THE CONTROLLER GETS A PIT PASS

We were pretending a controller could get around the garage. It could, technically. In practice, the Pit Shop was a wall of lovely things with no clear answer to the most important question: which shiny thing am I about to buy?

The Super Slot Car Pit Shop with a bright amber and cyan corner selector framing the leftmost card, while the controller legend is visible in the lower-right corner. — There. That one. The card with the dangerous optimism and the price tag.

Now the D-pad walks across every card, hardware tile, the scrap desk and the exit, with an animated corner frame bolted around the current choice. A buys it. No mouse audition required.

The same pass puts X, Y and B directly on three-way offers, gives world-map roads a proper target ring, and adds a little set of corner brackets while the right stick pans the map. During the race, the D-pad can now continue down the timing board through your stats, hardware and live effects, with a plain-English readout alongside. Start pauses; RT reveals the track during a draft and skips a post-race reward.

Small print: prices, stock and race rules have not changed. We have only removed the part where your thumbs had to ask permission from your mouse.
