RaceRace against opponents in order to be the first player that reaches the finish line. Weapons do no damage but do hinder opponents.

StyleA sandbox mode where players can carry out maneuvers in order to obtain style points. The longer and more complex the maneuver, the greater the number of points and the multiplier. If a maneuver ends abruptly because a player crashes into a wall or needs to reset, all points currently being gained for that maneuver will be lost. The team with the highest style score within the allotted time wins.

DeathmatchThe primary goal in Deathmatch is to kill players from other teams as often as you can within the allotted time. If you are killed, you will respawn at a random location on the map and continue playing. The winner is the team with the most number of kills.

Heat Seeking MissileYour most potent weapon, the AR-49 is extremely effective at locking on and chasing down targets, while dealing devastating damage.

TurretsSmall but quick, the RPL-4 turret is fully automatic and regains ammo quickly. It is useful for attacking opponents from a distance when they may not be aware of your location.

Smoke GrenadeUse these to either avoid chasing opponents or obstruct their vision while competing in a race.

Explosive SpikesIn addition to obstructing the path of opponents, and dealing damage to them, they are also quite useful in defending against heat seeking missiles since they act as flares.
