The object
To purchase vehicles, the player answers questions relating to science at stops along the way. Each stop has a theme: the construction site is simple machines, Clown College is chemistry, etc. There are three opposing teams: two tough street fighters, a pair of alien siblings, and a know-it-all named Odessa King. The game also featured an information book that ran over one-hundred pages long and taught science topics such as optics (via a run-in with the light police) and energy (with the help of Sheik Oil Slick).
