About
TrackMania, officially known as Trackmania since 2020, is a series of racing games for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Series S, Nintendo DS, and Wii developed by Ubisoft Nadeo and Firebrand Games. In TrackMania the player can create their own tracks using a "building block" process similar to games that existed before TrackMania, such as the 1984 game Excitebike, the 1985 game Racing Destruction Set, and the 1990 game Stunts. The tracks are saved as 3D files, specifically as a .gbx file, which is also how replays are saved.
TrackMania games typically have a time trial format, with medals awarded for beating set times in single-player mode, as well as the ability to submit times to various online rankings. Players may choose to respawn (retire) after crossing a checkpoint, for example if they land upside down, leave the track, get off to a poor start, or want to improve their position. Multiplayer races operate as concurrent time trials; players' cars visibility can be turned on and off on the same track at the same time, but cannot physically interact with one another.
