A translucent "ghost" representation of a prior performance in a racing game.
A form of racing designed to test the car and driver's skill and endurance. It evolved into closed circuit racing like modern Formula 1 and MotoGP. Even the Mario Kart series has it.
Kart racers are cartoon-like racing games that often feature fantastical power-ups.
A lap is one circuit around a race track. This is featured in many, but not all racing games.
Games that feature support for Nintendo's Mii avatars.
Noki are a race of shell-like creatures that inhabit Noki Bay. Since Super Mario Sunshine they have made a few other appearances.
The Piantas inhabit the island resort of Isle Delfino in the game Super Mario Sunshine. Piantas are also present in other Mario franchise games.
A rocket start is an element that appears in most fictional racing games; it is an important technique to gain boost at the start of a race by accelerating at the right time. This technique is inspired by the Mario Kart series. It is also used in other games, too!
A route shorter than the usual one.
In auto racing, standing starts have the cars or go-karts stationary in the starting grid as the race begins. To commence racing in a standing start, a set of red lights is needed before the green one goes off to start the race.
A grid that is organized for the start of the race in rows of 2, 3 or more. Very useful for standing starts in various racing titles.
Players compete against the clock to secure the fastest time possible. This is often added to racing games for extra replay value and typically requires a higher degree of skill.
In some racing games the player has to choose between two different routes. This also occurs in platform games and other genres.
