Championship is a series of races, with the addition of a money system to purchase upgrades, such as engine tuning, better tires, and insurance. You must also earn money to pay for repairs to your car, which will be necessary. For Speed 3 or the Test Drive series. Damage is very well done visually, with deformations similar to Viper Racing, and car performance will suffer with extensive damage to the car. There is a real difference in how the car handles the different surfaces, and that fact adds greatly to the gameplay.
Several obstacles are present throughout the game, providing some humor, and a degree of challenge.
Without giving too much away, expect to find UFOs, Giant gorillas, and the occasional killer squid hanging around the tracks, as well as some less active measures. Seeing things like this made me realize that SB is more about playfulness than outright competition. With IPX or the Game Service, up to six players can join, but the other modes are limited to two. One of the better multiplayer features in SB is the ability to race in Championship mode, making the races a little more involving and competitive. This, among the other things mentioned, make SB a good multiplayer game choice.
