LEAGUE
The Sideways Racing League may be a decaying shadow of its glory days, but someone forgot to inform the drivers, who are more competitive than they've ever been. Top the leaderboard for each league area to unlock the next.
KNOCKOUT
Race all tracks from all areas in succession. A win gives you the privilege to race again. Anything less ends your game, driver. It's called Knockout for a reason. Good luck, you're definitely going to need it.
TIME TRIAL
It's just you and the clock, with no distractions. Time Trial race records count for bragging rights and are listed in Game Center, so get your speed on. To unlock tracks, win the Sideways Racing League for each area.
