FORCE MECHANICS

Master unique force mechanics to traverse the world and outpace the competition.

NON-LINEAR RACING

In arena races you don't have to follow a set path. Come up with your own route to finish a race, find shortcuts and collect all flags as fast as possible.

REWIND & RETRY

Sometimes things don't go as planned. Rewind your actions and give it another go. You can use this to practice difficult sections of a race.

RACE AGAINST GHOSTS

Select up to 3 ghosts and beat your friends in a head to head race.
