Gameplay
Being a successor to Hang-On, the object of the game is the same of it. To race passing checkpoints and not letting the time run out while avoiding other racers or going off track.

Africa is the easiest and shortest out of the four courses (6 stages). Asia is the second easiest and is similar in length to the course from the original Hang-On at 10 stages long. The Americas is the second to toughest course, containing 14 stages and Europe is the hardest course, being 18 stages long.
