Players choose from a roster of anti-gravity pilots and race through twisting circuits packed with boosts, jumps, hazards, and sharp corners. The game uses an angled overhead perspective, and each vehicle has an energy meter that acts as both health and crash buffer. Colliding with rivals or walls drains energy, so clean racing lines are essential. Progression is centered on single-player Grand Prix events, where finishing position and remaining energy determine advancement.
