Traffic mode is a race between two participants in the streets of Paris requiring the player to avoid oncoming traffic.

Trial mode requires the player to maneuver an obstacle course on a motorcycle. Freestyle gives the player a time-limit to perform as many tricks as possible for points. Supercross/Motocross uses dirt tracks with hills in races designed to make driving difficult. The courses in the mode are set so the player can gain speed. Speed mode places the player in courses with long straights and slight curves, in order to allow the driver to reach the high speeds. The game does not have a career mode, but instead contains many race modes: speed, Supercross/ Motocross, Freestyle, Trial, and Traffic.


The player controls a motorcyclist in races on various terrain. Moto Racer 3 uses different types of terrain in its races, including pavement.
