In a brief pitch, the equation tends to be ''[[Mario Kart]]'' + ''[[Little Big PlanetLittleBigPlanet]]'', a racing game that takes the realistic yet fun driving system and doubling it up with the ability to [[Level Editor|create tracks]], Mods (The Drivers) and Karts, each and every one of those goes more in depth than ''[[Track Mania]]'' even, and adds so much to the driving aspect to hold up on its own.
 
It was released on May 21st21, 2010 in Europe and May 25th in the United States.
 
The game itself follows this sort of Urban Vinyl style of figurines which the developers have seen and by which they were inspired. They explain it as the sort of thing that proved itself a blank canvas for artistic potential.
 
This game was announced at [[E3]] 2009.

{{tropelist}}
The game features examples of these tropes:
* [[Aw, Look -- They Really Do Love Each Other|Aww Look, They Really Do Like Each Other]]: [http://blog.us.playstation.com/2011/11/14/modnation-racers-road-trip-track-studio-your-wish-is-our-command/ This] Playstation Blog post reveals that Biff and Gary carpool to and from work.
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Gary <s>Raisins</s> Reasons.
Line 36:
'''Biff:''' ''Booyah!'' }}
* [[Kill It with Fire]]: The Vita version adds fire to the power ups you can aquire, and what happens when you reach Level 3? You fire a gigantic Phoenix of course.
* [[Level Editor]]: It takes the [[Little Big PlanetLittleBigPlanet]] approach by making it the big selling point of the game, but there is also a very, very indepth Mod and Kart Studio in comparison to similar features in other games.
* [[Loads and Loads of Loading]]: A fairly common gripe. 45 second loads, anyone?
* [[Macross Missile Massacre]]: The level 3 missile powerup does this.
Line 42:
* [[Nitro Boost]]
* [[Nintendo Hard]]: Some of the bonus missions fall under this.
* [[Preorder Bonus]]: In addition to the first shipment including a code for a [[Little Big PlanetLittleBigPlanet|Sackboy]] Mod and Kart, depending on where the preorder was made. There were codes for [[God of War (series)|Kratos]], [[Uncharted Drakes Fortune|Nathan Drake]] or [[Ratchet and Clank]]. Some recieved a code for "Air Raid" DLC.
* [[Red Herring]]: Look at the picture at the top of the screen. See that guy in white standing in the foreground by the company logo? You think he's the final boss? Nope. He's not even an elite character. Who's the final boss? You see that guy in the background, flying in the air behind Tag? That's him.
* [[Rubber Band AI]]: While not as blatant as some racing games (at least to start with), it's definitely present.
