Story

 * The animation of the game's scenario, story, and characters are equivalent to the ones of Disney INFINITY.

Premise
Having retired from hosting gladiatorial battles in his kingdom out of boredom, the Grandmaster is now hosting the Intergalactic Grand Prix, an auto racing competition endorsed by the agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Nova Corps where the winner is to be declared the Galaxy's greatest traveler. Earth's superheroes and supervillains eventually participate the tournament, which also becomes a battle for the fate of the Universe when the grand prize is revealed to have a powerful link with the Infinity Stones, which some of the most powerful and dastardly villains participating the Grand Prix (including evil tyrants Doctor Doom and Thanos) are after.

Plot
In space, the Fantastic Four (Reed Richards / Mister Fantastic, Susan Storm / Invisible Woman, Johnny Storm / Human Torch, and Ben Grimm / the Thing) redeem the Silver Surfer, who helps them defeat his former master Galactus, and imprison him in the Negative Zone. Watching the event, the Grandmaster, ruler of Sakaar who had recently retired from hosting gladiatorial battles out of boredom, collects a fragment of Galactus's energy-harvesting devices, and uses it to create a trophy, which he chooses as the grand prize for the Intergalactic Grand Prix, a superhuman auto racing competition which is being endorsed by S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Nova Corps, and where the winner is to be declared the Galaxy's greatest traveler.

Two months later, the Fantastic Four and other superheroes (including Spider-Man and his gang, the Avengers and the Guardians of the Galaxy), were informed about the Grand Prix, and signed up for the competition. Supervillains (including tyrants like Thanos, Doctor Doom and Kang the Conqueror) are also participating after being convinced by the Grandmaster's brother Taneleer Tivan the Collector that the grand prize can harness the power of the Infinity Stones, prompting the heroes to work hard on the race, and ensure the Stones will be safe. During which, Spider-Man and Kamala Khan / Ms. Marvel discover the Silver Surfer having been separated from his surfboard (which was blasted into pieces during his latest battle against Galactus) and rendered powerless, and agree to help him recover.

As the heroes endure a series of racing matches, challenges and battles during the Grand Prix, they also recover the fragments of the Silver Surfer's surfboard, which supervillains are attempting to use for their advantage in the Grand Prix. They also work to collect the Infinity Stones, which are scattered across numerous areas in the contest. After the heroes defeat the supervillains in a match taking place in Thanos's home world of Titan, the Collector reveals to be in possession of the Power Stone and the last fragment of the Silver Surfer's board, and uses them to create his own super-powered vehicle, and search for the Grand Prix's grand prize (with which he plans to obtain and harness the Infinity Stones, and become the galaxy's mightiest being) in the Negative Zone.

Knowing that the board fragment and the Power Stone combined will revitalize Galactus, and free him from his imprisonment, the heroes pursue the Collector in a race across the Negative Zone, and defeat him, recovering the board fragment and the Power Stone, and escaping from the Negative Zone in time before Galactus is awakened. As the Collector is arrested by the Nova Corps, the heroes are declared winners of the Intergalactic Grand Prix. The Silver Surfer departs into space with his rebuilt board in good terms with the heroes, who decide to use the grand prize to contain the Stones' power, and send them back to the Heart of Infinity. Having enjoyed their adventure, they wage a friendly race to celebrate their victory.

Gameplay
Similar to other kart racing games like the Mario Kart franchise and Crash Nitro Kart, players compete in a number of tracks in races with twelve characters and vehicles. During the races, players can pick up Power-ups to gain advantage, or perform special techniques to gain a speed boost. Each character has a personalized projectile item (such as Spider-Man shooting webs, or Thor throwing his hammer) which can be obtained from power-up items, and a special ability (called an "Super Boost", based on the "All-Star Moves" from Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing and Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed) unique to them which they may use to their advantage (such as Spider-Man using web-gliders on his karts and Captain America ramming his opponents with his shield), which they can obtain if their power matter in the right corner of the screen is full. The gate matter is filled up by attacking and defeating opponents with the power-ups, performing successful air tricks, and/or collecting Stark Coins which are scattered around the tracks.

The Story Mode features a open world third-person platform adventure style (similar to Crash Tag Team Racing), where in which player (taking control of superheroes like Spider-Man, Ms. Marvel, Iron Man, and Hulk) explores the environment to interact with non-playable characters, collect items, and complete tasks to participate in racing events. Stark Coins can also be found in the environment, and used to unlock content from Princess Shuri's workshop.
