+*Once you have entered the Greenwood, or sometimes reached Jefferson, abandoning it and going away a distance of atleast 300 metres from the car will cause the mission to fail as Smoke will take control of the Greenwood and speed away, with the mission failure message reading "You sure you're down for the 'hood?".
-It is possible to unlock the entire map for head-up display view during the mission. Instead of entering in Sweet's Greenwood, one can traverse the locked areas beforehand without police attention, as the wanted level is programmed only to be attained after the drive-by at Glen Park. This also allows for all collectibles to be obtained and the flying skill to be upgraded before entering the Greenwood, as some of the [[Snapshots]] and [[Horseshoes]] are located at a high altitude or in a locked area and will require aircraft. However, two Horseshoes, one on top of a hoarding east of the market in Pilgrim, and another on top of the towered structure in [[Come-A-Lot]] which faces [[The Four Dragons Casino]], are a huge gamble. Any major loss of health or an on-platform aircraft, especially in the latter case, will result in death and failure of the mission.
+*Once the drive-bys are over, a [[Wanted Level in GTA III Era #Two stars|2-star wanted level]] is attained, and cannot be reduced by any police bribes, meaning that the only option is to dash off quick to the [[Pay 'n' Spray]] in [[Idlewood]], but no amount of collateral damage will incur any police attention before you finish the drive-by at [[Glen Park]].
+*Hence, before entering the Greenwood at the start of the mission, it is possible to unlock the entire map of [[San Andreas in GTA III Era|San Andreas]] and also bag all collectibles to earn rewards. This process also allows the player to explore [[Flint County]], [[Whetstone]], [[San Fierro]], [[Tierra Robada]], [[Bone County]], [[Bayside]] and [[Las Venturas]] without risking police attention. Since a few [[Snapshots|collectibles in San Fierro]] and a few [[Horseshoes|collectibles in Las Venturas]] will require Carl to fly, this will also allow the player to increase flying skill considerably. Several useful weapons, especially a minigun, can also be collected early on in the game. However, the horseshoe atop the welcome sign of [[Come-A-Lot]] can be extremely risky to collect, though either maxing out health before starting the mission or carefully landing a copter on the sign without losing it to the ground can and will resolve the issue.
-Further, flying any aircraft in the vicinity of the [[Area 69|Restricted Area]] at a sufficiently low altitude will cause S.A.M. sites to open fire, and since the player is not at all equipped with parachutes at this stage, death will most likely follow suit unless proper forward momentum is maintained while escaping. However, much of this is otherwise easy.
+*During the above activity, it is also possible to perform all but one of the [[Unique Stunt Jumps in GTA San Andreas|unique stunt jumps]] across the state. The one which cannot be performed at this stage will be found at the [[Gant Bridge]], which remains locked till the game's intermission stages.
+*This is the first time that a [[Money|$]]500 cash reward is given to Carl upon completion of the mission. Prior to this, only a [[Money|$]]200 cash reward is given, that too in only two missions.
