"Some never leave the ground and exist solely to plow through anything unlucky enough to be in the way. One machine refuses to turn unless you come to a complete stop and pivot it like a couch wedged in a stairwell with rockets glued to its cushions. You pick a ride, angle your landings, follow another racer's star trail for a boost."
"'s endless forward propulsion means half the race is happening before you can even consciously participate in it. You slam into enemies you didn't intend to hit, scoop up items you didn't know existed, and cross the finish line because your momentum got you there five seconds before your intentions did. The tracks don't present information so much as hurl it at you like a piñata detonating point-blank. Walls, enemies, items, other racers all fizz past faster than your brain can sort the"
The game pairs a candy-coated presentation with selectable characters, diverse vehicles, and numerous stat-boosting power-ups. Gameplay delivers immediate, joyful moments as characters zoom and perform exaggerated actions. Vehicles have wide mechanical variety, from flying machines to cumbersome, pivot-only rigs, encouraging different playstyles. Constant forward propulsion often carries players through races faster than conscious input, causing accidental collisions and unintended item pickups. Tracks bombard players with walls, enemies, items, and rivals at high speed, reducing information clarity and deliberate decision-making. The result is frequent delight tempered by a lack of sustained player agency and strategic depth.
