Behind the colorful tracks and power-ups, racing games use a system of invisible checkpoints to track player progress. For a lap to register:
: Using a mushroom or a specific collision glitch, a player jumps over a wall or across a void to bypass the majority of the course.
: After landing near the finish line, the player must often drive backward to touch the Last Key Checkpoint before crossing the finish line forward to "lock in" the lap.
: A track that usually takes two minutes can be completed in under 20 seconds, provided the game’s logic is satisfied by that final checkpoint. Evolution in Game Design
