Each of the game's six tracks is set in a vastly different locale, presenting unique challenges for every animal on the roster. Players choose from six characters, each with a different skill set. The elephant is the strongest, the bull is the most agile, and the zebra is the fastest. Hidden boss characters can be unlocked in the game's Challenge mode, while Time Trial allows players to race against their own best times.
