As with all Extreme-G games, futuristic racing pilots race plasma-powered bikes in an intergalactic Grand Prix at speeds that are over 750 km/h making it the fastest racing game of all time. The emphasis is on speed and creative racetrack design, with tracks looping through like roller-coasters.
Each of the machines have their own handling characteristics, with varying top speeds, armor values and traction values. All of the machines in the game have an energy meter which powers the machine's protective shields. At the beginning of each round, the player is given three "nitro" powerups which provide a temporary speed boost (these powerups cannot be used for the first lap of the race or replenished). If a machine loses all of its energy, it will explode on contact, causing the player to lose a life or the match. However, energy can be regained by driving over special recharge icons in the road. It is also possible for players can also fall off the tracks, which are shown to be several miles up in the air.
