Sunset

Sunset

Sunset is the third track in Rush 2049 (CoinOp.) This track is one of Three (5 in TE, 4 in SE) advanced tracks, and features one of the longest shortcuts introduced in Rush 2049: The Mining cave, as well as the largest jump in the game, Strawberry Hill; which prints the players highest point of the jump to the HUD briefly. It is a medium length track that has the player drive on the environment rather than the road in some locations. This track would later be altered and repurposed for the Home ports of Rush 2049, and given the name 'Civic.' These changes include an additional shortcut above a building that takes the player near the mining cave, and the removal of a large stunt area near the start of the race.

Track Layout

Sunset begins at the bottom 19th avenue, and has the player navigating around Goldengate Park until finally reaching Geary Boulevard. From here it is a straight through Japantown with several hills that give the player air. Optional paths left or right of Geary may be utilized to save time. Afterward, a series of two banked left bends on Gough street take the player to Twin Peaks, where the player must decide to continue driving forward or take the optional left path. Near the top of the Ascent is Portola road; a bending but flat road that leads to a huge jump with a narrow short turn afterward. From there, the player will arrive to the top of 19th avenue, which will take the player right back to the Finish line to end the lap.

Coin Locations

Golden Gate Park - 16 Coins

• 7 coins are can be found directly underneath a small blue bridge near the start of the race. This area is accessible by taking a right turn immediately after exiting the bridge and driving down a dirt ramp.
• 9 coins in a line are placed behind a fence blocking off the Golden Gate Halfpipe. This fence can be opened by driving over the STV logo laying behind the line of 7 coins, underneath the bridge.

Golden Gate Halfpipe - 31 Coins

• 7 coins are in a straight line at the very bottom of the half pipe.
• 11 coins can be found near the top on the life side of the pipe; albeit very far apart from each other. Use First person view to make collecting these coins easier.
• 12 coins are placed on the right side of the pipe near the top. Immediately climb the pip at the entrance to the Golden Gate Halfpipe and stay toward the top.
• 1 coin at a very high point on the right side toward the back. Use the Orange arrow ramp and aim for the middle of the pink "8-way Racing" Billboard. The coin is near the center of the large pink graphic.

Geary - 5 Coins

• 3 coins in a line can be found in between buildings at the entrance of Geary. Instead of driving through Park Presidio, take the path in between the buildings.
• 2 more coins in a line are placed to the right of the previous 3, behind the buildings on the right side of the line of 3 coins.

Japantown - 4 Coins

• 1 coin is tucked away behind a wall next to the first set of train tracks. Stay on the higher right side road and take the first right onto the tracks to find this coin.
• 3 coins can be found in a line after driving across an overpass. To find the entrance, drive slowly on the right side of the road (close to where the first coin is.) follow that road until you get to a small concrete ramp. Take a slow left 180 degree turn up the ramp to drive across the overpass to find a small line of coins on the other side.

St. Mary's - 2 Coins

• 1 coin can be found on the front right side of the building, in between two wide columns.
• 1 coin is on the roof of the building in the back to the right. To get here, drive up the ramping curb on the right side of the main road with medium speed, then drive around the roof to find the coin.

Twin Peaks - 9 Coins

• 1 on top of a building with a platform roof. Access this area by staying on the normal path once you reach the fork, then take a slow left turn immediately after the dirt patch. Then, drive around the building on the cement to find this coin.
• 8 coins inside of a large pool of water on the right side of Twin Peaks. To get here, use the natural ramp in between the two paths at the bottom of Twin Peaks. Performing this jump is a bit tricky and may require a few tries.

Portola - 7 Coins

• 1 coin behind a building at the top of Twin Peaks. To find this one, take the detour at the start of the twin peaks ascent. Near the Satalite will be two buildings on the right, drive into the grass around the second building (its rounder than the first building,) to find this coin in a very small crevice behind the building.
• 6 coins line the left side of the Tunnel shortcut underneath the Satalite. To get here, take the detour at the start of Twin Peak and drive into the tunnel on the left side once at the top near the Satalite.

19th Avenue - 10 Coins

• 10 coins in a line sit above 19th Avenue on the right side. Near the top of the road, drive to the right along a ledge. Driving passed the line will lead to a green image of man's head.
• 6 coins in a line can be found behind the San Francisco Conservatory of Music Building, in the middle of 19th Avenue on the left.
• 10 coins in a line can be collected by immediately driving to the left at the start of the race and driving into the center of the turquoise building.. These coins can also be collected conventionally by completing the Mining Cave shortcut that can be found at the top of Twin Peaks.

19th Avenue - Unobtainable Coin

• At the top of 19th Avenue, drive facing the Finish line to the right and stop at a sign that reads "The Grove Appartments." The coin is behind a chain link fence, right behind the sign.
