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!
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!
