More maps
Start with a new city, select any landscape, and wait at least ten seconds. Enter the total screen. Exit the total screen, enter the save/load menu, then select the "No" option. Return to the main menu, select the "Start New City" option, and the landscape will change. This effectively doubles the amount of maps.
Easy money
Start a new city. Build a power plant, 8 residential zones, 4 commercial zones, 4 industrial zones, and (preferably) a police department. You can build more than that if desired, but keep your city small so the game will not slow down as a result of having a large number of buildings). Leave the game running overnight, then check the game. You should have a lot of money and many years should have passed. You will also have the fountain, which raises land values.
When you first start a new game, waste all your money by building all houses, airports, etc. (until you have $00.00 remaining) or until you cannot build anything else (even by destroying buildings). Then in December when the first tax chart appears, hold [L] + [R] while setting all the police, fire departments, etc. to as high as possible. Then, finish and release [L] + [R]. You should have an extremely large amount of money.

Hints
Bonus casinos and amusement parks
Choose a landscape that is not an island, but has a large amount of water. There should be a body of water towards the middle of the landscape. Create roads in a way to form a cross near the middle of the landscape, near the water. The roads must continue until reaching the edge of the map. Two to five casinos or amusement parks may now be built.
Getting different gifts
When you receive a house as a gift, place it near the Residential Zones or any other desired location. After the town grows into a city, then to a capital, metropolis, and megalopolis, your house will also grow with home extensions. The town stage house is a small house, which resembles an upside down "L". It also has a few bushes and trees in the front yard. The city stage house is a two level red house. It also has trees and bushes. The capital stage house is completely different. It turns gray and has two levels. It is also larger, has a patio table, a pool in the front yard, and a satellite dish. The metropolis stage house is also gray and seems to have something resembling another pool on the roof. It also still has trees and landscaping and is bordered by a fence.
Less airport pollution
Airports cause a lot of pollution because they are big. If you crash a plane just as it takes off (so that it lands on the airport it took off from), it will destroy most of the airport. However, as long as there is at least one square of airport remaining it will still function, but will cause a lot less pollution. As yet another benefit, you will get more space to build other things. It is highly recommended that you have a fire department nearby so you can get the fire extinguished before it destroys the entire airport. And as soon as the fire is out, put something else in the airport's area (such as park or road) so that the airport will not rebuild itself.
Benefits of an Airport/Seaport without Glitch: Unlimited gifts
In preparation for the trick you will need the following: two saved cities (one brand-new untouched city and the city you want the gifts for) and at least one free space in your Gift Reserve Icon (the icon that is the question mark). A city can only hold four gifts at one time. This trick will not work if your Gift Reserve is full. This trick actually allows you to steal gifts from one city and put them in the other. It will work for any Landmass including the Scenarios if the Scenario Landmass is the city you want to put the gift in. The following example allows unlimited Police Headquarters. This one is the easiest to do.
Glitch: Loans with no bank
Get the bank and place it anywhere. Wait a year, then destroy it. After you destroy it, you will still be able to take out loans from the bank option in the menu.

A city can only hold four gifts at one time. This trick will not work if your Gift Reserve is full. This trick actually allows you to steal gifts from one city and put them in the other. It will work for any Landmass including the Scenarios if the Scenario Landmass is the city you want to put the gift in. The following example allows unlimited Police Headquarters. This one is the easiest to do.
1. Load your brand new untouched city. Remember, you should have already started and saved a new city with nothing it.To get another Police Headquarters just repeat steps 4 to 12. You can do this an unlimited number of times.
2. Build a line of six Police Stations. This is the required number to get the "Gift Police Headquarters".
3. Save the game immediately. Do not wait until you get the "Gift Police Station" because it will cause the trick to fail.
4. Load the brand new untouched city with the six Police Stations that you just saved.
5. Once you have loaded the city the Police Stations will be sitting there flashing the "No-Power" message. As soon as they start flashing, count five consecutive No-Power flashes. This is required to get the correct timing for the trick to work.
6. Once the fifth No-Power flash is counted, select the Information Icon at the top of the screen. This is the icon in between the Disasters and the Save/Load Icons.
7. Once the Information Icon opens up, select the Map Icon.
8. Now that you are in the Map Screen, you will still be able to see some of the Police Stations. The others will naturally be behind the map. You will need to be able to see at least one Police Station for this step. Just as in step 5, count five No-Power Flashes for timing.
9. Once you have counted five flashes, exit the Map Option screen, but do not exit the Information Option screen.
10. Click on the Save/Load Icon.
11. Load your other city (that you want the gift for).
12. Exit the Save/Load Screen and you should instantly receive the Gift of Police Headquarters.
