Checkpoint Race

In Checkpoint Races, players have to race against other opponents while snagging all the Checkpoints and then cross the Finish Line in order to win. Players have the option of choosing their own route to snag all the checkpoints the fastest, but must be aware that other opponents may do the same.

Midtown Madness
In Midtown Madness, Checkpoint races take place in Chicago. Racers will have to start in certain locations and will have to race through a course in the city. There will be a fixed number of opponents and checkpoints for each race. The player can choose their own route or follow other opponents. The races can involve traffic, cops, and pedestrians. The locations can be any interesting landmark in the city and racers may have to pass through certain tunnels and special locations in order to win the race. For example, in Soldier Sneaker, the player can pass through the Solider Field in order to snag a couple checkpoints quickly. Opponents may have their own plans of picking a route to snag the checkpoints faster than other opponents. The Finish Line will reveal itself once the player passes through all the checkpoints. The weather conditions are varied depending on each race. The races can be longer as the player progresses and can get much more difficult with more matching opponents. In Professional, players must finish 1st. In Amateur, players mush finish either 1st, 2nd, or 3rd. The game starts with the first three races and the next three can be unlocked after the player wins the preceding ones.

Trivia

 * In Midtown Madness, most races have the next checkpoint races happening to start at the Finish Line of the previous race.
 * For some reason, in Midtown Madness 1, no specific quotes for unlocking the Ford Mustang Cruiser are heard. Instead, the general quotes used for unlocking races and vehicles are heard.
 * Quotes in Midtown Madness 2 for Checkpoint races are more generalized rather than for specific races like in Midtown Madness 1.
