Main Menu
Challenge Menu
Pick your Team and then complete each challenge in sequence to unlock that Team's special Super Weapon. In each event, you must at least secure the bronze medal to progress to the next challenge.
Challenge Mode events include RACE (finish in a certain position), TIME (attain a certain lap time), CHASE (overtake or attack another craft within a certain timeframe), SURVIVAL (see out a number of laps), ELIMINATION (take out a pre-determined number of enemy craft) and the mysterious GOLD Challenge.
Zone Menu
Select your Location and Course, then get ready for an assault on your senses, as the g-forces take hold, in what we can safely say is the fastest thrill sensation you are ever likely to experience. Starting at Zone Level 1 and maintaining a speed of 1000 kph, you will go up a zone every ten seconds as your craft increases in speed.
Make it to Zone Level 30 and you will be rewarded with a medal, but it does not end there as Zone Levels are unlimited and, as this is a score-based event, the longer you can stay on track, the higher your score will be. Bonus points are awarded for completing laps, flying "perfect laps", hitting ten speed-up pads, and advancing up a zone. Only when your shield energy elapses will the race end.
There are ten tracks to master, so if speed is what you are after then here's where you can get it and then some!

WIPEOUT FUSION features three multiplayer modes, each with vertical or horizontal split screen facility. You can customize the upgrade level of the craft that you have currently unlocked in the single player Arcade Mode, and it won't cost you a cent! Arcade
Similar to the single player Arcade Mode, but contested over ten punishing laps. Furthermore, the energy-restoring pit lane can be disabled, shield energy can be adjusted and eliminated craft can be re-spawned. AG League
Similar to the single player AG League Mode, but both Player One and Player Two can progress through leagues that are currently unlocked in the single player AG League Mode.

Player One and Player Two can select from up to 42 courses on which to do battle over seven races.
