Cups and unlocking
The Brass Cup is open from the start. Finish a cup on the podium (top 3) at any difficulty to unlock the next one, all the way to the Grand Finale. Pick Rehearsal, Concert or Virtuoso difficulty. ⏱ Time Trial lets you race alone against the clock and your own ghost lap, and the 🏆 Trophy Room keeps your trophies and best times.
Saving
Your unlocked cups, trophies, best times, ghost laps, name and settings are saved automatically on your device.
Saves stay on the device they were made on. They are not synced between devices, and deleting the app deletes them. You can clear your records with ↺ Reset in the Trophy Room.
No sound?
- Turn up the volume, and check that your device is not in Silent mode (the Ring/Silent switch or Action button).
- Open ⚙ Settings and check that the Music and Sound effects sliders are turned up.
- If sound stops after a phone call or after switching apps, close and reopen the app.
Running slowly or getting warm?
