In Championship mode, after selecting your choice of driver, the game offers a choice of easy, hard, crazy or external (add-on packs) tracks. there are four tracks in each set and you must win on each track, racing against the often three computer controlled contestants, to progress to the next track. Winning a race in Championship mode also unlocks the next track in Quick Race and Time Attack modes, so there is a dual incentive to win.

A race consists of four laps of the chosen circuit with the computer players always occupying the front three positions on the starting grid. Tracks vary in complexity, with objects and hazards to avoid, coins to collect to increase your speed, bonus boxes and, of course, the other drivers to keep you busy; you can also fall off the edge in some races!

Quick Race mode permits you to select any of the unlocked tracks (see Championship mode above) and enjoy a… quick race! Still competing with the other drivers, you can concentrate on just the one track to hone your skills for the Championship.

Time Attack is a simple race against the clock with no other drivers on track, highest lap times are recorded against each track.

The four racers - Franck (Frankenstein), Banana, Foxy and Bert (a shark!) - all have slightly different attributes which change their suitability for different track types (tarmac, snow, sand, etc.); it’s hard to say exactly what, but you soon discover which seems more suited to which track type. The program has excellent 3D cartoon artwork for various cutaway screens, the sound/music is just right and the graphics are simply wonderful.
