Gameplay
Players could choose from one of four different types of vehicles. Each vehicle had its own characteristics, most notably its acceleration. A race consists of five laps, with the goal of winning a race. A player could continue racing as long as he or she was not in last place at the end of a lap.- Hazards: Most of the courses had hazards, including land mines, slip zones and magnets. Also, the side barriers were a danger. Hitting any of those hazards depleted a player's life bar partially. Additionally, when two vehicles collided, both player's life bars are depleted partially. If the player's life bar reaches zero, the car explodes and the game ends.
- Fuel: A player's life bar can be refueled by hovering over a refuel station, located throughout the course. Most of the time, the refuel station is located in the beginning of a track.
