Hint: More Bolts

To get more bolts, morph-o-ray an enemy, then use the suck cannon to get a few more bolts than normal.

Hint: Money Up The Wazoo

After beating the Super Mecs, you can go back and fight them again. This method will help you get money real fast, this will also get you the very expensive weapon called the R.Y.N.O.

Hint: Hover Illusion

When you get the jet pack upgrade for Clank, you can hover. Normally you would see the jet pack, but I've figured out a little hint that makes it look like Ratchet is hovering on his own accord. Equip the jet pack and hover.

Once you hover, pause the game and equip the helipack. Once this is done, unpause the game and, VOILA! Ratchet appears to be hovering without the use of the jetpack or the helipack. Just a little tid-bit to everyone who is amused by just about everything.

Hint: Infinite Bolts

If you have your Robot Changer and your Taunter then you are ready to get them bolts.

You go back to Black Water City and go to the board race. Before you enter, turn into your robot. Then enter and the other racers will disappear. Then you go to the large ramp and stand under the platform with all the boxes. Then you need to get your Taunter out and hold CIRCLE down. You will get all the bolts you could want or put up with.

Hint: Eliminate a Racer

At the racetrack in the Gadgetron Site on Kalebo III, if you know you can't win the race, save a rocket until the end and launch it just before crossing the line. Select "Continue" and a rocket will fly towards and destroy the nearest racer at the start of the race.

Hint: Faster Access to Kalebo III race track

If you are having trouble getting to the race track on Kalebo III, there is an easier way due to a miscalculation by the programmers. Standing inside the first building (it is protected by a force field and has three other paths out and a vendor is in the centre) face the middle of the three doors. It is protected by a force field and should be either directly in front of you or slightly to the left, and fire a visibomb over the top of the force field. Steer it down to hit the button. You can now walk directly to the racetrack. Note that this will clear your objectives and get you the Hologuise but won't allow that part of the map to be explored until you go to the racetrack in the intended direction, this will not badly impact your game.

Hint - Infinite Bolts #2

There is another unlimited bolt exploit besides the one in Kalebo III and Blackwater City, Rilgar. The only requirement for this one is the HeliPack.

You will also get a gold bolt if you do this. Go to Kerwan (the planet that you get the HeliPack on) and go to where the first Gadgetron vendor is. If you look down in front of you, you will see some ships going into some strange platform-ish thing.

Glide down into an opening below. You should be able to get a gold bolt and there should also be a bunch of other bolts there. You will notice a bunch of ships zooming past you overhead. Normally you would get bolts for hitting them with a weapon of some sort in a long distance, like a Visibomb Gun.

But since you are in that gold bolt secret area, you don't need to use any weapons other than your wrench. Jump toward any of the ships and use an Upward Slash with your wrench, like a hammer. If you have good aim, you should hit one of them. Since there is an unlimited supply of ships, that means an unlimited supply of bolts. Keep destroying ships with your wrench until your heart is content, then you can take a taxi back up to your ship.
