How to Unlock Trace 'n' Drift
Finish Seabiscuit Trailblaze Mission
To unlock Trace 'n' Drift, players must complete the Seabiscuit Trailblaze Mission. This is part of the In Our Time mission series.

If you're at Trailblaze Level 21 or higher, it's possible to unlock the event without clearing the pre-requisite mission above! Finality's Vision will temporarily be available during the event period to let you start the event early.
How to Increase Your Trailblaze Level Fast
Talk to the Competition Organizer
Head to the SoulGlad Scorchsand Audition Venue and look for the Competition Organizer near the Crimson Calyx. Upon talking to her, she'll prompt you to get ready for the race and start the tutorial for the event's mechanics!

After completing all tracks in a stage, you can immediately unlock the next one. Finishing the Grand Finale will also change it into the Challenge Race stage, wherein you can try to get faster speed records on the same tracks!
Trace 'n' Drift Qualifier Round 1
| Track I | Track II |
|---|---|
 |
 |
In Qualifier Round 1, your race car will be the Sea Hunter Shark. You can use this car's ability to launch missiles at other racers or obstacles. In both tracks, there are Unidentified Dolls that you can destroy using this ability to get onto alternative lanes.
You'll also want to have reserve Skill points to shoot down other racers who manage to get ahead of you. Be careful not to collide with those who are stunned by your missiles, however, as this will also slow you down!
Trace 'n' Drift Qualifier Round 2
| Track I | Track II |
|---|---|
 |
 |
For Qualifier Round 2, you'll be using the Trailblazer-themed car. This car's skill lets you activate a Speed Boost that makes you go even faster for much longer. Despite the car's high Speed, it also has low Stability, so you must avoid the obstacles as much as possible.
Try to collect as many Skill Bottles as you can so you can consistently use the car's Nitrous Boost. You'll also want to take the upper lanes on both tracks to get to the finish line much faster.
Trace 'n' Drift Qualifier Round 3
| Track I | Track II |
|---|---|
 |
 |
In Qualifier Round 3, The Hertadore will be your race car. The Hertadore's skill makes you invincible and even extends the skill's duration whenever colliding with obstacles or other racers.
With this, you should switch lanes as needed to hit as many obstacles as you can while the skill is active. This will allow you maintain your invincibility and the slight speed boost that you get from the car's skill.
Trace 'n' Drift Semifinals
| Track I | Track II | Track III |
|---|---|---|
 |
 |
 |
For the Semifinals, you'll be using Thirteen Orphans as your race car. This car's skill provides random effects such as speed boosts or invincibility. There's even a chance you can get both or none of them.
However, all tracks will have an abundance of Skill Bottles, so be sure to keep your points up to consistently activate your skill. If you manage to get invincibility, you can also knock down obstacles to further extend its duration.
Trace 'n' Drift Grand Finale
| Track I | Track II | Track III |
|---|---|---|
 |
 |
 |
In the Grand Finale, you can choose your race car this time. Thirteen Orphans will also be good for this stage since it can help you get through the track much faster without the obstacles being too much of a hindrance.
Since the obstacles and Skill Bottles are more spaced out on the final tracks, you'll need to make the most out of your skill's uptime and use your points only when you notice that the skill is about to end.
How to Play Trace 'n' Drift
Trace 'n' Drift Gameplay
- Step 1: Compete in the "Speed Cup" Spheroid Speed Tournament
- Step 2: Conquer Different Racetracks
- Step 3: Unlock Different Spheroid Racecars
- Step 4: Break Records in Challenge Race Mode
Compete in the Speed Cup
Spheroid Speed Tournament
Trace 'n' Drift is an event where you must pilot a Spheroid race car and race against others in the "Speed Cup" Spheroid Speed Tournament!
Conquer Different Racetracks
Each stage will have a different racetrack with different types of boosts and obstacles. You can switch to different lanes as you race through the track to gain speed boosts or avoid obstacles that can slow you down. Conquer these tracks to become the best Spheroid Driver!
Types of Boosts on the Racetrack
| Boost | Effect |
|---|---|
 Acceleration Zone |
Gives a temporary speed boost upon passing through it |
 Skill Bottles |
Charges points that lets you use your car's Skill |
 Speed Boost Bottles |
Charges your Energy to activate Speed Boosts |
Try to obtain as many boosts as you can during the race to speed up and overtake the other competitors with ease. Watch out for Deceleration Zones, Unidentified Dolls, and Sponsor Billboards as bumping into or passing through them will slow you down!
Unlock Different Spheroid Race Cars
You will unlock different Spheroid Racecars as you move forward in the tournament. Each racecar has unique stats and skills that might be preferable over the other depending on the racetrack.
A car's Speed determines how fast the car can run while the car's Stability determines the slowing effect upon colliding into obstacles or other racers. Cars with higher Stability are less slowed down by these collisions.
All Spheroid Race Cars and Skills
| Spheroid | Stats & Skill |
|---|---|
 Sea Hunter Shark |
Unlocked by Default Speed: 7/10 Stability: 6/10 Shatter Bomb Launch missiles toward targets ahead to destroy obstacles or disrupt other racers. |

Break Records in Challenge Race Mode
After winning the Grand Finale and completing the tournament, you can unlock the Challenge Race mode, where you can test out your racing skills even more and reach for better personal records!
The racetracks in Challenge Race mode will be the same as the ones from the Grand Finale. If you're trying to beat the times on the leaderboard, you may want to try using faster cars like the upgraded Trailblazer car or Thirteen Orphans!
