Gameplay

Players race around a track against three opponents for a top position collecting rings and power-ups along the way. The Up direction on the directional pad can use rings collected on the track as a speed boost. Rings can also be lost due to collisions. Both buttons on the Game Gear are used, one for accelerating, and the other for braking.

Power-ups

Power-ups are scattered throughout each track, with a variety of abilities.

  • Springs: These all launch the player up into the air, increasing your speed.
  • Blue Monitor: Makes the player invincible for a short period of time. The BGM during invincibility is based on "Sonic - You Can Do Anything" from Sonic the Hedgehog CD.
  • Red Monitor: Speed Boost.
