• Solo Flight: fly through the courses with nothing but your personal time to compete against

• Sky Race: compete with others to be first across the finish line (in this mode you will find powerups)

• Flight Frenzy: Collect weapons and plane upgrades for extra strategy while racing others to the finish line

• Stealth Ops: Fly through a canyon defended by a multitude of turrets as you try to destroy a missile before it launches

“Bots," are computer-controlled opponents to race against. Turning on “bots” (virtual opponents) make the race more competitive, even when you're playing alone. If you prefer a more relaxed ride without any virtual competition, opt to ride solo.

Ensure you have set the mode to “SkyBattle”. Power-ups are collected by flying through their icons in the sky. Players can earn temporary plane upgrades—such as increased health, armor, or speed (one upgrade active at a time)—or unlock weapons like dumb-fire rockets and lock-on rockets.

• Upright:

  • Steering: Steer the handlebars left or right to navigate through the course. Use the joystick to move your airplane up or down.

  • Launch: In order to launch an item, you must first “pick up” an item by flying through it. Once you’ve acquired a fireable item, press “Y” to launch it.

• Recumbent:

  • Steering: Pull up on both handlebars to fly upwards, and down on both handlebars to go down. Pushing the right handlebar down will allow you to steer right and the left handlebar down will allow you to steer left.

  • Launch In order to launch an item, you must first “pick up” an item by flying through it. Once you’ve acquired a fireable item, press the yellow button to launch it.

The harder you set the difficulty, the more obstacles (or the more challenging the obstacles) become in the course.

The settings in which you fly can vary:

Canyon: A cramped canyon filled to the brim with hostile turrets as the player will navigate towards a hidden silo and destroy the missile before it's able to launch. This location is only available in the Stealth Ops mode.

The solo flight and racing modes have:

• Mysterious Lands: A mix of open canyons and cramped caves, this beautiful mountainous course will have the player dodging airships and weaving through steam geysers on their way to the finish line.

• Utopian City: A futuristic cityscape, players will navigate past buildings, around floating platforms, and through narrow passages as they change the meaning of rush hour while racing to the finish line.

• Underwater Maze: Navigate through a continuous underwater pipeline, with tight corners and spinning obstacles to avoid as players travel to the surface for some fresh air and to reach the finish line.

• MacroForest: The plane becomes the size of a bug - and it’s not an easy life for a critter. Look out for bugs and even blades of grass - flying is challenging when you’re this tiny.

• Toyland: Welcome to the playroom! There’s a lot to dodge when such a big mess is left behind. Awaken your inner child in this imaginative world where you race through toys and stuffed animals.
