Hold the drift control — Space or Shift on a keyboard, the DRIFT button on a phone — or simply hold a turn for about half a second while at speed. Brief steering corrections do not break traction, so you can still take a corner cleanly when that is faster. Holding the slide longer charges a bigger tiered mini-turbo, which releases as a boost when you straighten up.

Yes. Hold W or the up arrow (the green pedal on a phone) to accelerate and S or the down arrow (the red pedal) to brake. Braking into a corner helps the car rotate, and a short lift before a drift keeps you on the road. The camera follows your car, so the road ahead always points up the screen.

Yes — three AI rivals share the track with you, each with a different skill level and racing line. They brake for corners and defend their position, and beating them earns bonus coins. Separately, the ghost is a replay of your own best run on that track, racing alongside you. It shows exactly where you are gaining or losing time compared to your previous attempt, which makes it the fastest way to learn a track.

In a race your finishing position sets the stars: first place earns three, second two and third one. In the time-attack events there are no rivals, so the stars come from gold, silver and bronze target times. One star is enough to open the next event, and the coins you earn go into engine, grip and nitro upgrades — the rivals in the later worlds are quick enough that you will want them.

Eighteen, split across three worlds of six: Sunset Coast, Harbour Nights and Alpine Pass. Each world introduces a new surface — boost pads, oil slicks, then black ice — includes one time attack, and finishes with a three-lap cup final. Clearing the Summit Cup completes the campaign.
