WIPEOUT 3 | GAME | MODES

INTENSE RACING WITH WEAPONS AND CHECKPOINTS AGAINST A FULL FIELD OF COMPETITORS. CLEAR EACH CHECKPOINT BEFORE YOUR TIME RUNS OUT OR IT'S GAME OVER BEFORE YOU'VE EVEN FINISHED THE RACE. THE NUMBER OF LAPS DEPENDS ON THE RACING CLASS BEING PLAYED. IF YOUR SHIELD ENERGY IS RUNNING LOW, BOOST YOUR POWER IN THE PIT LANE.
A RACE AGAINST THE CLOCK WITHOUT WEAPONS OR ENEMY CRAFT. A GHOST CRAFT WILL FLY A DUPLICATE OF THE PREVIOUS BEST RACE. GHOST RACES CAN BE LOADED FROM MEMORY CARD VIA THE LOAD TIME TRIAL OPTION IN THE RACING CLASS MENU. BEST RACE TIMES CAN BE SAVED TO MEMORY CARD FOR FUTURE GAMES.
TWENTY-FOUR UNIQUE ASSIGNMENTS AWAIT YOU. DIVIDED INTO THREE CHALLENGE MODES, YOU WILL BE SET SPECIFIC TASKS USING PRESET CRAFT ON PREDETERMINED CIRCUITS:

> RACE CHALLENGE: RACE TO ACHIEVE 1ST, 2ND OR 3RD AGAINST A STANDARD ARRAY OF COMPETITORS.
> TIME CHALLENGE: RACE TO COMPLETE THE CIRCUIT WITHIN A PREDETERMINED TIME.
> WEAPON CHALLENGE: RACE AND DESTROY A FIXED NUMBER OF OPPONENTS.

NOTE: RUMOURS OF A FURTHER EIGHT GRUELLING TASKS WITHIN A FOURTH CHALLENGE MODE HAVE BEEN STRONGLY DENIED BY F7200 OFFICIALS.
A SCORE-BASED EVENT WHERE A FULL COMPLEMENT OF OPPONENTS VIE FOR SUPERIORITY. YOU SCORE ONE POINT FOR EACH COMPLETED LAP AND ONE POINT FOR EACH COMPETITOR DESTROYED. THE RACE CONTINUES UNTIL EITHER YOU OR YOUR OPPONENTS ACHIEVE THE TARGET SCORE. CRAFT DESTROYED DURING THE RACE ARE RE-SPAWNED AT THE STARTING LINE.
NOTE: THE PIT-LANE IS DEACTIVATED DURING ELIMINATOR EVENTS.
THE ULTIMATE ANTI-GRAVITY CHAMPIONSHIPS OF ALL TIME. A FULL LINE-UP OF COMPETITORS CONTEST THE FAST AND FURIOUS TOURNAMENT MODE OVER A VARIETY OF CIRCUITS. RUN ON A POINTS-FOR-PLACES BASIS, THE PILOT AT THE TOP OF THE LEADER-BOARD AT THE END OF THE SEASON IS CROWNED THE CHAMPION.
IN THE EVENT OF A TIE, THE PILOT WITH THE MOST MEDALS WINS, AND IN THE CASE OF THIS BEING A TIE, THE PLAYER WITH THE GREATER VALUE OF MEDALS WINS (GOLD BEING WORTH 3 POINTS, SILVER 2 AND BRONZE 1). IN THE CONTINUED CASE OF A TIE, THE PLAYER WITH THE LOWEST OVERALL RACING TIME FOR THE FOUR TRACKS WINS.
