The Steam page lists more of Takahashi's contributions than the human body course. According to the developer's announcement on Steam, he produced artworks for worlds with giant sheep, pigeons, bats, skeletons, and giant legs growing from the ground. Those sit alongside the game's own settings of heaven, hell, and the cat kingdom.

Races put 100 cars on course at once, the player's among them. Between runs, players pick the next course and choose upgrades, so route and ability decisions carry as much weight as driving. The 15% discount runs through Sunday, November 22.
