Recharges are also commonly found before the ability's usage, such as jumps for the Ruiner 2000. If the ability is active and the player hits the recharge pad, the ability will continue without the player having to reactivate it, particularly useful when used in a chain (repeated pads one after another, seen present in many Rocket Voltic races). The Recharge pad is yellow and instantly recharges the vehicle's ability. The new races also add new props available in the Creator, including the Ability Recharge pad, which assumes a similar design to the green Boost pad featuring arrows.
The races are adapted to allow for fast-paced racing while still accommodating their individual abilities, such as the Ruiner 2000's jump functionality and paragliding technique, the Rocket Voltic's powerful rocket boost ability, and the Blazer Aqua's ability to transition from water to land easily. Special Vehicle Stunt Races are specialized stunt races that are based around the unique abilities the Rocket Voltic, Blazer Aqua and Ruiner 2000 each have.
