Gameplay
''Lego Stunt Rally'' features driving with a
slot car-esque control; the player controls the acceleration and braking, but steering is controlled automatically (although the player can change lanes and influence how their vehicle takes corners). There are also
powerups which the player can pick up and use at any time, much like
kart racers.
The main feature of the game is the track editor, which allows the player to build their own tracks. When the game is first played, the editor will only have a selection of basic track pieces to work with, along with only two of the four environments. To gain more pieces and environment options, the player has to race in the game's career mode, including twenty-one races. When the player wins career events, they unlock new features for the editor, including powerups, environments, and track pieces.
