The Quest for Glory: Unlocking New Tracks and Vehicles
Cruis’n Blast’s core gameplay revolves around completing races across its vibrant tracks. Each race awards points based on your finishing position, stunt performance, and collection of power-ups scattered along the course. Accumulate enough points to unlock new tracks, vehicles, and customization options – personalize your ride with unique paint jobs and decals.
Beyond the Finish Line: Multiplayer Mayhem and Special Modes Cruis’n Blast shines brightest when shared with friends.

Picture yourself narrowly edging out a friend at the finish line or unleashing a well-timed power-up that sends them spiraling off track – those are the moments Cruis’n Blast thrives on.
Beyond standard races, the game features several exciting modes to keep things fresh:
- Battle Mode: Unleash mayhem with power-ups like rockets and mines. The last racer standing wins!
- Time Trial: Test your skills and push for the fastest lap time.
