Game variations 1 through 4 are the "Race Car" games. You control a car and steer it around an easy track (game 1 and 2) or a difficult track (game 3 and 4) known as Devil's Elbow, in an effort to score as many laps as quickly as possible. If you collide with your opponent, your directions are slightly adjusted beyond your control, and you will need to correct your orientation. If you drive off-course and into the barriers, you will continue driving, but your car will drive at the slowest speed. Get back on to the road as quickly as possible. Games 1 and 3 are a two player competition for the first player to complete 25 laps. Games 2 and 4 are a single player time trial mode to see how many laps you can complete in 60 seconds. | Game variations 1 through 4 are the "Race Car" games.

Game variations 5 through 8 are the "Crash n' Score" games. Your goal is to steer your car and cause it to crash into the white target square as much as possible. When you collide with the square, you are awarded one point, and the square temporarily disappears, only to reappear in a new random location. Two different courses are available, one with more barriers (game 5 and 6), and one that is more open (game 7 and 8). If you drive off on side of the screen, you will reappear on the opposite side. Avoid driving through the barriers or your car will travel at the slowest speed. Games 5 and 7 are a two player competition for the first player to capture the square for themselves 50 times. Games 6 and 8 are a single player time trial mode to see how many squares you can catch in 60 seconds. | Game variations 5 through 8 are the "Crash n' Score" games.

Game variations 9 and 10 are the "Tag" games. Tag is a two-player only game, and can not truly be played by only one player. Each player controls their car as they drive throughout each course. Two different courses are available, one with more barriers (game 9), and one that is more open (game 10). One player's car is IT, indicated by the fact that his or her car is blinking. The non-blinking car must stay away from the blinking car for as long as possible. If the blinking car is able to tag the non-blinking car, the driver of the non-blinking car becomes IT, and the roles of each player will switch. For every second that pass, the non-blinking car earns one point. The first player to achieve a score of 99 points wins the game. | Game variations 9 and 10 are the "Tag" games.
