Omni-Nodes[]
- Enemy Vine: The Enemy Vine Omni-Node drops a pile of Florauna seeds onto the track that sprout of series Wildvine tendrils near the lead racer to slow them down. (Not on DS)
- Stink Stank Stuck: Using Lepidopterran DNA like Stinkfly, this Omni-Node lays down a patch of super-sticky slime on the track that slows down any kart that drives through it. (Not on DS)
- Way Bigger: Way Bigger uses DNA from Way Big's species, To'kustar, to shrink all of the other racers on the track to half size and reduce their top speed. While the power is active, the Way Bigger racer becomes invulnerable, and can drive on any terrain without slowing down. (Not on DS)
- EMP (electromagnetic pulse): The EMP Omni-Node harnesses the electromagnetic powers of Lodestar to create an energy pulse that knocks all nearby karts out of the way.
- Goop Slick: The Goop Slick Omni-Node releases an anti-gravity projector that hold up a blob of Goop's slime. When a kart hits the Goop Slick, it spins out of control.
- Shard Mine: The Shard Mine is based from Diamondhead's powers. When released, it creates a crystalline mine that explodes when a kart hits it, affecting all nearby karts. (Not on DS)
- Neuroshock Blast: This Omni-Node allows a racer to fire a Neuroshock Blast just like Jetray's (but goes very straight and can easily be avoided). All karts caught in its blast are flipped over. (Not on DS)
- Omni-Not: This Omni-Node used Ditto's DNA to create a fake Omni-Node and drop it on the track. When the racer hits an Omni-Not, his kart flips.
- Splash: The Splash Omni-Node is based from Water Hazard's DNA. It fires a fast-moving ball of water that locks onto an enemy kart and hits it, blasting it into the air. (Not on DS)
- Accelerate: Infused with Kineceleran DNA, the Accelerate Omni-Node briefly lets a racer move as fast as XLR8. When activated, it also leaves behind a powerful whirlwind that can cause other karts to spin-out. (Not on DS)
- Spectrum Blast: Using Chromastone's DNA, this Omni-Node fires an ultraviolet blast that temporarily blinds the racer in the target kart, making it difficult for them to drive.
- Ultimate: The Ultimate Omni-Node releases a burst of power that make a racer temporarily invulnerable to bumps and attacks, and allows them to move at tremendous speed for a short time. (Not on DS)
DS-Only Omni-Nodes[]
- XLR8: Same as Accelerate
- Codon Slurry: Causes a trail of green slime to follow the player's kart for a few seconds. Any racer who touches it will spin out.
- Neuro Blast: Same as Neuroshock Blast
- Mana Shield: Three panels of mana surround the kart. They increase collision effects by 25%.
- Quake: Drops several large rocks onto the track behind the player.
- Goop'd: Same as Goop Slick
- Rust Time: Fires a "time ray" that covers another kart with rust, rendering them almost immobile for a few seconds.

Trivia[]
- This is the first game in the series:
- To be a racing game
- Released for PSVita and the 3DS
- Without Gwen
- The credits dedicate the game to Dwayne McDuffie.
- Zs'Skayr has Big Chill's "That's cold, man!" quote, albeit in his own voice.
- Technically, both Zs'Skayr and Ghostfreak are playable.
- Zs'Skayr is playable while selecting the character, even though he calls himself Ghostfreak in the game.
- Ghostfreak is only playable when the player chooses Ben as the playable character in order to transform into Ghostfreak. This is much more apparent in the DS version because Ghostfreak has his Original Series design while Zs'Skayr retains his Alien Force look.
- The achievement called "Terraspin Me Right Round" is a reference to the song You Spin Me Round (Like a Record) by Dead or Alive.
- Some special edition copies of the DS version came with a free glow in the dark Rath action figure.
Game Features[]
- If the player presses the accelerate button just after the narrator says '2', they get a quick burst of speed. However, if the player accelerates a little earlier than mentioned, their kart gets stuck for about 2 seconds. This is identical to the "Rocket Start" strategy from the Mario Kart games.
- On the consoles and the 3DS, the game randomizes which alien Ben should transform into, but on the DS version, the player chooses it.
