Enemies

Enemies in the Smashy Road series are law enforcement vehicles attempting to pursue and arrest the player. Depending on the game, when the player vehicle is too close to an enemy for too long, the game ends and an “ARRESTED” screen is given. The game also ends when the player vehicle takes too much damage or falls into water (Death of falling into water does not apply to Smashy Road: Wanted 2, where a character can escape water, but can be Debugged).

Enemies in Smashy Road: Wanted[]

Police Cars[]

Police Cars have black and white paint jobs, like typical American police cars, and have flashing red and blue lights on their roof. At Wanted Level 1 (a score of 0-30), two Police Cars will chase the player, and at Wanted Level 2 (score of 30-80), four will chase the player while others set up roadblocks and become obstacles at different points of the roads.

Police Cars have top speeds higher than most Vehicles but they can be easily evaded. Police Cars are very weak in terms of durability; they can be destroyed easily by letting them strongly run and crash into each other, other vehicles, obstacles, or into the player's rear. (a.e. you brake checking or "skimming" (trading paint at a high speed)).

Destroying a Police Car gives 30 points to the player.

Police Helicopter[]

The Police Helicopter is impossible to destroy as it follows and flies above the player. It accompanies the Police Cars at Wanted Level 2 and will smarten other Enemies in finding or following the player.

SWAT Hummers[]

SWAT hummers are large black police variants of the playable 4x4. Red and blue flashing police lights scattered all over the exterior of the vehicle and it's based on the Hummer H2. They can sometimes drive over one if they are stuck.

SWAT hummers are much tougher than Police Cars, but are still one of the easiest Vehicles to destroy in the game. SWAT hummers aren't quite fast and can be easily be evaded coupled by the wide turns they make. They will appear at Wanted Level 3 as they pursue the player, set up roadblocks, and become obstacles .

Once one is destroyed, 60 points are awarded to the player.

National Guard Hummers[]

Like the SWAT hummers, national guard Hummers are also variants of the 4x4. It has a beige military paint job and spotlights on top of the window.

National guard Hummers are harder to destroy than a SWAT Hummers with a slightly better top speed. Like the SWAT Hummers, they can also make wide turns. They appear Wanted Level 5 as they pursue the player, set up roadblocks, and become road obstacles.

Destroying one of them gives 100 points.

Military Helicopter[]

The Military Helicopter replaces the Police Helicopter, and like it, one cannot destroy it. It appears at Wanted Level 5. This helicopter is merely decorative over the Police Helicopter assuming it is based on the AH-64 Apache. The Military Helicopter will not actually shoot the player, despite being armed with machine guns and missiles.

Tank[]

Tanks are nearly indestructible as they are the strongest enemy and are the hardest known Vehicle to destroy in the game. They have a woodland camouflage military paint scheme and a cannon on top.

Tanks shoot tank shells out of the main front cannon, and shoot them towards the player. They have nearly have the same speed of the SWAT and National Guard Humvees. They appear at Wanted Level 6, the final Wanted Level.

While other Enemies can be flipped, Tanks cannot be flipped easily by the Flipper's scooper blade. The Tank Destroyer can destroy most enemies in one single charge, making it easy for the player when playing as this car to destroy Tanks. Theoretically, one can also destroy a tank by misleading them into water or flipping them at high speeds. When they are destroyed, it is similar to the way other Vehicles are destroyed, aside from the fact that they will not incinerate and can continue to fire their cannons until they despawn a few seconds later. Even after “despawning,” they are still there, but invisible and still firing shots. You can drive through them, and they always shoot in the last direction before they entered this state.

Enemies in Smashy Road: Arena[]

Enemies are changed in Smashy Road: Arena.

The artificial intelligence for all enemy vehicles are overall much smarter and challenging to compete with.
New enemies are introduced. These include the federal law enforcement level of enemies and federal agents, and soldiers on foot.
Enemies can no longer be destroyed except for when they fall in water (or lava) Shooting them with weapons will also not kill them (but it will affect them depending on the weapon). When flipped over, enemy vehicles will eventually flip themselves over.
Some vehicles are changed visually.

