TrackMania is a racing video game developed by Ubisoft Nadeo and published by Focus Home Interactive. It is the first game in the TrackMania series. TrackMania includes some pre-constructed tracks that players can race on to unlock "coppers" the in-game currency. These can be used to buy different building blocks usually called "blocks" for their track including regular roads checkpoints long bends loop-the-loops and jumps which all snap to a grid automatically. Regular roads can be dragged to create straight sections as well as 90 degree corners. Most other blocks are automatically connected by placing them next to each other. There are three environments to choose from: Rally (Countryside) Snow (Alpine) and Desert (Speed) each of which offers a unique car and handling characteristics. There are also three modes: Race Puzzle and Survival each of which features an equal number of tracks for each environment. The "Survival" mode does not appear in the later games though Platform bears some slight similarities in map styles.
