If the players get a certain number of points, a new bike design is unlocked. Depending on which place they finish, they receive points. World Rally includes an online component, allowing players to play anonymously over the internet, or with friends in a similar fashion to Mario Kart Wii. Races take place throughout different fictional tracks around the world, and include locales from London, America, Japan and Mexico. Getting an S rank will unlock a new bike color. Only gaining a rating of B or higher will allow the player to progress to the next stage. As in Excite Truck and Excitebots, the game features ranks players by S, A, B, C, and D grades which are determined by how well the player performs in races. The player's bike has two options, an accelerator and a turbo function, the latter increases the player's engine temperature and overheating will cause the player's bike to stall.
