Boost energy is also collected by slipstreaming rivals. The game has several game modes: Grand Prix, Single Race, Time Trial, Online and Local Wireless. Single Race mode itself has four game modes: Arcade (ordinary races), Cops and Robbers (where cops try to catch robbers and robbers try to get away with money), Drive Or Explode (driving at maximum speed in order to stay alive while overtaking rivals) and Barrel Barrage (trying to eliminate rivals with explosive barrels and stay alive). The game has three difficulty options: Normal, Hard and Expert. The game has 4 locations with 5 tracks in each location, making the total number of tracks 20. The game has 8 characters, with each having 4 cars with different specifications. After winning races, players are awarded with money. Players can spend money to customise their characters or vehicles, however, customisation options are purely cosmetic and don't affect cars' stats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eThe game has a distinguishable low-polygon artstyle that is reminiscent of early 90s arcade racers. Each character represents a certain nationality: for example, Keiko is Japanese, Viktor is Russian, etc.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e*** Data by \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mobygames.com\/\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMobyGames.com\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e ***\u003c\/h3\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstyle\u003e.embed-container { position: relative;
