Mountain Bike

Mountain Bike is a downhill trail ride rather than a race against other riders. You roll down a rough course, over rocks and roots and off jumps, and the score grows with the distance you cover. The further you get, the more points the run is worth.

The catch is an energy bar that keeps going down while you ride. A run ends when it is empty, so the trail is also a search for red power-up pills, which refill it. That turns every section into a small choice: take the line that is easiest to ride, or the one that passes the pill.

Big jumps are part of the course, and landing them cleanly is what keeps the bike moving. What you are getting is a single rider, a long trail and a resource to manage along the way. What you are not getting is a field of opponents or a lap to repeat — the measure is how far down the mountain you make it.

1. Ride down the trail and keep the bike upright over rocks and roots.
2. Take the jumps with enough speed to clear them.
3. Collect red power-up pills to recharge the energy bar.
4. Cover as much distance as you can before the energy runs out.

Plan around the pills, not the jumps. A spectacular landing is worth little if the energy bar empties two sections later.
