Race around in magic-infused go-karts with friends online (or 4 in local split-screen) to win shiny pebbles. Or try your hand at one of the arena modes where you pit yourself against your friends in close-quarters combat. Win pebbles and trade them for new vehicles and avatars to show off your success.