1st Wanted Level:[]

Police car - Visually unchanged. Speed appears to be faster, however. Also note if you look closely, the lightbar has actual light effects.

2nd Wanted Level:[]

Helicopter - Unchanged. It looks the same and follows (but does not affect) the player. They cannot be targeted by weapons.

3rd Wanted Level (SWAT):[]

SWAT Humvee - has the same design but with a decal that says ''SWAT'' on it . Otherwise it is unchanged. SWAT Humvee ELS (emergency lighting system) is non-functional.

4th Wanted level (FBI):[]

These are the new enemies introduced in the Smashy Road Series. All vehicles are painted dark navy blue with a gold "FBI" decal visible. The FBI are quite challenging. Their FBI vehicles are quite fast (FBI Truck is a little slower than the FBI Car) and tough. Their AIs are much smarter than Police and SWAT enemies.

The FBI Car (removed) - Same body type as the Police Car but with the standard FBI paint job. It has an ''FBI'' decal on top of the car along with a red light strobe on the side of the roof.
The FBI Truck - A new body type resembling Cadillac Gage Ranger. It has an FBI decal.
FBI Helicopter - Comes every now and then. FBI agents are seen rappeling from the helicopter. They cannot be targeted by weapons. Unlike the police helicopter, they will not follow the player. Once they drop FBI agents, they leave.
[EXISTANCE UNCONFIRMED] FBI Helicopter (old) (removed) - This version of the FBI Helicopter is only slightly larger than the other one and acts like a police helicopter. There is a rope that VERY LARGE FBI agents are lowered down on, but disappear when they hit the ground. (It would be appreciated if someone could confirm the existence of this vehicle).
FBI Agents - Wears navy blue jackets that says ''FBI'' (in gold) on it and navy blue hats. Shoots bullets in a short range that damage player health. Unlike other enemies, they are completely stationary and untargetable by weapons. They cannot be moved unless they are rammed. Do note that as with other enemies, they are invulnerable.

5th Wanted Level (National Guard):[]

National Guard Humvees - Besides the improved AI, National Guard Humvees are still the same.

6th Wanted Level (National Guard):[]

National Guard Helicopter (transport) - The first of the two national guarf helicopters. It resembles a Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk in the standard army beige camouflage. Like the FBI helicopter, it acts as a transport, having a squad of soldiers rappel from the vehicle.
Soldiers - Resembles a modern soldier in beige camouflage. Acts the same as FBI officers, shooting bullets. However, one or more soldiers are armed with a grenade launcher that causes area-of-effect explosive damage that could potentially flip the player's car.

7th Wanted Level (Army):[]

Tank- Very different from it's Smashy Road: Wanted incarnation, having a new design and AI. Instead of actively trying to ram the player, it now follows the player slowly and shoots when they are near. It's weapon is mostly the same, now firing in an arc (instead of through buildings and obstacles like in the previous game). While it is target-able, it cannot be flipped over and most weapons have little effect on it.

Bomber - A plane that drops a line of bombs at the player. It flies in a straight line across the map (usually in the player's predicted driving path), despawning once out of sight. As with most airborne enemies, they cannot be targeted or affected by the player.
National Guard Helicopter (Apache) - Resembles the old Smashy Road Army helicopter. In addition to following the player, it will now target a small area on the ground and launch several missiles at it. These missiles can cause serious damage, potentially instantly killing the player. It tends to target the player's predicted driving path (especially if the player is driving in a straight line). Untargetable.

