Course layout
Racers start out on the main Ornament Valley road, and then drive straight into the Rustbucket Tunnels. There are many twists and turns throughout the first tunnel, and once out, the racers will have a short distance before entering the second one. After a few long turns, the competitors exit, and drive downhill, around a few curves, and back to the finish line.
In the PC version of the game, when in the tunnels, the graphics will be displayed in "night vision", with a green tint. However, this feature is not present in the arcade mode.
The player controls Lightning, whose opponents include Doc, Ramone, Gudmund, and Snot Rod.
