Rails are blocks on which you can place carts and ride on them. When placed, rails connect nicely to neighbor rails. This also works when the rails are not placed on the same level.

There are 3 types of rails: Rail, Powered rail and Brake rail. Use powered rails to achieve maximum speed, and brake rails to slow down.

You can punch cart when riding it to move forward and change your direction with A, D keys, or slow down with S.
