The participant pilots the titular “Moto” and is tasked with operating every of their opponents off of the stage, whereas avoiding taking a tumble into the void themselves.
A whopping 62 levels of bumper-to-bumper motion awaits, that includes more and more nasty hordes of enemies, in addition to car upgrades such because the momentum-boosting “Energy Bumps” and even “Soar Elements”, which afford our Moto the flexibility to leap by means of the air, Knight Rider-style.
