About the Game
Beetle Adventure Racing turns a field of Volkswagen New Beetles into an invitation to explore. Its courses run through countryside, icy mountains, desert ruins and a volcanic island, with detours and concealed routes breaking up the race to the finish. The cars and scenery give it a playful tone, while learning where to turn off the main road becomes as useful as holding a clean racing line.
Cornering, jumps and nitro pickups keep the racing brisk, but the championship also rewards curiosity. Numbered bonus crates are scattered around each course, including along hidden paths. Their points can earn continues, and collecting a course's full 100 points opens another Beetle Battle arena. You have to balance the time spent exploring against your position in the race, gradually building a route that reaches the rewards without losing too much ground. Championship success unlocks further circuits and cars.
Single Race lets you practise a course against a field of computer drivers, face one opponent or use Time Attack to work on your times. Automatic and manual transmission options let you choose how involved to be in shifting. For local competition, two drivers can race head to head. Beetle Battle changes the objective for up to four players: collect six differently coloured ladybugs, use arena pickups against rivals, then reach the exit. A collision-filled battle demands different decisions from a quick lap through the championship courses.
A Nintendo 64 Controller Pak with four free pages is required to save championship progress and records. The game also supports optional Rumble Pak feedback, with accessory changes made when prompted.
