Pick your fight

Arena

Last rider standing. Box them in, throw discs, grab power-ups. First to five rounds takes it.

Race

First across the line. Jumps, corkscrews and your own ribbon to block the pack behind you.

Classic 1982

The original grid. Permanent walls, no power-ups, pure reflexes.

13 maps · 2 cities · 1 wasteland

Ride everywhere

Every map has its own shape and its own trick, from the glass galleries under the city to a wheel standing on its edge.

Ten power-ups

Play dirty

Grab a power-up and hold on to it. Throw it at the worst possible moment for somebody else.

Grenade

Throw it ahead: it bursts on a rider or a wall, blasting riders away and shattering their ribbon.

Long Shot

Your next throw flies dead straight, faster and two and a half times as far.

Seeker

Your next throw locks on to the nearest rider ahead and chases them down.

Shockwave

Race: a wave runs down the track and stalls every rider ahead of you.

Decoy

A hologram of you rides alongside. Its ribbon derezzes too, and Seekers go for it.

Counter

The next disc that would hit you flies straight back at its thrower.

Rear Guard

The next disc thrown at you from behind shatters on your guard.

Shield

Arena: the next ribbon you hit opens up around you instead.

Ribbon

Race: fills your ribbon meter. Arena: your ribbon lasts twice as long.

Overdrive

Race, last place: five seconds at full boost speed without spending boost.
