===Screen Info===
===Powerups and Obstacles===
* '''Number of players''': Located in the top left corner. It indicates the number of people playing. If there are two people playing, it will say P1 and P2 there.
* '''Red Bar''': Gives the player who picks it up extra points; these aren't too helpful, so you should not bother grabbing them unless they are in your way.
* '''Score''': Located to the right of the # of players. It show the score for the current player(s). If there are two people playing, the score will appear beside the P1 and P2 on the left.
* '''Wrench''': Gives the player who picks it up one point to use toward an upgrade; up to two of them can appear during a race, and the CPU-controlled cars will not go out of their way to get them, but you should, as long as it does not cost you the race. Upgrades can be administered between races.
* '''Level''': Located to the right of the score. It shows which track your on.
* '''Puddles''': Slows the player who passes through it down; if any CPU-controlled cars pass through them, you may have the chance to overtake them.
* '''Lap''': Located to the right of the level. It shows how many laps you’ve done.
* '''Oil Slicks''': Spins the player who passes through it out; if any CPU-controlled cars pass through them, you may have your chance to overtake them.  
There are five laps to each race. If there are two people playing, the current lap will appear at the same height as the P1 and P2 on the left.
* '''Pylon''': Slows the player who hits it down due to electroshock; if any CPU-controlled cars run into them, you may have the chance to overtake them.
 
* '''Tornado''': Spins the player who passes through it out, much like the aforementioned oil slicks; this obstacle can also move around the track as well.
==Stuff on the Track==
* '''Red Bar''': Gives you points. These aren’t too helpful. Don’t bother grabbing them unless they are in your way.
* '''Wrench''': Gives you one point to use toward an upgrade. Upto two of them can appear during a race. The drone cars won’t go out of their way to get them, but you should as long as it doesn’t cost you the race.
* '''Water''': Slows you down when you go through it.
* '''Oil''': Spins you out when you go through it.  
* '''Pylon''': Slows you down when you hit it.
* '''Tornado''': Spins you out when you go through it.  This obstacle will also move around the track as well.

* '''Super Traction''': Increases the grip of your tires. It’s hard to gauge the results of this upgrade but it seems to help you slightly when you going around turns. The Higher Top Speed upgrade will negate it somewhat.
