To trigger a Power Play you need to fill up at least one segment in your Power Bar, and hold onto it until you’re driving near a Power Play on the track.

Filling a blue segment of your Power Bar is enough to fire a Level 1 Power Play. Save your Power up to fill the red bar and you can trigger the devastating Level 2 Power Plays.

Watch out for colored icons appearing above the road ahead, or over your opponent’s car. A blue icon tells you there’s a Level 1 Power Play nearby, and a red icon highlights a Level 2 Power Play. When you see an icon, get ready to hit the appropriate Power Play button and watch the action unfold!

When you race new tracks, try to learn how each Power Play works to refine your timings, and watch out for Power Plays that open shortcuts and unlock new routes with even more Power Play opportunities!
