The general goal is to destroy all opponents apart from the other contestants, unique vehicles seemingly designed by the host themselves may stand in the competitors' path.

In almost all of the games, the host is a man called 'Calypso' however, in the series' fourth installment, perennial contestant Sweet Tooth briefly takes over.
