What kind of terrain does the game have?
Mountains, coasts and open natural landscapes rather than laid-out tracks. The ground is the challenge, which is what makes monster trucks the appropriate vehicle for it.
What are the special ramps for?
Getting airborne. They are designed specifically for monster trucks, so hitting them is the intended way to jump rather than an exploit of the terrain.
Why is a monster truck the right vehicle here?
Because the terrain is built to defeat anything smaller. Steep climbs, broken coastal ground and oversized ramps all assume a vehicle with the clearance and weight of a monster truck, which is why the same course in a normal car would be impassable rather than merely hard.
What does the power key do?
It gives your truck an extra push, which matters most on the steep climbs the game builds its challenges around. Each player has one on a separate key.
Why do the physics matter so much here?
Because a monster truck is tall and heavy. Realistic handling means taking a slope at the wrong angle rolls you, so the climbs the game asks for are genuinely difficult rather than automatic.
