INTRODUCTION

Do I have news for you if you’ve ever found yourself stuck in traffic fantasizing about designing your racetrack? TrackMania for the Wii lets you do just that and more. This isn’t your run-of-the-mill racing simulation, Developed and published by companies like Digital Jesters, Focus, Enlight, and Ubisoft. Sure, you can race—but why stop there? Turn yourself into a track architect using a “building block” system, and unlike real life, you get infinite do-overs within a set time limit. Ah yes, and lest I forget, no one gets hurt in multiplayer; it’s a bumper car-free zone!

BUILDING BLOCKS: MORE THAN JUST A CHILD’S PLAY

TrackMania invites you to dive deep into your inner child and architect a raceway of your dreams through its unique building block system. Reminiscent of old classics like Excitebike from 1984 and Racing Destruction from 1985, it turns you into an automotive Picasso. Is a steep climb followed by a sudden U-turn a genius idea? Sketch it out! Have you made a mistake? Just use that handy undo button. In other racing games, you’re limited to the tracks that the developers have designed. But here, you’re the developer, and your imagination is the only limit!

RACE, CRASH, REPEAT!

It’s said that to err is human, but TrackMania is all about divine second chances. So you’ve taken a nosedive off your newly-created ramp—so what? The game offers you an endless series of do-overs within a set time limit. You can relive that catastrophic fall as often as you wish, tweaking your approach every time. It’s like Groundhog Day but with less Bill Murray and more adrenaline. And if you’re worried about crashing into your buddies in multiplayer mode, don’t be. The cars in TrackMania don’t touch so you can race with abandon and zero consequences.

ZERO HARM IN MULTIPLAYER: IT’S A LOVE, NOT A BATTLEFIELD

Let’s face it: other racing games often turn multiplayer into a demolition derby. But TrackMania makes it a point to keep the peace. The cars don’t make contact, ensuring no egos or virtual car parts are damaged. It’s almost like a magical, invisible force field protects the vehicles. You can race as aggressively as you want, and the worst that can happen is you getting shamelessly outclassed by your friends. That’s what rematches are for!

PUBLISHERS GALORE: SOMETHING NEW EACH TIME

TrackMania has been through the hands of various publishers, from Digital Jesters to Ubisoft. You’d think the soup might be ruined with so many cooks in the kitchen. But not here. Each version of the game brings new and exciting features. The shifts in publisher guidance mean the game has been constantly updated and upgraded. It’s like ordering a hamburger and discovering they’ve added truffle oil and artisanal cheese. It keeps improving, and you can’t resist returning for more!

SPEED ENTHUSIASTS, THIS IS YOUR JUNGLE GYM

To all the speed freaks and adrenaline junkies out there, welcome to your new playground! If you’re looking for a racing simulation that defies convention and stretches the boundaries of what you thought was possible in a video game, look no further.
