Hot Wheels Extreme Racing - Game Modes

Game Modes

Hot Wheel Extreme Racing features four game modes: Championship, Arcade, Time Trial and Multiplayer. In Championship mode you race against three other computer controlled cars in one of the available cups. There are three cups, easy, medium and hard. Each cup contains four stages. Points are give according to placement, and after all stages a winner is appointed. By winning a cup you can unlock hidden bonus items, such as new cars and more cups. You can choose from 8 different cars. 3 are available on start, the rest must be unlocked by completing tasks such as completing cups.

Acrace mode allows you to choose one of the available stages, and then race it against three other computer controlled cars. In time trial mode you race alone, and you must try to get the best time on each stage.

The game also supports a multiplayer mode that allows up to four players ro race against each other, using a multitap device. The multiplayer tracks are not the same as the single player tracks. There are a total of 12 multiplayer tracks.

The game was originally based on the Hot Wheels Mechanix car models, and the environments were playgrounds where kids had build imaginary raceways, such as a track modeled in a sandbox. However, in the middle of production the producers decided to change the target group and the whole game got a more mature look and feel. The cars were also changed to ordinary Hot Wheels cars, although the idea of cars transforming into different shapes was kept.

Famous quotes containing the words game and/or modes:

    Vanessa wanted to be a ballerina. Dad had such hopes for her.... Corin was the academically brilliant one, and a fencer of Olympic standard. Everything was expected of them, and they fulfilled all expectations. But I was the one of whom nothing was expected. I remember a game the three of us played. Vanessa was the President of the United States, Corin was the British Prime Minister—and I was the royal dog.
    Lynn Redgrave (b. 1943)

    Heaven is large, and affords space for all modes of love and fortitude. Why should we be busybodies and superserviceable?
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
