WithLike A Dragon: Infinite Wealth, classic arcade game fans have been given the gift of a spiritual successor to Crazy Taxi. However, it isn’t a one-to-one remake of the arcade classic. Instead, it adds its own unique elements, including unique obstacles and a combo system. Oh, and you are on a bike and not in a taxi in this one.
Either way, it has all the character and energy of SEGA’s arcade classic, and it comes locked and loaded with four stages: each gradually ramping up the challenge. We’ll give you all the information you need to dominate each stage and break every record!
Objective Overview
The name of the game is to collect food, deliver food, and enhance your score with some sick tricks. All the while, you will need to avoid the deadly oncoming traffic.As you progress through the stages, there will be more deliveries to be made, more obstacles to overcome, and the time will get tighter.Thankfully, you have a few helpful tools to assist you in your deliveries.
While it is not necessary to deliver food to every customer on the map in order to get the S-Rank, if you do manage to serve them all, you get amassivebonus.
How To Effectively Utilize The Trick System
Crazy Delivery’s trick system is relatively simple.If you press forward and the trick button, you will perform a front flip, back and the trick button will give you a backflip, and left or right with the trick button will give you a sideways spin.
The important thing to note about both the backflip and the frontflip is thatyou can control the flip momentum by pressing forward and backward while performing them.However, if you overdo it, and you don’t land cleanly, youwillcrash (losing precious food in the process). You will want to use the flip specials to get the food levitating high above you. You will also use these tricks to escape certain attacks.
While you are invincible to traffic, the other obstacles can still remove you forcibly from your bike.
You are invincible to cars when performing a trick.Meaning that colliding with a car will cause it to bounce off of you. Your objective is to hit three tricks before making each delivery so that you can maximize how many points you earn.
Additionally,if you tap the break button while holding the stick to the side, you will perform a slide. If you have performed three tricks when you do this, you will perform a power slide.The power slide is, itself, a trick! That means it will take out cars and rack up points. There is oneparticularlypowerful trick that will help you greatly: popping a wheelie. But we’ll cover that trick in its own section…
The Importance Of Popping A Wheelie
As we said earlier, you may hold forward and backward while performing a flip trick to influence the flip. Well, if you make it so that you land on your back wheel, you will pop a wheelie. This counts as a trick. As you ride around in this state you will constantly rack up points. But, most importantly,since this counts as a trick, you are completely invincible to traffic while you are popping a wheelie.That being said, the other obstacle types are still capable of stopping you.
This doesn’t mean you will want toexclusivelypop a wheelie. It takes a while to get your trick score up to “extreme”, which is where you want to be before you deliver food.So, if you are relatively close to your next delivery, you are better off performing three tricks in quick succession.
If you break in mid-air, your trickwillslow down. This is useful for when you are mid-flip and approaching a delivery. Hold that break button down and you will land right on ‘em.
Boosts And How To Manage Them Effectively
As you perform tricks, you will build up a boost.Once you use a boost, you will speed up considerably, your score multiplier will be maxed out, all the food will be vacuumed up as you drive by, and you will become invincible.This is like a more powerful version of popping a wheelie. Youshouldbe able to getat leasttwo deliveries completed with one boost. It is best to save these for straight stretches, as it can be a little hard to control your bike at the boost speed.
However,the last thing you want to do is have three boosts and not use them. That means every trick you do is no longer building towardsanotherboost.Use them when you have them; just make sure you have a straight line towards multiple deliveries.
The Importance Of Shortcuts
There are two shortcuts.There is one that is on the southwest corner of the map.This will take you directly to the beach.There isanothershortcut one street over, on the middle street.This one will take you to the street that runsparallelwith the beach.
This does mean that it is relatively easy to hop from one shortcut to the other.These aren’t just useful for hopping over to a another section, they also provide you with a pretty huge money boost.You’ll want to plan your route around these, as they will help fill your pockets.
There is an action prompt associated with these. However, the prompt isalwaysmashing the trick button.This applies to both shortcuts.
Pickups And What They Do
We’ll keep this brief as the game does a pretty good job describing these pickups…

Obstacles
Light Traffic
The first stage is a good place to get used to the track. Your only obstacle is traffic, and there isn’t much of it. You actually have more than enough time to just peddle around gathering food and missing the first few deliveries.Get used to doing your three tricks per delivery now. Similarly, master that wheelie trick.This is the perfect stage to practice that stuff on.
As long as you manage to use your tricks effectively, and don’t crash needlessly, you should pretty easily sail to that S-Rank.

Moderate Traffic, Sledgehammer Slammer, Fire Breather, Hose Sprayer
The Normal difficulty will increase the amount of traffic, but only by a hair. It will start to place the food in the air, which means you are going to need to time your flips to get it all. Beyond that, you start to see the different obstacle types, but they are spread out pretty thinly, so they are pretty easy to avoid.There is a Fire Breather in the center of the map, a Hose Sprayer on the top street, and a few Sledgehammer Slammers sprinkled throughout.
The topmost street is lined with people who want sushi. The road that runs up the right side is lined with sushi, so, you will probably want to approach the top from the right side.

Heavy Traffic, Sledgehammer Slammers, Hose Sprayers, Fire Breathers
The northwest corner of this map is just filled with Sledgehammer Slammers, and the center street is lined with Fire Breathers. You are going to need to be flipping constantly.Thankfully, you may use the food trails as a guide, as they will typically arch over these obstacles, giving you a pretty clean indication of when you need to jump to avoid obstacles.
The street running alongside the beach exclusively features traffic as an obstacle. The other two streets have Fire Breathers on the left side, and Sledgehammer Slammers on the right.The road that runs up the left side will have a Hose Sprayer, and the road running up the right side has Sledgehammer Slammers.

Extremely Heavy Traffic, Sledgehammer Slammers, Fire Breathers, Hose Sprayers
Well, this is the final, most lucrative stage, and it is naturally packed with obstacles.Every street is lined with Fire Breathers and Sledgehammer Slammers, with the trails of food humping over each. There are also an army of Hose Sprayers running up the center street, so watch out for them.
You will be flipping over each hazard as you progress along each street.There is no real trick here (aside from using your boosts to blow past them), you just need to time your jumps well.If you use the food trail as your guide, youshouldbe golden. Unsurprisingly, this stage is pretty difficult, but as you tighten your approach, and stick to the food trail, you will obtain that S-Rank!
