Drive Mad Worlds: Monster Truck, Winter and Space

When people talk about Drive Mad they usually mean the long Classic run. This build has more than that. The world select lists four single-player worlds, and three of them are short side sets built around a single theme. This post covers those three. It sticks to what the game shows and does not guess at the physics.

The four worlds at a glance

World	Levels	Notes
Classic	200	The main run, where most awards sit
Monster Truck	25	Themed around monster trucks
Winter	25	Snow-themed set
Space	15	The game's own tagline for it is "Spaaaaaace!"

That comes to 265 single-player levels. The VS mode comes on top of that, with its own cups. Any page that says Drive Mad has 100 levels is describing something else. In this build Classic alone has 200.

Monster Truck

The old title of this post promised a lesson on wheel sizes and suspension. That was never something the game explains, so instead here is what is actually in the game: a 25-level Monster Truck world. It lives alongside Classic as its own set, so you do not need to clear 200 Classic levels to try it. The controls stay the same as everywhere else in Drive Mad. Forward is Right arrow, Up arrow or D, the Left arrow goes the other way, and there is still no steering. The difference is the vehicle and the courses built around it.

Winter

Winter is another 25-level set. It suits a short session, because a 25-level world is something you can realistically finish in one sitting. That is not true of Classic.

Space

Space is the smallest world, with 15 levels. The game sums it up with a single word, "Spaaaaaace!". It is a short detour rather than a campaign.

How to choose where to play

• New to the game: start in Classic. Its first twenty levels (with names like First Gear and Back Up) teach the forward/back rhythm the other worlds assume.
• Stuck in Classic: switch to one of the side worlds for a while. Same controls, fresh courses.
• Short on time: Space has the fewest levels, then Winter and Monster Truck.
• Chasing awards: most award milestones in this build are tied to Classic level numbers, so the side worlds are for variety rather than completion goals.

Progress

Each world has its own level list, reached from the Levels button that appears on both the finish and crash screens. Your progress is kept in the browser you play in. If you clear site data or switch devices, it will not carry over.
