There's a biker gang led by Mitch Baker, it would be great publicity. Very rock and roll, baby. Sort this out for me and I'll get you some back stage passes for the gig, awright?

Video Walkthroughs[]
Oversights[]
- On some occasions, after sounding the horn to call the drug dealer, the drug dealer will not appear, but his dialogue plays. Afterwards, the game softlocks.
- If the player drives a one-seated vehicle into the marker (for example, a Pizza Boy), Mercedes won't be able to enter it, and the game will softlock.
- When landing a Maverick into the marker (when picking up Mercedes), sometimes, the Maverick will not land completely and when Mercedes attempts to enter it, she will get bumped by the helicopter and drop down the floor. When she stands, she freezes and the game becomes softlocked. This can also happen if the player tries picking her up in a one-seated vehicle.
- The Japanese and the German "Green Pepper" versions of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City fix the latter by informing the player to bring a vehicle with more seats.
- Another similar glitch occurs if the car that the player is driving flips upside down during the cutscene where the player picks up Mercedes. The dialogue will play, but she will not be able to enter the car, and Tommy cannot exit the vehicle. The only way to close the game is to force-close it.[1]
Trivia[]
- The place where Tommy and the drug dealer meet is the Easter Egg Building.
- Contrary to Guardian Angels, the player can blow up the motorcycle of the drug dealer and still retrieve the stuff. However, if the dealer has exited the bike and is killed by the explosion or fire, the stuff will get destroyed, failing the mission.
