Each player takes on the role of a bipedal anthropomorphic animal, jumping over all sorts of obstacles in a foot race. Each of the game's six tracks is set in a vastly different locale, presenting unique challenges for every animal on the roster. Players choose from six characters, each with a different skill set.[3] The elephant is the strongest, the bull is the most agile, and the zebra is the fastest.
