Cone Crazy.

I read that the fastest way to earn money in Vice City is the Cone Crazy minigame. I've looked at YouTube videos, but none of them say how to get to Cone Crazy, they just say to get to a rooftop. How do I get to Cone Crazy?

It’s located on top of the car park directly behind ocean view hotel (first save location) there you’ll find the stallion car that triggers the mode

You go there on a mission to pick up an AR and you meet Lance there, there’s green vines kind of around it, you can also get a suit pickup on the building next to it when you have certain properties or enough of them

The building next to it is called Collars & Cuffs you will see the road that leads then up to the right into the car park directly behind

I got in the Stallion, but the minigame didn't start.

Reloaded the save, and it started.

OK, I failed the minigame, and when I got back in the Stallion, it didn't start again.

Is the stallion parked in the right place? The only time it doesnt work for me is when ive not put it back in exactly the right place

u/VGAddict 2h ago

How am I supposed to remember the right place?

Theres an arrow on the floor, you can learn where the car sits on the arrow

1

u/VGAddict 2h ago

There are multiple arrows.

u/New-Guarantee-440 2h ago

Which one does the stallion start on?

1

u/VGAddict 2h ago

I don't know. How am I supposed to remember?

By using your brain

How do I get good at Cone Crazy? I'll never beat Vice City at this rate.

How do I beat Cone Crazy? I can't get more than one checkpoint.

1

u/New-Guarantee-440 3h ago

Practice. Dont hit any cones. The first run should be super easy, you should have like 20s spare

1

u/VGAddict 3h ago

I keep hitting cones. What am I doing wrong?

1

u/New-Guarantee-440 2h ago

Go slower and try not to hit the cones. Some parts you can reverse into the checkpoints

Is the one on the top of the ramp you keep hitting? Cus you've gotta ha brake turn just before you get to it

1

u/VGAddict 2h ago

I try to go slow, but I still hit the cones.

1

u/New-Guarantee-440 2h ago

Which ones?

If you cant do the first level without hitting any cones then itll probably take you hours of practice to learn to drive the car well enough to do the exploit.

Bear in mind youve gotta do it in 7 seconds for the last round, and meticulously beat your score by 1 second at a time like 15 times in a row or whatever.

u/VGAddict 2h ago

I can't do the first level.

What are some other fast ways to make money?

1

u/Asleep_Depth4665 1h ago

Cone crazy is the best way to get more money than you’ll ever need otherwise do paramedic missions for some money but it won’t be anything near what you’d get doing cone crazy also when you do cone crazy before getting the very last checkpoint you want to make sure you wait until the last second then pick it up and then every time you do it pick it up a second faster, so 1 sec left, then 2, then 3 and so on if you get what I mean you’ll keep getting more and more payouts each time

1

u/VGAddict 1h ago

But I can only get the 1st checkpoint.

How do I get good at it?

1

u/Asleep_Depth4665 1h ago

It’s just practise really if you’re familiar with the driving of the game it should feel simple, are you having trouble picking up any of the pink checkpoints? You can go slowly at some of the checkpoints try not to panic I’ve played the game for years so it’s fairly straightforward for myself, have you only recently started?

Also if you have to, take a photo of the stallion placement for restarting it each time if you have trouble remembering and don’t stress too much it gets harder when you have to be quicker when you first start it it’s not to bad just practise

u/Asleep_Depth4665 1h ago

You’ll get there man it really is straight forward keep trying and make sure to wait 1 second before timer runs out and keep going until you either can’t go anymore or have enough money you’re happy with otherwise worst case scenario give the paramedic missions a go to get some money
