[. . . ] This means you can collect them and use them at a more appropriate moment. These powerups can be activated by pressing the activate key (default: Alt), until the powerup has run out, and is no longer displayed on the screen. When you collect more than one type of user operable powerup, it is possible to rotate through the list of what you have in stock by using the powerup cycle buttons (default: [ and ] ). Just keep pressing these cycle buttons until you find the one you really want to use. As an added bonus, powerups will respawn after a certain amount of time, so if you have run out of flame-throwers, for example, you can go back to where you found it in the first place, and pick up some more. APO Slots On the in race screen you will see three icons representing armour, engine power, and offensive ability. Next to each icon is an indicator showing how much of that item you do have, how much you can have right now, and how much you could possibly have by the time you finish the game. When you start the game, you will have 4 Slots each for Armour, Power, and Offensive. These are represented by the darker blue boxes, which indicate that they are available, but empty. Provided that you have enough money, you can buy upgrades and collect powerups until you have filled all your slots. The slots will turn from dark blue to yellow, to indicate the amount of APO that you have bought. During the course of the game, you will have to find and collect special powerups which will award you extra slots. You won't miss out on too much, but you may never really feel satisfied in life until you have read this next section. Mini Map The map tucked away in the corner of your screen gives you plenty of information. That triangle in the centre of the map is you. The yellow triangle represents your opponents who are still alive. When they are wasted, they appear in black. If there are any opponents who are still alive, a yellow line will appear on the map to give you a bearing to that opponent (or target, for some missions). Be aware that the mini map is always displayed relative to your car. That means that stuff displayed to the left of you car will be on your left, and vice-versa. As you turn your car around, the map rotates accordingly. The mini map also shows you a blue line, which gives you a bearing to the next checkpoint on the level, if appropriate, and if you care. Big Map The big map is a full screen version of the mini map and can be viewed by pressing the map key (default Tab). This map is always displayed with `North up', and does not rotate. When looking at the big map, a small window shows your car, and you can continue playing the game.
