According to design director Gareth Wilson, the handheld title uses an engine that is “more optimised for that sort of platform.” It won’t include some modes such as Traffic Attack.

Racing Transformed’s engine isn’t the only reason why the team decided to hold back on certain modes.

Wilson explained:

“We got some children to come in and play [a level in which] you had to blow a tank up and dodge missiles and they didn’t really get that. We also had a mode where you had to dodge between lots of traffic and they kept getting run over really badly.”

So what will the 3DS version have? World Tour will be included, and online play is included. Compared to the Vita edition, however, it will have more straightforward game modes “like ‘beat people’s laptimes’ or ‘beat this particular character’.
