Ah, South Park Rally, one of the many mediocre attempts to cash in on the success of Mario Kart 64. Not a great or even particularly good game by any means, but not totally worthless.

Anyway, the game's Thanksgiving Day race requires players to collect 20 turkeys scattered around the map and then be the first racer to ring the bell, but by actually doing the exact opposite of this you'll find yourself gifted a neat reward.

By collecting not a single turkey for the duration of the race, when a CPU opponent wins the race you'll unlock fan favourite character Starvin' Marvin.

Ironically it's actually quite easy to collect a turkey on purpose, so you're best off holing up in the level's barn, which the turkeys stay out of.
