Plot
On a little island known as Trem Land, a crazed wizard named Hex plans to take over the world using red meteor chunks to power his device. He can't do this on his own so he forms a contest and invites a group of miscellaneous characters so that they can race each other across the island in search of the seven red meteor chunks. In return, Hex initially offers the winner a brand-new pig, until Sid states that according to the contract they signed, the winner would receive Hex's Magical Scepter. Hex reluctantly agrees and the contest begins. The player can play as several different characters, which fall into 3 separate categories of Bashers, Gliders, and Dashers - all of which have unique abilities that can allow access to short cuts throughout the map. As the player progresses, more of the characters can join the team and become playable.After completing several races and collecting all seven red meteor chunks, Hex's real plan of world domination becomes clear and the player must race Hex to his machine and destroy it. Upon doing so, Hex's machine is hit with a blast from the aforementioned magical scepter and the device explodes as Hex's plans are foiled. Initially no one is harmed in the explosion, but as Hex begins to remark about getting out unscathed, his magical scepter falls nearby and transforms him into a pig. Immediately following this, Hex's minions place a 1st prize blue ribbon on the now pig-Hex and carry him and his scepter to the player's character as their prize. Upset, Hex vows that he will be back just before the game's end credits roll.
