With the epic single player Mega Quest, unlockable characters for Grand Prix and both local and online multiplayer, Raskulls is a massive package full of awesome content.

Mega Quest stars King, Dragon and Ninja as they travel across the world to thwart the evil Pirats in their attempts to steal the legendary Shiny Stone.

Multiplayer features 16 levels in which players race their way to the finish line in both online and split-screen games. Use items like Flame Charge, Thunder Staff and even the awesome Mega Zap to decimate your fellow Raskulls and take the crown.
