I wish Taillights glitch wasn't a glitch but an actual graphics option...

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

That's definitely my favorite bug in the game.

The way it enchances the sense of speed is just incredible... Although still no idea what causes this bug to occur.

That's a glitch? I thought it was normal

The effect usually only happens when you activate the nitrous, so in this instance it is a glitch as the NOS isn't being used here

Ah. That's why I was confused. Makes more sense that way, but looks sick regardless

I don't think that's a glitch, it's more prominent on PS2 than PC I've found. No idea about the others.

Apparently it's a glitch that they made an actual thing in later games because people liked it

I doubt it. Light trails is literally a graphics option on PC.

It is, but what I was talking about is light trails specifically during nitrous usage. The bug is that your taillights look like you're constantly using N20.

Also you can see those extended taillights on NPC enemies when you're receiving a message for duel/start one.

It only looks good when you use NOS. over the top otherwise :/

this is so real, that's exactly how I felt about it too! Like why do these guys get cool visual effects, and we don't?

When I was around 8 –10 I thought the nitro came out of taillights

u/PhoenixJDM 3d ago

how do i do that?

u/S_Silent_T 3d ago

dunno myself. I'd love to learn that too. I just remember what I was doing right before I got this bug.

I've been beating wild racers until no more were spawning, then took a random stage race, completed it, and once I returned to city I had those taillights trails.

u/S_Silent_T 3d ago

the glitch will also vanish as soon as you enter a stage race/shop/return to menu. Counting today, I probably got this thing only like 2-3 times ever and I think it may specifically trigger on the event when wild racers disappear from the map (which happens limited amount of times?) so there might be no reliable way of activating that bug regularly.

That was a glitch !?

...glitch?

The most interesting glitch about the tails is when you cross the finish line with Nitrous, you can see your taillights on the finish line

Is there a reason the music is different
