Took me about an hour and a half to clear all the stages, at which point it loops and just continues getting harder. The compilation allows you to continue from the any stage up to and including the furthest stage you've made it to.
There's just something about driving and racing games where your competitors all have death wishes and do nothing but try to crash into you that really irks me. This game is basically a variation on Pac-Man, where you have to drive and collect the 10 flags on each stage while avoiding the other cars and boulders before you run out of fuel. After every 3 stages is a challenge stage where the other cars don't start moving until you run out of fuel, and then there's a new layout. There are 15 stages total before it loops. Unlike Pac-Man, you can only see part of the stage, with a featureless radar-like map to the right showing where all the flags and cars are. So, you pretty much have to really get to know the stage layout to have any real success. You do have a smokescreen that can temporarily disable the other cars. The flags and boulders are randomly placed, so you can luck into a beneficial layout, which is how I cleared several of the later stages.
