Choose by the special action you want

When a browser level allows character choice, choose Segway Guy for a Space-bar jump, Wheelchair Guy for a controllable jet, or Explorer Guy for a minecart that can attach to rails. A level creator can also select the character for you.

Space, Shift, and Ctrl perform different special actions depending on your racer. Irresponsible Dad, Moped Couple, and Santa Claus also use C to switch the camera to their companions.

When the course chooses your racer

Character choice depends on the level: you may use a racer you selected, or the creator may select one for you. Use the special controls for the character assigned to that course.

For level creators, the editor displays a warning when uploading a level without forcing a character.
