ATV Racers features a variety of animals who are out to win an ATV racing championship through means of vehicular combat racing. The game features a Tournament, Arcade, and Time Trial mode.
The story is simple: the player must choose one of their animal racers and compete in three different sets of trophy races - the cross cup, dune cup, and rock cup. Each cup has three different racetracks that change depending on which cup the player is competing in. The goal is to beat the five opponents at the finish line by using guided rockets, speed boosts, and mines to hinder them.
The gameplay is fast-paced and action-packed. In tournament mode, players can earn points by finishing in a high position, with the most points going to the player who wins the championship cup. The game also features Arcade and Time Trial modes, which allow players to practice on any track or try to beat it solo.
Players can adjust settings such as difficulty level, number of laps, and vibration on/off to suit their playing style.
