The tracks also contain many different objects and features that racers can interact with. Below is a list of objects and features that appear on the track.
Item barrels[edit]
The item barrels appear on every single track and will give the racer that passes through one an item. The item barrels usually appear in a pair of two or more barrels in a row. There are also some hidden barrels that racers can find by using shortcuts. Some barrels will also only give one specific item every time a racer passes through it. The items will disappear momentarily once a racer passes through it but it will appear a couple seconds later. This does not apply to barrels that are activated by levers.
Speed boosts[edit]
Each track contains several speed boosts. The speed boosts are blue and are also called blue pixie dust. Some are in plain view, while others are hidden down branching paths and behind breakable objects. Racers can race through these glowing blue trails to get an extra boost of speed and an edge on the competition.
Jumps[edit]
There are certain areas of the track that racers can simply not reach by jumping regularly. The purple pixie dust will hep these racers reach that certain area of the track. The racer must simply drive to the purple pixie dust and the dust will carry them to that part of the track.
Switches[edit]
Some tracks contain levers that will reveal shortcuts, activate traps, and expose item barrels. Some levers are in plain view, while others are hidden and obscure. Racers must simply drive over the lever to activate it. Some of the switches however don't activate shortcuts, they activate traps to stop the other contestants from getting through.
Mirror Mode[edit]
In Mirror Mode, all the tracks are reversed. Mirror Mode can be unlocked by completing Tournament Mode.
