Gameplay

ATR: All Terrain Racing is a top-down racer. Gameplay featured three game modes across 6 different types of tracks and 3 vehicle styles. [5]

The majority of tracks in ATR were designed with long and short routes offering navigational strategy options. [5] Tracks also contain environmental hazards the player has to avoid, such as oil slicks and small jumps as well as pick-ups such as turbos. Tracks have turns that are not just 90 degrees in nature, a feature not present in Overdrive , ATR's predecessor. [5]
