==Tips==
  
−
* Picking up each of the first five packages will earn the player one star on the wanted level. The player must drive to the [[Pay 'n' Spray]] to eliminate the wanted level before delivering the packages. It is not really necessary, but going to [[Donald Love]] with the wanted level is very risky, as [[FBI Car]]s may ram the player constantly, causing the car to catch fire. Then, getting out is also dangerous as they have very powerful weapons.
  
−
* Park the boat on the pier right below [[Asuka's Condo|Asuka's condo apartment]]. There are always two [[Yakuza Stinger]]s and a [[Banshee]] there. Most importantly, police do not spawn here so getting into one of the fast cars is easy. Only one street leads here and on the right, there is an alley that leads directly into Staunton's Pay n' Spray, making the getaway easy.
