We talk about ejecting items more in the Tips section below. This indicates the item can be ejected before it runs its course. For some items, once this icon is activated, it will turn into a white arrow. This indicates what item you have available-tapping the icon/button will activate that item. Once you’ve picked up an item you will have an icon on the right side of your screen. Item boxes reload pretty quickly, so if you come back to that area in about 20 seconds, there should be a new item box waiting. If you drive over an item box you will see it turn into the light immediately after. If you see white lights on the road with a blue circle around them, this indicates an area that usually has an item box on it, but it has been picked up recently. If you drive into one you will receive a random item. While driving around the map, there will also be a lot of blue, floating boxes with question marks on them.

(For instance, if your mission is to destroy so many cars and you destroy someone, that mission icon will appear with an updated total.) You may sometimes see tiny gray icons pop up on your vehicle: these are your current missions and they pop up when you add toward their completion total or finish them entirely. On your own vehicle, you’ll see your currently collected crowns as a number (or no number if you haven’t collected any yet), followed by your username, followed by your current health displayed as a segmented bar. Whichever arrow/number has a crown over it is currently the crown leader. The color of the arrow indicates their vehicle’s health: a green arrow means full or nearly full health while red indicates they are near-destruction. The number above the arrow is how many crowns they have collected. These are other players’ vehicles the arrows are pointing out their location in relation to your current position. For starters, you’ll probably see a lot of colorful arrows with names and numbers above them.

When you first fall into a match, things can be a bit overwhelming. Collecting as many crowns as possible, and then reaping the related coin reward, is the only goal. You might find yourself back in the exact same match with some of the same opponents if you keep playing since the games are endless. There’s no “destroy all enemies” type goal since new players will constantly enter the match as others drop out. Matches never really end-once your vehicle is destroyed in some fashion, you will leave the match and earn coins based on how many crowns you collected. If you also see a crown above this number, it means you have collected the most crowns out of the current batch of players and are essentially in first place. The amount of crowns you have collected will be displayed as a number above your vehicle (above your username). To collect a crown, simply drive over it. The crowns are basically the points for the match. Your goal is to collect the golden crowns scattered around the map.
