Multiplayer options in Race and Battle modes break new ground as well,
allowing for up to eight players (split screen) using four Wii Remotes™ and any
combination of four Nunchuks™, Classic Controllers, Nintendo GameCube™
controllers, or Logitech® Speed Force Wireless™ force feedback racing wheels.
Speed Zone is the first Wii game to support up to four of the Speed Force
Wireless wheels.
A 3D, three-sided pyramid menu provides access to the game’s 30 levels. The
pyramid menu displays 10 Solo tracks, 10 Race tracks, and 10 Battle arenas.
Initially, only the lowest-tier levels are unlocked. Players need to achieve a
number of goals to unlock level links to the more challenging levels above on
the pyramid menu.
In Solo mode, players try to ignite jet thrusters with boost pads to
accelerate "into the zone,” with phantom cars and racing lines to help set lap
records. When a player beats the targeted Zone-Time, the next level unlocks.
Players can find secret pickups and shortcuts and earn bonus rewards by setting
new best times. Bonus rewards can be used to buy new cars, skins, aerodynamic
aides, and performance upgrades, which give the player the opportunity to go
even faster when revisiting levels.
