Hang-On GP features three main tracks: Albatross Cliff Reef, Great Crimson Wall, and New Dwells. Each track has an additional route that unlocks after a strong performance, making a total of six possible races.
Players can select from ten motorcycles to compete with during the race, as well as choose between automatic or manual transmission for each bike. Additionally, players can decide how their bike handles, either highside or power slide.
Placing in the top three on any of the first three tracks will unlock the additional routes. Completing these routes while placing in the top three will also make an endurance mode available. In endurance mode, players aim to complete as many laps as possible within a set 10-minute time limit.
