Shunt is an offense [[Power-Ups|power-up]] that shoots a homing missile at nearby drivers. After a certain amount of time the missile will expire if it does not hit a car. Shunt does a large amount of damage and causes cars to rapidly slow down. When fired backwards it loses its homing capability. If a player is being tracked by the missile, a flashing red bar will appear behind their car. Any player can be hit by a missile, even if they are not being tracked by it. a missile can be avoided by out maneuvering it or just driving fast enough to allow it to expire. The missile can also be destroyed by firing a shunt missile backwards, by using [[barge]] when the missile is within range, or by shooting two [[bolt]]s at the missile. |

Mine is an offensive power-up that creates a stationary explosive which detonates when a player hits it. Players can be hit by there own mine. It does a large amount of damage and quickly slows down a vehicle. When fired forward the mine is launched at extremely high speeds. If no player is hit, after a certain distance, it will become stationary like a regular mine. While mine is primarily an offensive weapon, they can block [[shunt]]s and [[bolt]]s. However, when a mine is hit with one of these power-ups they will explode. [[Barge]] also destroys mines. |

Bolt is an offense power-up that contains three projectiles that are fired individually. They can be fired both forwards and backwards. However, Aiming is based on the direction a players car is facing; all shots are parallel to the car. Each projectile does a small amount of damage and causes a car to slow down and skid slightly. While it's primarily an offensive weapon, it can destroy [[Mine]]s and [[shunt]]s with two shots. |

Power-ups are special abilities that player can get on a track that they can use to assist them in a race. Icons are scattered in groups at particularly areas on a level and occasionly in random spots. The imagery and color of the icons indicate which power-up they contain. When a player hits an icon they get the power-up. Icons disappear when they are hit, but quickly respawn. Many modifications can be used that improve power-ups.
Shunt
Shunt is an offense power-up that shoots a homing missile at nearby drivers. After a certain amount of time the missile will expire if it does not hit a car. Shunt does a large amount of damage and causes cars to rapidly slow down. When fired backwards it loses its homing capability. If a player is being tracked by the missile, a flashing red bar will appear behind their car. Any player can be hit by a missile, even if they are not being tracked by it. a missile can be avoided by out maneuvering it or just driving fast enough to allow it to expire. The missile can also be destroyed by firing a shunt missile backwards, by using barge when the missile is within range, or by shooting two bolts at the missile.
Shock
Shock is an offensive power-up, that fires three EMP fields in front of the race leader. EMP fields don't directly land on a player, however, they are difficult to avoid.
