The game

Hop on your scooter at the Boardwalk Bites pizzeria and race the sunset along the Venice boardwalk. Weave through traffic, throw pizza and gelato at your rivals, and get every order to the customer before the timer runs out.

  • Solo Delivery — timed customer runs from Boardwalk Bites, with refills, rewards and upgrades to speed, acceleration and handling.
  • Local Duo — two players on one screen, built for the couch.
  • Duo Race — 3 laps, items on, P1 vs P2.
  • Jet-ski water race — 3 laps around the buoys off the beach against CPU riders.
  • Food combat — pizza, gelato, mozzarella and more; hits stun or flip your target. Boost pickups and drift-boost.
  • Showroom — unlock vehicles like the Portofino Sprint, Venice Volt R, Malibu GT and Apex One, plus helmets and parts.
