The story aspect features several distinct locations, each offering a variety of quests and challenges, primarily focused on completing tracks or fetching items.

“There are a few locations, each with its own layout, quests, and hazards.”
“The quests are either tracks you have to complete or items you have to fetch; they aren't innovative in the least, but making your way up/down is the fun part.”

Players express frustration with the grinding required to unlock certain characters, particularly one that demands 1000 crystals, leading to tedious farming and potential burnout after repeated failures. Many users report giving up due to the excessive time and effort needed to accumulate the necessary resources.
“There's also one character that requires 1000 crystals to race, and that means farming for crystals if you fail repeatedly.”
