Manipulate the mannequin and make it to the finish line at the bottom of the hill unharmed! This mannequin is very fragile. If you don't operate the mannequin gently, its hands and feet will be torn off or its head will fly off. There are big holes and steep downhill slopes, so be careful of your speed. Sometimes rivals will appear. Try not to lose to your rivals and aim for first place. As you progress in the game, you will be able to transform into a ski type or one with big wheels. If you progress further, you may be able to become a flying type with wings or just a ball. Once you transform, you can also become your favorite color. Create your own mannequin with your favorite transformations and your favorite colors!
