The game features multiple single-player and multiplayer game modes.

Go-kart
A go-kart, also written as go-cart (often referred to as simply a kart), is a type of open-wheel car. Go-karts come in all shapes and forms, from motorless models to high-powered racing machines. Some, such as Superkarts, are able to beat racing cars or motorcycles on long circuits. Gravity racers, usually referred to as Soap Box Derby carts, are the simplest type of go-karts. They are propelled by gravity, with some races taking place down a single hill. Recreational karts can be powered by four-stroke engines or electric motors, while racing karts use a two-stroke or, rarely, higher powered four-stroke engines.

Karting is where people like Nico Rosberg, Ayrton Senna, Lewis Hamilton and Michael Schumacher started. Karts vary widely in speed and some (known as Superkarts) can reach speeds exceeding , while recreational go-karts intended for the general public may be limited to lower speeds.
