Crash mode

While the names of crash zones are identical to the retail release, the order is slightly different and most zones were swapped around.
The table below details which retail zone each beta zone corresponds to.

# Beta # Retail
1 Down Hill Demolition 1 Down Hill Demolition
2 Out of Control Tower 4 Pacific Peril
3 Coastal Crush 7 Sandstorm Shredder[1]
4 Pacific Peril 13 Avalanche
5 Rattlesnake Row 3 Out of Control Tower
6 Dip Disaster 5 Rattlesnake Row
7 Sandstorm Shredder 9 Freeway Fury[2]
8 Freeway Fury 10 Hairpin Havoc
9 Ridge Riot 8 Ridge Riot
10 Avalanche 6 Dip Disaster
11 Late Arrival 2 Coastal Crush
12 Glass Canyon 14 Dam Buster
13 Hairpin Havoc 15 Ballistic Beach
14 Dam Buster 11 Late Arrival[3]
15 Ballistic Beach 12 Glass Canyon

[1]: While the zone is identical, it is played in reverse compared to the retail release (start and finish were swapped around).
[2]: This zone starts on a previous stretch of highway compared to the retail release (its finish is located where the retail zone starts).
[3]: The car hovers over the ground then slowly sinks under the map, making this zone unplayable.
