up at 13:10 so you can eventually win the race with no problem. But I want to know this: Why Lisa's car has three star acceleration and Marge's one and a half? Also the handling, Lisa's four and a half and Marge's three. But the speed is the same: two and a half.

[@radarlove8893]

[@Phantom_Kraken]

Can you do Top 10 cars in the game or top 10 costumes in the game please.

[@Phantom_Kraken]

Pls like if you agree

[@alsocool1]

I'm genuinely surprised to see Level 2 Circut race missing from the top 10 entirely. That race belongs on my number 1 spot because I've reset that race probably 10 times as much as any other race. Lisa's Malibu Stacy car is so fast on every straight in that race (and the race is basically 4 straights and 4 short corners) that the only time you can catch up is on corners.

[@Abigdummy4life]

Fun fact is, even if you use another playable Ferreni to race Bart's in Level 5, it's programmed to be MUCH FASTER THAN YOUR'S. I would say hands down it's the second fastest car in the game, bar none. Hell, CPU versions of cars are tweaked very weirdly; Snake's Lil' Bandit in the radio mission in Level 2 just when you're prompted to talk to Cheif Wiggum is THE TANKIEST car in the game. You can find that CPU version of Snake driving all around the level in a set pattern so long as you don't talk to Wiggum after you finished following the "pizza" van.

[@kerronmcsween6095]

Marge's canynaro is much higher and bumps more than Lisa's Malabu Stacy car, she can always stay above that's why I will use Marge's canynaro for her own check point races, same with the others 😌

Nice video! These races are pretty damn hard. I hope you do some more SHAR videos of this sort. I'd be interested in seeing an Easiest Missions Outside of Level 1. Also, regarding the level 6 races, I think the Globex Super Villain Car is the best car of level 6. I'd recommend using that over Snake's Bandit.

I recently started playing this game again and number one is no joke but I made it even more challenging for myself for using the boat car

[@user-js2xn9jv9l]

The only one I could never beat with the cars available in that level was number 9 (Frink's race in Marge level). He is too fast compared to anything you have access to in level 4, so I would definitely rate it as the hardest race in the game for me (not so hard if you change the rules and use level 6 or level 7 cars, of course) The thing I loved the most about these races is that they always hyped me up about the car and character I was gonna be using in the following level

[@kalerug]

I found that the race at 4:30 is significantly easier if you use the Bandit, which is obtainable from Level 6's Bonus Mission, so the rule about using cars available in that one level still applies.

For the fifth street race, the dark green car is actually faster the honor roller, so it's easier to race with it. Since I prefer it's design rather than honor roller, I would usually use that car, so it was kind of easy for me, but when I tried the race with honer roller, it was as annoying as you said :v

[@SamnissArandeen]

General strategy: Level 1 use the rocket car, unlock the Elec-Taurus and use that as the Level 2 race car. Level 3, get your ass on that C-Spanker, grab the boat car, dominate the races there. Get the Curator in Level 4, or the tractor if you're like me and can handle the understeer for higher speed. Level 5 is simply hair pulling but Hover Car is best bet. 6 grab the Bandit and 7 either Hover Bike or Hearse. Full disclosure: Your 9 is my 1. Goddamned Hover Car race. I have trouble with that damnable race going back with the Open Wheel car.

[@machonacho8373]

Good video!

[@angelwolfdraws7964]

My Thoughts 10. That race is scary sometimes, thank goodness for the shortcuts. Plus the way Apu replied to Patty though! 9. Honestly this race was super annoying, I (and probably you and everyone else.) may never understand why Frink was in this race when the next character is Apu. 8. This can be super annoying but as long as you don't get near those cars and Bart and drive carefully, you'll be good. Again, that ending dialogue with Patty and Apu. 7. This one was a nightmare! Homer is way too fast for Bart, however there is a weird glitch that you can possibly win when Homer is in the lead. 6. All I can say is that dialogue that Patty and Bart have when Bart loses almost makes me wanna hug Bart while crying. How could you do this to us Homer?! 5. This race can be annoying but I think you described it better than I could explain it. Also you should consider doing The Top 10 reasons why you HATE Lisa. Just an idea. 4. This race can be actually easy, just try to avoid the cars and you might get lucky enough that the last car that tries to catch up will be the hearse. It's almost sad to think about it. 3. Lisa, what have I ever done to deserve your HORRENDOUS street races?! Marge is not only a disgrace in the show but a BIGGER disgrace in the games as well. And MOST of that goes to these street races, that I honestly feel offended from this. 2. All you gotta do is be quick and careful for this race, once you can do that, it can ALMOST be easy. 1. Dear Marge, I. HATE. YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!! I already have a HUGE hatred on Marge (Please don't hate me for this.) and this is one of the many reasons why I HATE her! This race is a nightmare and even Patty will offend you when you lose, that even LISA will be too depressed to say anything. Now if you excuse me *Gets in the fire truck* I need to KILL Marge! And don't forget about the Top 10 Reasons Why You HATE Lisa! >:D

[@Nblock00]

I hated MARGE in level 3. I left her in the dust with Barts ferrini black ferrini 70 sports car hearse and ESPECIALLY THE OPEN WHEEL RACE CAR AND ROCKET CAR TO SEE HOW SHE FEELS. It was after I completed the race first time. Then I got revenge with those cars

Re: the complaint about Marge's soupped up stats, the devs did that with every vehicle when racing/in a mission against them.
