Billboards

From Burnopedia, the Burnout wiki

The Nakamura Racing SI-7 smashing through a Paradise Billboard.

Billboards make their first appearance in Paradise City and are Discoveries that lead towards Burnout Paradise game completion. There are 165 billboards total between the mainland Paradise Billboards and the Big Surf Island Billboards.

However finding the billboard is only part of the challenge. Many of the Billboards are placed in awkward positions which lead you having to figure out how to smash though it which usually requires exploration of the surrounding area to find a suitable building or ramp to jump from. A good example would be the one hanging above Franke Avenue near Paradise Square where you actually have to drive up the Car Park on Fry Avenue. Once at the top you have to drive off a ramp on top of the Paradise Trust Bank to the DJR Sports Store and off the back roof which leads into the Billboard.

When a new Billboard has been successfully smashed through its debris will be scattered over the road. However when you return it will be rebuild albeit with some holes revealing bare wood. This is to help the player tell which Billboards they've already collected along side the game keeping track of the number of billboards you have smashed through individually according to the districts within Burnout Paradise and the Island. This can help when trying to track down the last one or two billboards limiting the search area to a single district rather than the entire map. To check how many Billboards you've collected in a certain district simply pause the game and scroll down to Discoveries, where it'll be listed on the right along with Smashes and Super Jumps for each district.

[edit] Notes

Old billboard (left) and New billboard (right).
  • If a billboard is smashed while in its broken state it will disappear for a short amount of time. The billboard will return if the player leaves the immediate vicinity and then returns to where it is located.
  • Before Burnout Paradise's Free February Update billboards in Paradise City were a picture of the Burnout Logo in front of an explosion but after the update they were changed to the Burnout Paradise Logo on a flat red background. These new billboards pulsate making them much easier to spot from a distance, especially at night or in heavy fog.
