Sno-Cat

You are a ranger driving a snowcat up the slope to the Mount Crumb ski lodge to rescue skiers. Trees come down the course at you; steer left and right around them, because touching one is a crash and ends the run. The snowcat shifts gears by itself, from second at the start to third after 10 seconds and fourth after 50, and the trees come faster with each gear. Hold the button to brake: the trees slow to a crawl, but the distance stops counting while the clock keeps running. Cover the 400 units of DISTANCE TO GO and the lodge comes into view. The score is the seconds under 300 times half the distance covered, plus a bonus for reaching the lodge that grows with the level, chosen from 1 to 9.

Controls: Use either controller. The stick steers left and right; hold either side button to brake. On the title, up and down choose, left and right set the level, and a button starts.
