Different track surfaces, which include sand, mud, and ice, have no effect on vehicle handling at all, and that holds true if you stray off of the track onto grass or snow. Walls that are either invisible or plastered with forest textures prevent you from straying too far, but they're overly punishing because contact with them invariably results in your truck getting stuck in them until you either reverse back out or manage to turn out of them while stuttering forward. Oddly, your truck stutters in a similar way for no discernable reason on the requisite ice track; the effect is that you appear to be making small jumps forward in much the same way that opponents with slow Internet connections do in some online racing games.
Stuttering aside, Bigfoot Collision Course runs smoothly, though that's no great feat given the simplistic visuals and lack of speed. Unfortunately, the quality of the audio is entirely in keeping with the quality of every other aspect of the game. Whereas you might expect a throaty roar of engines, you get what sounds like a troublesome lawnmower, and though all of the locations in the game could conceivably be in the United States, the soundtrack seems designed to give the impression that you're touring the world or something. Rock, tribal, and Indian restaurant are among the music genres poorly represented here, but given the quality of the engine noise, the optional music is the lesser of two evils.
Even with its budget price tag, Bigfoot Collision Course is a game that you should steer clear of. There's barely two hours of content here even if you manage to lose a few races along the way, and the very idea of a racing game with no multiplayer at all is laughable. Spend your money on a VHS copy of the Bigfoot and the Muscle Machines cartoon series before you spend it on this.
