==Story==
In the not-too-distant future, a new type of racing has be invented- the Nitro Run. 16 robotic warriors built to hover over rough terrain and use their weapons to beat each other down are pit against each other in the grandest races. However, when being transported to their next race, the World Cup team's transport ship crashes onto an uncharted tropic world. Using only their programmed instincts, they race to a strange structure that they seem drawn to.
