Racetracks

Championship Challenge contestants compete on up to 7 racetracks that wind through Piñata Island’s most exotic locales!

Racetrack Description Shortcut Location
Beached! The sands of Piñata Island's beaches are kissed by the sun and the surf. They're also kissed by the feet, claws, and hooves of our competitors. From there, we head inland through a lush jungle, the floor of which is not really kissed by the sand and the surf, except in extreme weather. It does see its share of feet, though.  ???
Bridged  ???  ???
Civilized This cozy town is home to world-class restaurants, boutiques, and museums, plus a charming souvenir shop and a top-notch piano tuner. We recommend that you visit absolutely none of these, since this would likely put you in last place. An alleyway on the left, right before the final (left) turn to the finish line.
Garden  ???  ???
Frosty! If you enjoy huge glaciers, sheer ice cliffs, and breathtaking views, you'll love the Frosty! region. If you enjoy running really fast past these kinds of things, that will help too. This kind of terrain generally requires subzero clothing, ice screws, rope, and a climbing axe. Since you will have none of that -- good luck!  ???
 ???  ???  ???
Factory This industrial zone is where all the goodies that end up in Piñatas are made. There is no other environment on Piñata Island that is so hazardous and at the same time so delicious. Go ahead and drool -- the Piñatas behind you might slip in it!  ???

Scoring

Tips

  • Shortcuts are really useful, but hard to find. Hidden away, the best way to find them is to look for a small, blocked path!
