After each race, you'll earn credits that you can use to upgrade your little machine. Factors such as tires, turbo, brakes, and your engine can be augmented, though, truth be told, the actual effects are a little on the abstract side; sure, you'll feel your car go faster, turn easier, and whatnot, but after the first few upgrades, you'll be so far ahead of the competition that any other enhancements just seem vainglorious. The truth is, it is quite possible to beat this game every time you play it, provided you have the time and desire to do so.
All in all, Tonka Raceway is a fun, albeit light racer. Everything moves at decent tempo, and the rumble effects are solid. If R/C Pro-Am didn't exist, this game would probably be taken a bit more seriously. As is, Tonka Raceway is just a light rehash of a more solid title, perhaps aimed at a younger, less demanding audience.
