Quick Play and Ranked
Quick Play is the casual online entry point. Ranked is the competitive queue when you want results and leaderboards to matter.
Tournaments
The sequel adds high-stakes 64-player elimination tournaments. This is the large-bracket mode rather than an eight-player lobby.
Playground
Playground holds the experimental, rule-bending variants. Choose it when standard elimination racing is not the goal.
Local, custom, and campaign
The official Steam listing includes local multiplayer and custom games. Campaign continues the story in New Rush City and adds boss encounters alongside racing.
The core race rule
All modes build on the same high-speed foundation: stay inside the shrinking visible race area. Fall too far behind and the ring of fire eliminates you until one runner remains.
