Bonus

From Carmageddon Wiki
(Redirected from Bonuses)

Bonuses are awarded to the player for fulfilling certain criteria while racing. Computer-controlled opponents cannot get these achievements. A message appears on the screen when the bonus is earned, and the reward is extra credits.

Pedestrian Bonuses

All games

An animation of a pedestrian getting hit from the side, granting an extra style bonus.
  • _x combo bonus!: Hit more than one pedestrian with the car or a power-up in quick succession. In Carmageddon, this bonus only reaches up to 5, and on the other games, to 10.
  • Bonus for artistic impression: Hit a pedestrian creatively, for example landing on one after a jump.
  • Extra style bonus!: Kill a pedestrian using the side or rear of the car.
  • Piledriver bonus!: Crush a pedestrian between the car and a solid object (such as a wall or lamppost).
  • Splatter bonus!: Hit a pedestrian in a way that it splits severely. This can be achieved by smacking it with good speed.
  • "Nice shot, sir": Hit a pedestrian with a movable object that is not the player's car (such as a traffic light).

Splat Pack

  • Got 'im in the bollocks!: Intended to be awarded for hitting Satan's testicles in Hell. Bonus removed from the final game.
    • This bonus is also unused in Carmageddon II.

Carmageddon II only

  • Stitch that!: Hit a pedestrian with the ball of the mutant tail thing.
  • Award for outstanding achievement: Hit a pedestrian with the mutant tail thing, when detached from the car. This can be achieved by spinning at high speed and cutting the tail so it hits a pedestrian.
  • Cat 'n' mouse bonus: Make a pedestrian loose a limb without killing it in one of the player's impacts.
  • Barbeque bonus: A pedestrian was burnt to death. Can also be achieved if one kills a pedestrian that is burning but not yet dead.


Driving Bonuses

All games

  • Head-On Bonus!: Collide with an opponent head-on.
  • Cunning Stunt Bonus!: Land on the car's wheels after spinning through the air. Sometimes, this bonus is earned while still in mid-air.

Carmageddon only

  • Rollover Bonus!: Roll onto the roof and end up back on the car's wheels (Bonus removed from the final game).

Non-bonuses

Better known as scrollers, these texts appear when the player matches certain criteria, similar to bonuses, but unlike bonuses, you don't gain credits from them.

All games

  • Wot/What a punt!: A pedestrian has been killed in a stupid or gruesome matter. Generally appears if said pedestrian wasn't killed at its first strike.
  • Dropped like a stone: A pedestrian fell from a high height.
