![]() ![]() Race mode gives you a complicated track to begin with and demands that you master its layout, quirks and shortcuts if you aim to get the Gold. Puzzle mode involves experimenting by placing track pieces until you've linked start and finish posts as efficiently as possible - and then putting in a performance on the track you've constructed that brings you home within tight time constraints. It's all about starting with no idea and then gradually getting it as right as possible. It fits in perfectly because it's attractive in exactly the same way as the series' surviving modes Puzzle and Race. Hit it at the right speed and angle, however awkward it seems, and you can propel your car through the gap and roll to a neat stop.

Each level is a cleverly constructed maze of ramps, jumps and other obstacles that are tough to negotiate and even unravel, and which require countless quick-fire attempts to learn and overcome.Īs you make progress it throws up even more challenging arrangements and demands not just skilful manipulation of the car but a certain amount of lateral thinking.
