Soon, the championships start. When the player wins, everybody sees potential in the new racer.

Gameplay

Story Mode

In Story Mode, the player is able to create their custom Sim, and they'll be able to use their Sim in Quick Race mode after creating the Sim (but it's recommended to make sure the player's car is upgraded as well as possible before entering Quick Race against other CPU opponents before entering Quick Race). The player is tasked with driving around doing tasks for the residents, such as picking up slices of pizza that Chef Gino had apparently dropped on his way on the racetrack, obstacle races, races against 5 other NPCs, or races against the clock. Each task has a standard goal, and completing tasks more efficiently will reward the player with better medals like gold, silver, and bronze. If the player reaches the task's standard goals, the task giver car decoratives or new car parts asa reward. The player can design their car in various ways, such as adding a new paint job or adding new windows. New car parts will increase/decrease a car's stats. For example, a certain engine might give more top speed than another engine, but it might also have less weight than the other engine. However, before adding these new parts, the player must earn a type of currency called essences that can be collect as the player races on the track. This currency can be used to buy new parts and decoratives. As the player does more tasks and beats more rival racers, there will be more racers interested in joining the championships. After doing enough tasks and beating at least 2 or more rival racers, Rosalyn P. Marshall will be happy to host a new championship. Once the player wins the championships in at least the Top 3, the Star Level will go up.

Game Features

Base Vehicle Types

• Compacted - The compact class is zippier, handles great and accelerates nicely too. The downside is they are very light therefore against a bumping opponent they will tend to get pushed around a little more on the tracks.
• Mid-Size - The mid size vehicles are a step up in performance, weight and handling when compared to the compact class.
• Large - The large class consists of trucks, SUV’s and a van. The obvious differences are that these vehicles are very heavy and tend to bully opponents off the tracks. Their downsides are they tend to accelerate very slow and do not handle as well as the compact karts.

• Performance Upgrades – There are four categories in which the player can upgrade the kart's performance attributes:
  • Engine, which affects top speed and acceleration

Power-Ups

The game features a large array of Power-ups (similar to the "items" from Mario Kart) which can be used during races to hinder rivals. Here is the list of Power-ups that appear in the game, along with their effects:

• Melon Accelerator - The Melon Accelerator fires a watermelon that homes in on the closest opponent ahead and sends him into a wipeout upon impact.
• Pumpkin Catapult - This lobs a big pumpkin ahead of the player, creating an ultra-slippery puddle of goo that’ll make opponents spin out of control.
• Beehive Trail - A trail of hives full of honey are released behind the player's car and will slow down any opponent that drives into it.
• Soccer Balls - This allows the player to shoot up to three bouncing Soccer Balls. Any opponent hit by one of them will go into a wipeout.
• Bubble Dropper - Any car that collides with a bubble becomes trapped inside it, hovering in the air for several precious seconds as opponents zoom by.
• Seed Thrower - This will shoot out a seed that will turn into a fully-grown tree as soon as it hits the ground, creating a potential obstacle for opponents.
• Force Field - The Force Field surrounds the player's car with sturdy shields that keep them safe from most items for a short time.
• Tornado Inverter - This will turn the view of opponents ahead of the player upside-down for a limited time, making it harder for them to maneuver their vehicles.
• Bunny Luv - This power-up summons a cupid-like bunny to shower opponents ahead of the player with love, temporarily blocking their field of vision with a multitude of hearts.
• UFO - Using the UFO will allow the player to get a free ride as it zooms along the race track.
• F-Energy Zap - This will send out a burst of F-Energy, overloading the engines of opponents ahead of the player to temporarily reduce their speed and prevent them from boosting.
• F-Energy Storm - The boost meter fills with large amounts of F-Energy for a limited amount of time. Use it while it lasts!
