Race!

Starting a Race

Select A TrackThe sneak peek gives players an opportunity to race on 3 different race tracks. There is a training track, which allows you to race alone to work on your racing skills, then two race tracks, where you are pitted against three NPC racers.
To start racing, you will first need to go to your Garage and click the race button at the top of the screen. This will bring up the "Select A Track" screen, where you can pick between the training track or either race track. This screen also allows you to pick a difficulty should you decide to race on one of the two race tracks, however this option is not available for the training track. When you have picked the track you want to race on, click the "Race" or "Train" button.

How to Race

How to RaceRacing on the game utilizes either the keyboard or the mouse, whichever you prefer to use. For the keyboard, you would use the Up arrow to accelerate, Down arrow to brake, and the left and right arrows to steer. When racing with the mouse, you hold the left mouse button to accelerate and release it to decelerate. To steer, simply move your pointer in the direction you want the car to turn. Your car will always drive towards your pointer.
On the two race tracks, you also have power ups you can use if you need to gain the upper hand in a race. The NITRO BOOST power up gives you a temporary boost of speed, and can be triggered with the "A" key. The other power up, OIL CAN, leaves an oil splatter that can send a car spinning if they hit it, and is triggered by the "S" key.Power Ups

"See if you can handle the sharpest turns in Tailfin Pass!"
Twistin' Tailfin Track is the only race track of the three that requires you to first enter a race code before racing on the track. This track can be considered the hardest of the three, because of the number of turns, as well as the sharpness of the curves.

Page Semi-Started

I've started to slowly toss this page together bit by bit, piece by piece. I will continue to work on it and hope to have it done by week's end. Excuse the mess for now though, didn't quite have time to finish the entire thing. --Jack I 02:59, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Rough Draft of Page

I've finished up a rough draft of the page with all the rudimentary info needed on it, and will continue to work on it in the next few days. I'm hoping to make panoramas of each race track and add them via a link to each track in the "Racetracks" section of the page, as well as some other things.
