  • Reverse Race - Same as Single Race, but the tracks are reversed. (This feature can be played on other types of races such as knockouts, tags and smash races).
  • Race Cup Tournaments - A race tournament where each position is awarded points; the winner is the toy with the most points
  • Smash Challenge - 4-8 toys are placed in a track, where the aim is to eliminate other toys by using the weapons on the track
  • Smash Tournament - A Smash Challenge-based tournament, where toys are given points for the number of "smashes" they earn during each of the tracks.
  • Knockout Race - A knockout-style race, where the toy in last place on every lap is eliminated.
  • Knockout Tournament - A knockout-style tournament, where toys are eliminated at the end of every race.
