Token Dash: in this game mode the player must collect coins as they race downhill. This is more of an arcade mode than the other two as there are power-ups, speed boosts, coin magnets, extra grip etc. to be collected. Sprint: this is a straight race to the bottom, no gates, no coins, no power-ups. The player starts the game ranked as 'Beginner' and progresses to 'Champ' in each game mode by winning gold medals, When they are champion in all three game modes they are awarded the title of Resort Champion.
