  2. You can change the following settings. When more than one player is playing on the same system, each player can change these settings for themselves.
    • Smart Steering: Can be turned on or off. Turn on to make it easier to drive without falling off the course.
    • Auto-Accelerate: Can be turned on or off. Turn on to automatically accelerate during races without needing to hold a button.
