All playable characters can pick up special Omni-Node Power-Ups with many different types of alien-based abilities, including a special Ultimate move that unleashes a super boost of speed and power. Races are held in Galactic Grand Prix circuits, and players can set record-breaking time scores that can be set in Time Trials mode.[1] A new alien, Fasttrack, made his video game debut on every platform and one of Ben's original aliens, Diamondhead was made exclusively available on the Nintendo DS version.[1] This is the first Ben 10 game that's not available on the PlayStation Portable and the PlayStation 2, and the first Ben 10 game in which the player can play as Vilgax.

Gameplay

Gameplay has been cited to be similar to Nintendo's 2008 and 2014 games Mario Kart Wii and Mario Kart 8 ,[2] with characters racing through various race circuits based on different places across the Ben 10 franchise, and collecting power-ups (called Omni-Nodes) to boost their speed or hamper their opponents. The game features different types of stages or modes. Featuring: The Galactic Grand Prix (racing in several multi-tracks to unlock characters and win trophies), Short Circuit (racing on a custom prix consisting of three tracks), Single Race (racing on any track), Time Trials (beat times set by players and where players unlock karts), Showdown (three bonus games consisting of Ultimate Alienation, Omni-Tag and Ultimate Elimination) and Multiplayer (a mode that includes up to four players who race against each other.)
