You can even double back during a challenge to redo a particular stretch of road if you think it will increase your chances of a great score. It uses a particular model, but the interesting thing about this mode is that it only focuses on scoring drift points. We found that it certainly wasn't as easy as drifting through corners in Mario Kart. The most requested new feature in Wild Run is drift racing. It's a niche to some, but we can see people investing hours and hours into this detail to record near-perfect times across a quarter-mile. Then there are dragsters, and here the Ivory Tower team have created what amounts essentially to a special mode where the objective is to burn tyres ahead of the start (to get them to the correct temperature), then shift gears at the exact right time to maximise acceleration and push the nitro to reach ridiculous speeds. But we suspect players will take to the roads in monster trucks, create their own challenges and see how they behave in the hills and mountains. There are custom made arenas (I believe there are a total of five to find in the game world) that let you flip your monster truck in gravity-defying stunts in order to collect points and earn high scores.
