How to earn money and upgrade your ATV
CheckEach map has checkpoints to hit, and completing a map pays out in-game money. All eight maps are open without spending real money, so you can work through everything purely on checkpoint earnings.
- Hit every checkpoint in a map before moving on to the next.
- Replay maps you have already finished money and distance both keep accumulating on repeat runs.
Distance badges and how to stack them
Tips
The game tracks your total distance traveled in studs — Roblox's unit of measurement. A badge unlocks at every 1,000 studs, starting at 1,000 and topping out at 10,000.
- You earn a new distance badge at each 1,000-stud milestone, from Rolling Start all the way to Legend of the Road at 10,000 studs.
- Replaying maps to chase money also piles on distance, so the two goals work together.
Hunting hidden badges
Tips
Western Cliffs, Sakura Routes, and Sandy Beaches each hide a secret spot away from the main path. Finding it in each map earns a unique badge — Cliff Secrets, Hidden Blossom, and Buried Treasure respectively.
- Return to a map you have already completed and treat badge hunting as the only goal for that session.
- Explore off the checkpoint route — the hidden spots are not visible from the normal path.
- Split a map with friends so each person covers a different zone.
