Summary
Similarly to other mascot kart-racing games, such as Mario Kart 64 and Crash Team Racing, the game involves Woody and eight other characters racing on sixteen race-tracks inspired by real world locations, like Las Vegas and Japan. The game features four modes: a single-player Quest mode, score-based World Championship mode, time-trial mode, and single-race mode. Players can choose from four vehicles, including: jalopies, all-terrain vehicles, stock cars, and racers.[4]
