        • Objects
          • Blue Car
            • This is the car you control and use to pick up flags and complete stages.
          • Red Car
            • This is the car the enemies use. They will do everything to stop you. If you run into one of these cars you will lose one life.
          • Flags
            • There are three types of flags:
              • Generic Flag:
                • The is the ordinary flag that you will pick up, but will only earn you 100 points with no bonuses. Each consecutive flag’s points will increase by 100 points if you can collect them without losing a life.
              • Special Flag:
                • Collecting a Special Flag will double the point value of all remaining flags on the stage. These flags are marked with the letter ’S’.
              • Lucky Flag:
                • Collecting a Lucky Flag will earn you bonus points depending on the amount of fuel remaining in your tank.
          • Fuel
            • Fuel is the only resource that can keep your car going. Fuel diminishes as time goes on and when it runs out your car will slow down and eventually stop when out of fuel. Other factors that will decrease the amount of fuel you have is using Smoke Screen.
          • Smoke Screen
            • Pressing the A Button releases some Smoke Screen. Red cars will spin for a certain amount of time when they run into the Smoke Screen. Fuel diminishes every time Smoke Screen is deployed. Another way for red cars to slow down is when they drive into each other.
          • Number of Lives
            • You begin with a total of 3 lives. You earn an extra life after you have earned 20,000 points, and a second extra life after 100,000 points. You can lose lives if you run into rocks or get caught by a red car.
