Magic Game

Start by selecting your game mode. Do you want a fun, Arcade-style game or do you want realistic physics? Next, select from a single race of 1 to 20 laps, a time trial where you try to beat the challenge time, championship mode where you race on a series of tracks, practice, and the stunt arena where you get to show off your skills and try to find the 20 hidden stars so you can unlock one of the many secrets in this game. 

There are 28 cars to choose from, each with its own strengths and weaknesses, although only the rookie cars are available at first. You must unlock the others by winning cups in championship mode and completing various tasks. 

Once you have your car selected, you can choose an environment to race in. Check out a toy store, museum, supermarket or botanical garden after closing, race around the neighborhood, or wander around a ghost town. While each area has a track, you can go off it and explore your surroundings. You may find a way to shave time off the race or you may find disaster. 

While you're racing you can pick up a variety of power-ups to help you knock the other cars out of contention. There are fireworks to shoot at them, oil slicks to leave behind, turbo batteries to increase your speed, and secret stars which unlock more hidden mysteries. You might even find some reversed or mirrored tracks.
