Players take the role of superhero runners competing in fast-paced platform races. Build momentum, leap across courses, swing with a grappling hook, and use shortcuts, traps, and power-ups to get ahead; a shrinking ring of fire eliminates runners who fall behind.

A story campaign follows heroes defending New Rush City through races and boss encounters. Tutorials introduce movement techniques, while 16 map layouts offer different course challenges.
The supplied reviews are sharply divided. Players who enjoy the game often praise racing with friends, the competitive speed-and-momentum loop, and tutorials that help explain movement techniques; some also like the new power-ups and updated presentation.
