Drive!

Overview

Your goal is to drive down the bridge while avoiding obstacles. Use the paddle controller to steer your car left and right, moving in between the gaps. As you drive, your score will increase. You lose a life if you collide with an obstacle. The game will end when you lose all your lives or reach 99,999 points. The obstacles are completely random — they will be different each time you play! Additionally, the game speeds up periodically when you accumulate enough points.

Enable Speed Freak Mode if you want an additional challenge! Speed Freak Mode will make the game play at breakneck speed. Enable if you dare!

While driving, you will encounter treasures. Collecting these will grant you 1,500 points, and will add to your treasure count. (You can have up to 5 treasures at once.) Some treasures will grant special powers when collected, such as giving you an extra life, allowing you to pass through obstacles unharmed for a few seconds, or allowing you to jump infinitely for a brief time. Speaking of jumping, at any point it is possible to "burn" a treasure, giving you the energy to jump over an obstacle. Doing this will remove one treasure, so it's best not to jump excessively.

You can use the difficulty switches to make the obstacles further apart or closer together, as well as enabling or disabling moving obstacles.
