Racetracks
Championship Challenge contestants compete on 7 racetracks in forward and reverse versions that wind through Piñata Island’s most exotic locales!
| Racetrack | Reverse | Description | Shortcut Location |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beached! | Tangled | 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. | A (blocked) slope on the left heading down to the lower track, after exiting the tunnel into the Ruffian village. |
| Bridged | Launched! | ??? | An alleyway on the left, right before the final (left) turn to the finish line. |
| Civilized | Settled | 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. | On the first speedbooster, very close to the beginning, there is a blocked off alleyway that wants you to turn. Instead, go straight into the barrels and you will pop down and fairly far ahead of the other contestants. |
| Garden | Courtyard | ??? | ??? |
| Frosty! | Iced | 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! | A little past the middle of the track, there is a cave and you can take a right hand short cut out of it and skip a swervy part of an ice bridge. |
| Cha-Cha-Changes | Tunnel | ??? | In the beginning area with all of the houses, there are some ramps which allow you to get on top of some of the roofs and they have faster ways around some of the twists and turns. |
| Factory | Assembled | 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! | ??? |

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. |
 |
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!
