Air Racer courses, medals, planes and paints
Air Racer has nine courses in three places. Each one is a new line of gates, and later courses add loops, a bridge and a stone arch. Here is what you find on each course, how to open the next one, and what your medals and coins can buy.
All nine courses
| # | Course | Place | Gates | What makes it special | Who can fly it |

How to unlock new courses
The courses open one after another. Finish a course, with any time, to unlock the next one. You can fly a finished course again as often as you like. The Courses page in the menu shows every course with its number of gates and a small map of its route.
Medal times for the free courses
Each course has four medals. The times include any extra seconds from penalties.
| Course | Bronze | Silver | Gold | Author |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Harbour Sprint | 42.5 s | 39 s | 36.5 s | 34.6 s |
| Fjord Slalom | 62 s | 56 s | 52 s | 49 s |
| Waterfall Loop | 64 s | 57 s | 52 s | 48.5 s |
The result screen tells you how much faster you need to fly for the next medal.
Coins for medals
| Medal | Coins the first time |
|---|---|
| Bronze | 300 |
| Silver | 600 |
| Gold | 1,200 |
| Author | 2,500 |
A new medal also pays any lower medals you skipped. Your first finish without penalties on a course pays 100 coins more. Winning the same medal again pays a tenth of its prize. Crashes and practice flights pay nothing. Coins are only earned by flying: there is nothing to buy with real money in the game.
Planes in the Hangar
| Plane | Price | What it is like |
|---|---|---|
| Trainer | Free | Gentle turns. A good place to start. |
| Racer | 2,500 coins | Quick and steady. |
| Aerobat | 7,000 coins | Fast rolls and tight turns. |
| Pro Racer | 10,000 coins | The fastest plane. Keep a steady hand! |
Open the Hangar with B, or from the menu. Each plane card shows its speed, roll, turn power and G limit. Your race times are kept for each plane.
Paints for your plane
Your plane starts with the Standard paint. Win gold on all three courses of a place to unlock a new one:
- Sunset: gold on all three Fjord courses
- Ocean: gold on all three Coast courses
- Champion: gold on all three Canyon courses