Enemies in Smashy Road Wanted 2[]

In Smashy Road Wanted 2, the enemies are a lot different from the original Smashy Road. Here are a few of the most prominent differences:

Human NPCs: Five new types of human enemies are introduced in the game. The weakest of which is the civilian, while the strongest of which is the soldier.
SRI class: There is a new class of enemies in SRW2: the SRI. Coming in before the military at Wanted Level 5, they drive epic-tier vehicles and possess the second-hardest human NPC enemies in the game.
Beefed Military: The military stage (Wanted Level 7+) is generally a lot harder than previous games. A few key differences include the generation of random, highly damaging land mines on both the roads and off-road terrain, the tendency for some military jeeps to spawn with pesky and extremely deadly machine gun emplacements and the return of the bomber plane, Apache and Blackhawk helicopters from SR Arena.

Wanted Level 0:[]

Civilian: The easiest “enemy” in the game. Unlike everything else, they do not actively try to harm you. Instead, they drive around in their common-tier civilian cars (which can be hijacked) and can be seen walking on sidewalks. Flattening them will provide you with no points whatsoever, and they will always get back up, just like every other human NPC in the game. If you are close to them, they will not arrest you, or shoot you, making them a real nuisance if they are in your way. They will drive through anything in their path, including roadblocks. Civilians cars can be found parked on the edge of roads. Civilians will ignore roadblocks as well as obstacles causing them to damage vehicles. Civilians cars who find themselves near enemy units will slow down and stop.

Wanted Level 1:[]

Supply Helicopter: Unlike any other enemy in the game, this one will actually help you by flying overhead and dropping a supply crate that will break into a power-up. It is unobtainable and cannot be destroyed even with a military helicopter it has infinite health. Appears to be an extended version of SRI, SWAT, and police helicopters. Randomly spawns in a nearby area to the player, Although being an ally to the player, enemy units will not attempt to shoot down the helicopter.

Police Car: The easiest ACTUAL enemy in the game with blue and white decal. Usually not much of a disturbance for the player, these are the weakest enemy vehicles in the game, being destroyed in seconds by The Beast or Tank Destroyer. They spawn one Police Officer when the need arises for an arrest to be made. It a common-tier like all common cars. Police cars can be tricked into driving into obstacles due to their A.I. providing them with mediocre handling along with high speeds.Wanted Level: 1-2
Police Officer: More of a nuisance than an enemy, these little guys are basically cannon fodder. Keep in mind that their pistol still does damage to both vehicles and players and they can still arrest you.
Police Boat: In the event that the player hijacks a boat, Police Boats will pursue the player. These are even weaker than Police Cars, but make up for it with fast speeds. Police boats can glitch onto land.Wanted Level: 1-5
Rocket Trooper: In the event that a player takes control of the plane, soldiers with rocket launchers will spawn on the ground. They fire small, damaging missiles at the plane, and are the only real threat to players in the sky. Wanted Level: 1-10

Wanted Level 2:[]

Police SUV: A little more durable than the Police Car, the main non-cosmetic difference from its cousin is that it doesn't not spawn any Police Officers. It looks same as The Anonymous but its not same speed at all. Wanted Level: 2
Police Helicopter: An aerial vehicle that has no attack. Police helicopters will pursue players on foot, in boats, and players driving cars into hidden areas on the map. Police Helicopters do not pursue Players in Aerial Vehicles such as planes and helicopters. Wanted Level: 2
Roadblocks: This is the first time that roadblocks appear, spawns 3 police cars and barricades. Vehicles at Roadblocks can be stolen, providing an advantage to players.Wanted Level: 2

Wanted Level 3:[]

SWAT SUV: Unlike its predecessors in Smashy Road 1 and Smashy Road Arena, the infamous SWAT truck design, instead looking more like a hybrid truck/van(with a reskin). Unlike civilian cars and police vehicles, these are labelled as rare-tier vehicles. Doesn't not spawn an SWAT Soldier. It also same as Police SUV and Anonymous but it much faster than 2 cars. It commonly will be seen driving and attacking in groups, they can also be found in roadblocks allowing Players to steal them. They spawn during Wanted Levels 3-4
SWAT Officer: A little deadlier than the Police officer, these enemies are still not much of a threat to high-level players and vehicles. They fire a little faster than Police Officer and run faster, too. Some SWAT officers have their faces hidden by masks
SWAT Helicopter: Unlike the Police Helicopter, these helicopters hover close to the player and drop three SWAT Soldiers. They despawn immediately afterwards. Is black and has a white “S” on the side. SWAT helicopters can pursue players into empty areas. It spawns during Wanted Levels 3-5(had a reskin)
SWAT Van: An unmarked black van. It is more durable than the SWAT Truck and spawns three SWAT Soldiers when the rear doors open. If the rear doors are open, it is possible for the player to commandeer the vehicle. Rare-tier, like the SWAT SUVs. They spawn during Wanted Levels 3-5(now uses SRI van design)
Roadblocks: The police roadblocks are replaced with SWAT ones, with 2 SWAT SUVs and 1 SWAT Van. They spawn during Wanted Levels 3-5

