Tracks often have signs that help with the general direction or to highlight parts where stunts can be performed. Certain cups are much harder and are offered as a bonus challenge. There are shortcuts, alternate paths that open up after certain events, and also other vehicles, dynamic elements and explosions, rain, storms or fire, influencing the racing conditions.Įvent types include regular track races, slalom, elimination, stunts against a time limit, and mini championships where the results of different events are combined. There are eight tracks: Downtown Rush, Unicorn Base, Sky Mines, Grindhouse, Tropico, The Ruins, Alpha Station, and Firewater, each with their own theme. After crashing a separate button is used to recover and the same button is used to activate boost. There are regular ramps, but also huge waves or bridges as there is a lot of interactivity on the tracks with events that influence the environment. At various parts of the tracks stunts can be performed and these fill a booster meter. Racing consists of controls for acceleration, braking and turning. Defeating such a character adds it to the roster, with a custom hydrojet as a new vehicle to race. The career mode consists of several events where up to three stars can be earned based on the result, needed to keep unlocking new races until there is a showdown with a boss character. There are often static story sequences between races, with conversations between characters and bosses. Years later, the rider needs to return after being banned from the GP League and take revenge on Krex. In the interactive tutorial the devious Krex gets the player's character caught in an illegal race. At the start of the game the player chooses a male (Impact) or female (Poison) rider. The Renegade part of the title hints at the introduction of a story to the career mode. The game modes are a single-player career mode, a challenge mode to get the best times on leaderboards, quick races, a synchronous online multiplayer mode for up to eight players, and a local split-screen mode for two to four players.
