This racing game is set in the Ramsay Street universe…

Nominally you play Scott Robinson, riding his skateboard in races against between one and four fellow characters – Mike Young on another skateboard, Charlene Ramsay in a go-kart, her brother Henry on a lawnmower, and Matt Robinson on a motorcycle. The eight races take in Ramsay Street, the Lassiter’s Complex, Erinsborough High School, and Anson’s Corner.

… hazards include kangaroos, emus and other animals, Bouncer the dog, Mrs. Mangel, and traffic bollards.

Surely this is all made up!
