Go beyond the race course

Race from one course to another through interconnected paths that span the world. Traverse mountains, forests, cities, and more—with shifting weather patterns and a day/night cycle. Everything is connected!

Grand Prix

Compete to earn the most points across four connected courses. Try to claim the top spot among 24 racers!

Battle

Hop into a match of Balloon Battle or Coin Runners for even more mayhem.

Free Roam

Explore courses at your own pace and wander the world to discover fun surprises.
