------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are 9 tracks at each of the 4 difficulty levels, which can be raced in
any order (although the last track you race is made harder than usual). In
the races you win money, which can be spent on the usual handling and power
upgrades, as well as forward-shooting missiles. You must finish in the top 3
of each race to progress - initially there are 4 computer opponents, but more
are added as you progress through the game
You can upgrade your car throughout the game via the shop section. You are
given an initial price, but also a number of options of things to say to the
salesman – get the right combination and the price will drop.
