Characters
Motos
This bumper car is the protagonist of the game. Its only goal is to bump every enemy off the edges of one playfield in order to proceed to the next.
Power and Jump Parts
These can be found on some of the playfields. When you collect one, it will be displayed at the bottom-left corner of the screen; Power Parts (left) will give Motos extra bumping power, and up to seven of them can be used at the start of a round. However, Jump Parts (right) will give Motos the ability to jump over the gaps in some of the playfields, along with the ability to crack and destroy their tiles when it lands upon them - but only one of them can be used at the start of a round. (If Motos takes too long over any round, projectiles will come flying towards the tiles and destroy them).
