Features
In addition to wireless ad-hoc play, the game includes a new card element. Following each battle, the player earns a card. Cards come in three types: rival, battle and tuning. The rival and battle cards are mostly for show, giving details, respectively, on the characters and classic battles from the series, but also provide unlockable features when viewed. The tuning cards, however, contribute to gameplay, as players can combine these to customize their cars. In all, Street Stage features 185 cards to collect. Cards can also be traded to other players wirelessly through ad-hoc.
