Overview and Gameplay
Bigfoot sends the famous monster truck from Los Angeles to New York through a series of overhead road races and side-view competition events. The route includes car crushing, mud racing, hill climbing, tractor pulling, and a final drag race.
Road stages feature obstacles, checkpoints, cash, nitro, and temporary equipment such as a shield, wrench, spring, and circular saw. Prize money pays for entry fees, repairs, replacement trucks, and upgrades to the engine, tires, transmission, and suspension. The overall contest is decided by points rather than remaining cash.
Controls And Mechanics
- Use the directional pad to accelerate, brake, steer, and navigate menus.
- Use A for nitro jumps during road races and gear changes during competition events.
- Use B to activate a held pickup or engage the supercharger.
- Side-view events require rapidly alternating Left and Right to build speed while watching fuel, temperature, and engine performance.
- Two players compete simultaneously against each other rather than cooperating.
