The player takes part in a demolition derby. Hit other cars in the radiator to damage them, while avoiding being hit in one's own radiator. Power-ups include wrenches, screwdrivers and car keys. A notable feature of the multiplayer mode was the ability to enter a game while it is in progress; the message "CAR ENTERING DERBY" would appear on screen.
