==Gameplay==
==Gameplay==
[[File:Chicken_Race_gameplay.PNG|thumb|left]]The player plays as a chicken racer that must press and hold A button to charge his electric car and then release it in time when his car is fueled up to 4-16 beats. After that, he will go and reach to another land while the platforms will fall apart when you touch any of them, giving a game over. If you fuel his car too much while doing nothing, the car will explode and make him a roast chicken, you will have to redo the cue all over again without losing a life. Each counting beat have a different speed timing, the last counting numbers will have a muted music and the counting numbers won't show up during some levels. The scenery will change the background sometimes to day and night, space or even another dimension if you reach far enough.
The player must charge up [[Mr. Chicken]]'s electric car so he can make it across a bridge to the next location. The player must charge the car for 4-16 beats, with each beat fueling the car for another yard. Later on, the counter is not shown, requiring the player to count on their own. After releasing the pump, the electric car zooms off across a stone bridge, which begins to fall. The objective is to charge the car such that it stops on the piece of land on the other side, where the cycle continues. The tempo and music change later on to throw off the player. The player is given a set amount of lives depending on the difficulty, which cannot be recovered.
Several islands are described as one of many real world locations, but the island themselves are indistinguishable. As the game continues, the scenery changes from day and night, and even change to space (giving Mr. Chicken a helmet) or even another dimension.
