When choosing where to go at the fork in the path that follows not long after the falling chips, it can be difficult to tell just which way to go.
A third option is to fire a projectile weapon, which will safely eliminate the piece so that the player can continue driving or drifting without the need to alter their course. This allows the player to either dodge out of the way (hardly ideal) or to release a drift in the form of a boost that can knock through the pieces without taking any damage. The green portion of the track is riddled with chips that fall upon racers, harming them, but their shadows are telltale, appearing before they land.
