They enable you to take flight and perform spectacular stunts in the air. The big change in Asphalt 8: Airborne is the addition of springboards scattered around the tracks. You can still use Nitro to boost your speed, you can always drift for miles, many items dot the road, etc. The Asphalt 8: Airborne gameplay is the same as in previous versions and is still arcade-style. A ranking system displays your world ranking and how you compare to your friends. And, finally, there's a multiplayer mode for online play with up to twelve players, and the highlight: multiplayer mode played against friends over WiFi.

As for game modes, there's first and foremost a complex career mode that lasts eight racing seasons and 180 events.
