There is usually no need for using the vehicle s brakes in this game, but sometimes when the little car gets stuck on an obstacle, reverse really comes in handy. The Charge stations are a nice feature. They are sort of like a fast pit stop. These stations are located in only one place on the track, and they are plainly visible and easy to use. You will pass one on every lap of the race, so it is a good idea to take advantage of them.
Special moves drain a little power also.
In the 6.0 races power management is really simple, but in the 9.0V races, it gets more difficult. The game features eight tracks in TYCO Challenge Mode. The cars are attributed with their own abilities, each one different. They all have their own ratings for speed, acceleration, cornering, and such. Each car also handles differently, adding a new challenge each time you choose a different one to race with.