Wanted Level 4:[]

Additional SWAT vehicles spawn

Wanted Level 5:[]

SRI Car: A fast and very annoying epic-tier vehicle used by the SRI. It is a sports car vehicle with golden “SRI” labels on the sides. Spawns one SRI Agent in case an arrest needs to be made. It's the fastest enemy car in the game. Similar to police cars and SWAT vehicles, players can trick these vehicles into running into obstacles. Wanted Level: 5-6
SRI Agent: The second deadliest human NPC in the game. SRI Agents are noticeably faster, being able to outrun Mystery and even certain Legendary-tier characters. They also fire a lot faster and spawn in large groups most of the time (SRI Helicopters and the copious amounts of SRI Cars in WL5 usually result in small armies of SRI Agents chasing the player).
SRI Helicopter: Just like the SWAT helicopter, the SRI helicopter drops 3 of its respective human enemies and despawns. It is navy blue and has the acronym “SRI” on the sides of it. Indestructible. Does not chase players in aerial vehicles, but can drop Agents into empty areas and sometimes water which causes them to glitch out, as they can end up being stuck in water and hit by boats.Wanted Level: 5-6
SRI Boat: In the event that the player hijacks a boat in Wanted Level 5-7, SRI Boats will pursue the player’s boat. Not only are SRI Boats more durable and even faster than Police Boats, but SRI boats have machine gun emplacements that can kill a swimming player in seconds. Groups of them can destroy the player’s boat. In the machine gun seat it sees that 1 Police Officer on the seat instead of SRI Agents. Wanted Level: 5-7

Wanted Level 6:[]

SRI Van: A more durable, yet slower version of the SRI car that spawns two SRI agents. Navy blue, with the SRI acronym emblazoned on the side in gold. And just like before, it sames that SWAT Van and Money Man and also epic-tier. Wanted Level: 6-7
At the same time, SWAT retires with the replacement of SRI.
Roadblocks: SWAT roadblocks are replaced with SRI ones, with 2 SRI Cars and 1 SRI Van. Wanted Level: 6-7

Wanted Level 7:[]

Landmine: The only trap in the game other than fuel trucks, these hard-to-avoid obstacles explode when any vehicle, be it the player’s vehicle, a police vehicle or a civilian vehicle, drives over one. Human NPCs and players on foot can also trigger them. The explosion deals heavy damage, sometimes reducing full health lower-tier cars to half health in an instant. They are also notorious for flipping vehicles over, forcing the player to abandon their vehicle to avoid arrest. Deep green, but with a red button. the button flashes red. Wanted Level: 7-9
Hummer: A tan, legendary-tier vehicle which is the fastest and second-most durable in the game. They do not spawn soldiers (more about them later), but some Hummers come affixed with pesky machine guns that can kill players in seconds. The aforementioned machine guns can also destroy even legendary-tier vehicles, as the vehicles that they are positioned on usually travel in groups. The best way to deal with these vehicles is to trick them into driving into water. They spawn during Wanted Levels 7-9.
Transport Helicopter: An untargetable and indestructible flying enemy that drops three Army Soldiers when in close proximity to the player. Army green, but with no camo patterns. Players can avoid them by escaping on boats or aerial vehicles.Wanted Level: 7-9
Army Soldier: The deadliest human NPC in the game, Soldiers can outrun all but a few characters, whittle down lives like paper, and spawn in massive groups. Coupled with the lethal support that they have, Army Soldiers are not to be trifled with. Wears body armor and a military helmet. Soldiers are far more accurate and can shoot more bullets.
Army Boat: The strongest boat in Smashy Road 2. It is similar to the SRI Boat in both armament and size, but is a lot more durable and a little faster. Drab green, with grey mechanics. Wanted Level: 7-10

