Trackmania is a series of racing games developed by Nadeo, where players race against the clock to set the fastest times on highly varied tracks. It is known for its unique blend of speed, stunts, and user-generated content.
Game Modes[edit]
Trackmania offers various game modes:
- Race: The main mode, where players race on time attack-based tracks.
- Stunt: Players gain points for performing tricks in a limited amount of time.
- Puzzle: Players complete a semi-built track with a set amount of blocks, allowing for different configurations to get the fastest possible time.
