Exploration/Secrets
"Powerslide" allows you to drive anywhere, with no "invisible walls" to keep you from driving wherever your vehicle is capable of going. Various secret areas and cheat codes are cleverly hidden around the tracks. The cheats are simply posters with a word on them, which you can type in while racing to perform such feats as slowing down time, climbing up walls (very useful), and using weapons.
The secret areas add an extra appeal to the game, as well as more playing time. There is no single exploration "mode"--simply explore the adandoned landscapes on the standard "single race" mode, with unlimited time.
Below is a list of several hidden areas that can be found on various tracks.

Speedway
If you can manage to reach the crowd seating area located on a level above the race track, a few concession stands can be seen with the words "hot dogs" written on them.
The Dam Track
At the top of the actual dam that you drive on the side of, there are a lot of holes that you can drive into. If you drive into one of them (typing in the word "spider" helps you drive up its side unhindered), turn left, and go forward, the "warp" cheat is located on the far wall.
Mineshafted
Right after the huge jump, hit the brakes and cruise over into the stalagmite cave section to the left. On the back of one of the stalagmites is the "blast" cheat poster with a light shining near it.
The Freezer
Turn around as the race starts and go backwards for a bit. If you use the "spider" cheat (by typing it in on the keyboard) and climb up to where you see some houses (to the right), a couple of them have "wanted" posters for two Powersliders.
Nutopia
Right before you make the downward drop into the large ventilation shaft, there is a seemingly out-of-reach area located above the same tunnel. Use the "jump" cheat right before you fly into the tunnel to reach this area, which includes a cheat poster and an interesting picture located on the right wall that I assume is of the developers of the game.