Wanted Level 8:[]

Tank: Without a doubt, this is the strongest vehicle in terms of raw durability. It is very difficult to flip over and is nigh-indestructible. Tanks also boast a cannon that fire fast-moving projectiles that do significant damage to any vehicle they contact. They also explode, which can occasionally flip vehicles. Tanks are slow, so outrunning them should be relatively easy, even in a slow vehicle. Tanks are painted with green camouflage and have straight, long cannons with gray barrels. A tank can be unlocked in the Mystery tier by completing the "Keep That Tank" Mission. Tanks spawn during Wanted Levels 8-10
Helicopter: A flying, and a legendary-tier, indestructible enemy that appears along with the Transport Helicopter. Doesn't drop Army Soldiers, but sometimes fires a single homing missile at the player. These homing missiles are not that big of a deal to players on foot, as they only deal 1 heart of damage, but it could be the death knell of low-health/tier vehicles. It spawns in the grass,desert and black grass offroads. Helicopters can be found parked on the ground, however they can be destroyed, players that control them can destroy enemy vehicles while enemy aerial vehicles will not react.Wanted Level: 8-9
Roadblocks: SRI roadblocks are now replaced with military ones, with 2 army jeeps and 1 tank that doesn't fire. Wanted Level: 8-9

Wanted Level 9:[]

Bomber: When it comes to power, this enemy is the best. Every so often, a bomber plane will fly around, dropping a line of bombs that can easily end runs. Luckily, enemy vehicles are just as susceptible to the hellfire, so the player can use the bomber against their enemies. Wanted Level: 9

Wanted Level 10:[]

Alien Fighter: This is a flying ship that shoots plasma at your vehicle. These are very deadly to deal with on any types of aircraft, as it can be destroyed quite easily without power ups. Do note that they can't be destroyed. Wanted Level: 10
Alien Destroyer: This is an alien destroyer that can spawn 3-5 aliens, other than that, it can't be destroyed and can be able to destroy you. Wanted Level: 10
Alien: The strongest enemy in the game, it's armed with a plasma gun and can fire very quickly, this is also known to be the fastest enemy in the game. Unlike other enemies the alien is not based on Law Enforcement
Warper (citation): These will replace landmines on the road and will fling only the player's vehicle. Civilian and enemy vehicles are unaffected. These can be deadly as they can either fling your vehicle into water or can destroy your vehicle with fall damage. Wanted Level: 10

Trivia[]

Enemies are moderately smart, they may sometimes be easily brought into Oil Trucks and sent sky high, or run into water when the player's Vehicle drives into it, though they do have an ability to dodge most obstacles.
- When a player drives into the water, ground Enemies will follow them and directly drive into the water, too.
The original Smashy Road tank design can be seen on the trains and parked around the Army Base map in Smashy Road: Arena.
In earlier development stages of Arena, you could destroy law enforcement vehicles. This was removed for unknown reasons.
Civilian NPCs will try to get out of the way of your car in SR2.
Sometimes in Smashy Road: Wanted 2, Slot-Machine-unlockable Vehicles will spawn.
Even though drivers of Military Cars never leave their vehicles in Smashy Road: Wanted 2, those that are stationed in blockades are always unmanned, allowing the player to take them.
It is actually possible to attain a Tank as a Mystery Vehicle in Smashy Road: Wanted 2 by completing the "KEEP THAT TANK" main mission. It functions normally; even the cannon works!
The driver of the Police Truck never exits.
All Law Enforcers are immune to water.
