There are a total of 20 selectable characters from the film in the game (25 in the PS2 version), each with their own unique vehicle. The Wii version can only be played by the Wii Remote itself turned sideways, with or without the Wii Wheel, leveraging its motion controls to steer and perform stunt and car-fu moves analog control is not supported in that version as it does not allow external attachments that feature analog sticks. The Nintendo DS version is played entirely with d-pad and buttons, although the player can tap the touch screen to zoom in and out on a position meter that it displays. The PS2 version uses a standard control setup, in which an analog stick controls steering and buttons are used for pedals and car-fu moves.

If the player's car explodes, the player will respawn nearby however, the brief delay between the car exploding and re-spawning allows many other drivers to pass the player, causing a large dent in their ranking.Įach version of the game has its own unique control method. If this happens, the player must quickly repair their car, or else it will, in fact, explode. The player can distinguish the vehicle's health by the gauge on the HUD, but also the color of the jet at the rear of the vehicle: if it is bluish-white, the car is fine if it is red and smoking, it is severely damaged if the camera suddenly starts to zoom out, the car is about to explode.

Driving well (i.e., avoiding accidents) as well as car-fu rewards the player with a boost. Points can be earned by placing high during races, but also by performing stunts and, most commonly, bashing into and destroying other racers with the use of car acrobatics, called "car-fu" in the game.

The goal of the game is not only to win first place in each race, but also to have the most points by the end of the cup to win the competition. The game is a racing game similar to the F-Zero series, including tracks full of odd twists, turns and loops which are impossible by realistic standards, set in five vibrant, exotic locations (six in the PS2 version).
