Racetracks
Championship Challenge contestants compete on 14 racetracks that wind through Piñata Island’s most exotic locales!
| Racetrack | Description | Shortcut Locations |
|---|---|---|
| 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 | Take on wobbly bridges, splashing waterfalls and dark tunnels. |
|
| 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. |
|
| Garden | City life getting to you? Take a trip to the country. | No Shortcuts |
| 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! | 1.) The first one is after you come out of the first tunnel, hang a sharp left!! Its right after you get out of the tunnel. you will see barrier's with a section of cone's go through the cone's blocking the way.
2.) The second one is in the ice cave, You have to hang to the right the whole time in this cave, you should come out on a little bridge of ice with a snowman in front of the bridge. 3.) The third one, people always miss. When you come out of the last cave into and open area, you will see a big ramp in front of you go around it and hang to the right of the open area and you should see a little ramp that has a snowman in front of it that launches you in the air into 2 balloons. |
| Cha-Cha-Changes | Slippery rooftop races take you on a wild ride to zany conveyor belts. | 1.) This one is confusing, after you pass the snowmen in the beginning, pass the house on your right, then you will see a house with a balloon right in front of it. Just take that roof and your pretty much golden. (Just follow along the top of the roofs).
2.) These are very easy, you should have all seen them. the conveyer belts at the end of the level. Yup! those are shortcuts. Take all the conveyer belts or a majority of them! |
| 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! | 1.) This shortcut will be after you go up a tube like thing, the track immidietly takes a sharp right. But what your gonna do is keep staying straight! and you will follow along the tube that your on.
2.) Right after the first shortcut, you will be lead through a cave. As soon as you exit the cave, hang a right. It will launch you accros the path instead of having to circle around. |
| Assembled | Twisty turns and mysterious machines arise from the depths of the factory. | you come out of one of the tunnels about 2/3rds of the way through. There is a bunch of cautions and roadblocks. It is a spinning wheel with a hut in the middle. Bust through the roadblocks and run accross. |
| Tunnel | It's chaos in the canyons, terror in the tunnels, bedlam in the bumpers, and shenanigans in the snow. | 1.) Ok, the first one remember those conveyer belts, yup do the same thing here! take them all or most of them.
2.) When you first get to the houses, you will take a ramp and it will launch you. Then be on the lookout for 2 more ramps that launch you and take them. |
| Iced | Hold on to your earmuffs, Pinata pals! This chilly adventure sends you sliding. | 1. In the very beginning of the race, there is a ramp just after the snowmen. Instead of going up that one, about 10 feet before the ramp, veer off to the left and go off the other ramp. 2. About half way through the track, there is a path to go accross the ice which allows you to save some time and hazardous wiggling accross ices bridges (same as Frosty) |
| Courtyard | Fly frantically from flowering foliage, finding friends and funny festivities at the finish. | No Shortcuts |
| Settled | Take a trip through a familiar neighborhood | 1.) In the beginning when you go around a rotary type thing, you should see a red ramp going up with a booster on it, take it.
2.) This one is tough to see. after you go through a tunnel, hang to the right and you should see an opening, go in it. 3.) After you go over a bridge type thing and take a left, then a right. its on the right side right on front of you. As usual, take it. |
| Launched! | Spring in your step? Launch yourself above the town to lofty bridges leading you into the heart of the jungle. | 1.) In the beginning of the level, stay to the right and take that shortcut. Its very easy to see.
2.) This one is the same as bridged #1. This time its at the end and just stay to the left, you will see it. |
| Tangled | Tropical paradise at its finest! Thick, steamy jungles lead you on an adventure to spectacular sunlit beaches and soft seas. | This one is the same as Beached, in the beginning in the wooden ground floor area, hang to the right and go up the shortcut. |

Power-Ups
Piñatas can carry up to two power-ups at one time. Use to switch between them at any time!
| Power-Up | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 |
Buzzlegum Honey Slick | This sweetly sticky stuff slows down trailing opponents.
Tip: Ooey! Gooey! Gluey! This power-up leaves a sticky mess for anyone behind you! |
 |
Fiesta Missile | This deceptively festive guided missile stuns leading opponents.
Tip: Use the Fiesta Missile to stun and slow down your opponents! It only lasts a few seconds, so timing is everything! |
 |
Fizzy Bloater | Double your size, and become immune to attacks, such as Fiesta Missile and the Pollenator.
Tip: At twice your size, you're practically invincible! You can repel Fiesta Missiles, and you won't get pushed around with this power-up. Also, if you bump into one of your opponents while using this power-up, they get blasted away from you. This is especially useful when you are near a wall. |
 |
Flutterscotch Wings | Increase your speed, and fly over hazards, such as logs.
Tip: Flutterscotch Wings quickly fly you along your way! Use them to glide over Buzzlegum Honey Slicks and Fiesta Missiles! |
 |
Pollenator | Lay a trail of pollen to daze racers behind you, especially around turns.
Tip: Leaving a cloud of pollen in its wake, this power-up leaves your opponents sliding around uncontrollably! |
 |
Rocket Pack | Gain a huge speed boost, while losing all control!
Tip: Jump on board for the ride of your life! This short-lived speedy power-up whisks you safely past Pollenator clouds, Buzzlegum Honey Slicks, and Fiesta Missiles. |
 |
Smoke Bomb | Use this on other racers to send them spinning.
Tip: Send smoke-filled Loathers to confuse and spin your opponents! It's clear skies ahead for you! |
 |
Supercharged Peppermint Candy | This little goody boosts your speed, and still allows you to steer.
Tip: This power-up speeds you down the path and leaves you feeling minty fresh! |
 |
Water Bomb | Soak your opponents to blur their vision.
Tip: This power-up splashes your opponent's screen with a sheet of water, making it hard to see! |
Scoring
You don't immediately get any points for races, but a race bonus (of up to 5 points) is added to your score after each minigame.
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!
- Most power-ups can be found near the ground. Some require you to jump to retrieve them! Press
to jump around!
- We all know ice is slippery. A slower, but sure-footed Piñata may be faster in the long run.
- A little bump can throw your opponent off their game. Be careful, though, because opponents can bump back!
- Don't worry if you fall off the track! You'll be back in the game in no time!
- Use the Progression Meter to see where you are in the race! You can keep an eye on the competition here, too.
- Piñatas are sure-footed, but the ones that slide can get around any corner! Press Error creating thumbnail: File missingto put your slide to good use.
