Continuing with the power ups, there are three more that you can get besides the ones that were listed on the previous page. The blue force field will render you invincible for a six second time span, allowing you not to be hit by the various offensive power ups that other players send out. The punch in a box will punch any other player who runs into it, sending them flying backwards. The heart makes you invincible for one hit.
The winner of the stage is, of course, the one who finishes in first place. When you finish a race, your ranking points will increase or decrease depending on your positioning. Your coins will increase as well. Coins go up by about 1 if you finish last, all the way up to 60+ coins if you finish the race in first place. These allow you to buy items in the shop. More on that later.
There are, of course, two other modes of play in this game. One of them is the practice mode, which pits you in a race against computer controlled players. Your rank will not increase or decrease for playing one of the quick play games, nor will your coins. In addition, you will get to choose the stage, rather than having it go to a vote.
There are two different types of stages that you can play in the game. One type is the green stage, which, no matter what the stage, is generally a grassy area that may include clouds which you can run on. The others are the white stages with pink skies, which are candy stages. These include other terrain obstacles, such as orange surfaces which you can slow you down, and pink surfaces which will cause you to bounce off of them if you try to run on them.
