'''[[wp:Nitrous|Nitrous]]''', short for '''nitrous oxide''' (N2O) and sometimes abbreviated as '''nitro''', is used to boost the speed and acceleration of a vehicle in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]] and [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]]. | '''[[wp:Nitrous|Nitrous]]''', short for '''nitrous oxide''' (N2O) and sometimes abbreviated as '''nitro''', is used to boost the speed and acceleration of a vehicle in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]] and [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]]. | ||

In The Ballad of Gay Tony, nitrous is limited to use in [[Triathlon (TBOGT)|Triathlon]]s and multiplayer [[race]]s, although the boost can be controlled. Much like in ''[[wp:Need for Speed|Need for Speed]]'' and other similar games, a small tank-shaped bar next to the radar will show the amount of nitrous available, which will regenerate in time. Motorcycles in Race and GTA Race multiplayer modes are also equipped with nitrous, but are often very risky to use as collisions while riding a nitrous-boasted bike are potentially fatal. Even vehicles like the [[APC]] may also be equipped with nitrous in such races. | |||
When nitrous is ready, a high-pitched humming noise can be heard from the car, along with small orange fumes from the exhaust pipes. Unlike in GTA San Andreas, the nitrous in TBOGT can instantly catapult a vehicle to its top speed (or close to it), and the dramatic boast in speed may be shocking if the player's vehicle is traveling at a lower speed. | When nitrous is ready, a high-pitched humming noise can be heard from the car, along with small orange fumes from the exhaust pipes.
