Galactic Racing's gameplay is similar toNintendo'sMario Kart franchise,[1] with characters racing through various race circuits based on different places across theBen 10 franchise, and collecting power-ups (calledOmni-Nodes) to boost their speed or hamper their opponents. The game features several modes, including: The Galactic Grand Prix (racing in several multi-tracks to unlock characters and win trophies), Short Circuit (racing on a custom prix consisting of three tracks), Single Race (racing on any track), Time Trials (beat times set by players and where players unlock karts), Showdown (three bonus games consisting of Ultimate Alienation, Omni-Tag and Ultimate Elimination) and Multiplayer (a mode that includes up to four players who race against each other).
While players can enableBen's alien forms in mid-race, other characters such asKevin Levin can utilize their unique special abilities to affect the outcome of a race. All playable characters can pick up special Omni-Node Power-Ups with many different types of alien-based abilities, including a special Ultimate move that unleashes a super boost of speed and power. Races are held in Galactic Grand Prix circuits, and players can set record-breaking time scores that can be set in Time Trials mode.[2] A new alien, Fasttrack, made his video game debut on every platform and one of Ben's original aliens, Diamondhead was made exclusively available on theNintendo DS version.[2]
