Drive Mad 2 Worlds: Classic, Space, Winter, Monster Truck, VS

Four worlds on one menu

Press Home after any level and you reach a menu with four tabs along the bottom: VS, Worlds, Awards and Settings. The Worlds tab is a carousel of small island scenes, and you swipe or drag sideways to move between them. Each island shows a progress bar with the number of levels in that world. In the build on this site there are four:

World	Levels	Scene on the menu
Classic	200	Grass block, water and a wooden bridge
Space	15	Grey moon base with a rocket, a flag and a small Earth
Winter	25	Snowy island with pine trees, a cabin and a snowman
Monster Truck	25	An arena with a crowd in the stands

That is 265 single-player levels in all.

Space

The Space pack is the shortest. Its level names follow a trip from training to other planets: First Gear, Back Up, Suit Up, To the Moon, One Small Step, Meteorite, Crystal Mining, Mars Rover, Crater Jump, Asteroids, Big Drop, Geysers, Invaders, Mars Rover Jump and Unobduction. The pack's own tagline in the game data is simply "Spaaaaaace!".

Winter

Winter uses snow and ice set pieces. Its levels include Ski Jump, Cross Country, Off Piste, Hockey, Ski Flying, Icebreaker, Cold Showers, Avalanche, Mountain Village, Express Lift and Snowball Fight.

Monster Truck

The Monster Truck world is set in an arena. Its levels include Carzilla, Tug Of War, Break Bricks, Leap Of Faith, Fire Pit, Big Button, Monster Hills, Rings Of Fire, Over Bus, Angry Trucks and Hill Climber, and the pack has a level called Final Boss. The Awards tab has a separate award for beating all Monster Truck levels.

VS mode

The VS tab, also reachable from the crossed-swords button in the top right corner during a level, is a race mode. It opens on a track of trophies called cups. The first is the Grass Cup, and the next one shown is the Wood Cup with a target of 125 next to it. Two counters at the top right keep track of what you have earned, and a red Race! button starts a race. VS levels have their own names, such as Early Beginnings, Two Way Jump, Slip N Slide, Wall Jump, Half Pipes and Loopy Loop, plus tracks named after real places on Mars and the Moon, like Gale Crater, Olympus Mons and Kepler Crater.

The game's code refers to the other cars in VS as recordings picked by matchmaking, which suggests you race against recorded runs rather than live opponents.

Awards and Settings

Awards is a scrolling row of badges, each with a short goal under it, such as "Wheelie: Beat level 1 on your back wheels". Settings in this build holds a single SFX button to switch sound effects on or off.

Where to start

Classic is the natural first stop because its early levels teach forward and reverse one at a time. The other worlds can be opened from the carousel, and their first levels are again called First Gear and Back Up, so each pack eases you in the same way.
