The game is not a traditional racing game in the sense the goal is not to finish first, but rather to finish before the timer ends. The player starts with 20 seconds in the "Time Bank". Each alternate path, or "leg", of the course has a predetermined expected time frame of completion. If players do not meet that time frame, the seconds from the Time Bank will subtract. However, if players finish the leg in under the expected time indicated, the seconds remaining from it will be added on to the Time Bank. If the Time Bank is fully depleted, the vehicle will automatically switch to neutral transmission and begin gradually slowing down as long as it is not angled downhill; if the vehicle stops with an empty time gauge, the game will end. | The game is not a traditional racing game in the sense the goal is not to finish first, but rather to finish before the timer ends.

Scattered throughout the course in groups of five are [[Hot Dot]]s: collecting eight of them will grant the vehicle an additional gear for a temporary 15 seconds that allows it to speed up to 300 km/h. | Scattered throughout the course, usually in groups of five, are [[Hot Dot]]s: collecting eight of them will grant the vehicle an additional gear for a temporary 15 seconds that allows it to speed up to 300 km/h. | ||
