- Time Trial. Racing, in which it is necessary to drive the track in the allotted time, in order to open access to the reverse, mirror and mirror-reverse tracks.
- Practice. Allows you to go on the slopes already free and check the characteristics of the cars. But in this mode, you need to collect the stars to open new cars.
- Stunt Arena. Here you need to collect all 20 stars to unlock the next mode.
- Clockwork Carnage. In this mode, you will need to drive on one mini-typewriter of 30 mini-cars and come to the finish line first.
Weapons
- Lightning trap. Lightning appears on the track (game symbol), similar to the standard bonus. When driving a zipper, a car will explode.
- Star. When activated, all cars stop, except for the one who activated the star.
- Shock wave Blue balls of electric shots throw a car on their way into the air.
- Rocket. It fires one rocket after the target, until it hits the landscape element or the car.
- A bunch of rockets. Pack of three rockets. The principle of operation is the same as that of a conventional rocket.
- Bomb. When a bomb is picked up, the car's antenna starts to burn like a fuse. When the wick burns to the end, the car will explode. But you can get rid of the bomb - catch up with the opponent’s car and touch it, now the opponent’s car itself becomes the bomb.
- Water balls. The same principle as with a bunch of rockets, but instead of rockets 3 water balls.
- Electricity. The current fills the space around the car. When another car drives close enough, it is hit by a discharge of current, after which the opponent stops temporarily.
- Oil stain. The car reserves an oil puddle. A car driving through this pool loses control.
- Steel ball. A heavy steel ball rolls out of the car and becomes an obstacle to the rival's cars.
- Battery. Gives the car a temporary increase in speed. However, the car is harder to drive.

Easy
- Street Race 1: Residential Area. The longest track in the game (747 m.) And the very first.
