Summary
The show is largely similar to its forerunner, with new quizzes, mods, and CGI race environments, as well as Reiana making an appearance in each episode. The winner of each episode's race receives a music video of their choice at the conclusion of the race. Music videos are typically 3 to 5 minutes long, with a few of the songs being sung by the main characters (despite Reiana being the star of most of the videos).

Questionmaster

 * Kerwhizzitor moderates the quiz, asks the questions, makes bad puns and rhymes and always tries to keep the teams in order. Kerwhizzitor commentates in the race world sequences,.

Contestants

 * Reiana Smiley acts as the 4th contestant and the solo team of the series, since she doesn't have a animal companion. Her first attire consists of a long-sleeved black shirt under a blue jacket dress with black embellishments, black leggings, boots, a headband, and gloves. Her jacket dress, headpiece, gloves, and boots were originally entirely blue in seasons 1 to 2, but in season 3, they were given a three-toned color effect to represent the team's colors. Her attire was eventually modified in season 6, becoming a black tank top over a green vest, green shorts, and green ankle boots. She also receives a green leaf as a team logo.


 * Team Ninki comprises Ninki (voice: Kriselle Basilio), a dark-skinned girl with bunches and a mid-European accent, who often does vocal exercises after each episode due to her terrible singing voice (although while introducing her team at the beginning of each episode she sings well); and Pip, a green-furred dog somewhat resembling a Scottish terrier with an extendable metal neck. Pip can't speak, but can often shape his barks and growls into an approximation of words. At times, he growls in frustration when Ninki fails to hear him when he gets a question right and offers her own wrong answer instead. Team colour: yellow. Team logo: yellow star.


 * Team Twist comprises Twist (voice: Alex Velleman), a highly confident, if not overconfident, blond boy with a fixation for style; and Snout (voice: Jermaine Woods, not credited on series 2) who resembles an orange-furred, two-legged woolly mammoth with a plastic trunk, and has a fixation of his own, with sprouts. In the episode "Planet Snout" the eponymous planet is revealed to be his homeworld and the origin of his vegetable obsession. It is also revealed that Snout has two nephews, Rocco and Ricco. Team colour: blue. Team logo: blue spiral.


 * Team Kit comprises Kit (voice: Telka Donyai), a fair-skinned girl with blue hair whose confidence in her abilities is as great as Twist's, occasionally causing some girl-boy rivalry between them; and Kaboodle (voice: Yasmin Garrad), who is basically a furry ball with a face, two conical plastic ears/antennae, and a springy conical plastic leg. She appears to be less mature than the other racers, and often requires emotional support from Kit. Team colour: pink. Team logo: pink lightning bolt.

Question hosts
These characters appear in the flash-animated question sequences. None of them speak, since the questions are all read by Kerwhizzitor. In many episodes they, or characters based on their designs, also appear in CGI form in the race world sequences, where they are much bigger than the human contestants.
 * Natterjack the toad presents two questions per episode based on picture recognition. A typical question might involve the teams identifying one of four pictures that is identical to one that Natterjack has drawn.
 * Burping Herbert the burpasaur presents one question based on visual memory. This typically involves Herbert eating one of several objects and the teams having to choose which one it was from four alternatives.
 * King Pong the skunk presents "Hunt the Skunk", in which he hides in or behind four objects in rapid succession, and has Pip, Snout and Kaboodle decide which object was his last hiding place in order to win the Mystery Mod. King Pong's appearance is always heralded by a smelly green vapour. Occasionally he is replaced by his relatives, such as the pirate Long Pong Silver (who smells even worse), or by Queen Pong or Princess Pong (who both smell very nice and produce fragrant pink vapour).
 * Kat Kool the cat presents "Kat Kool's Sound Round", one question based on auditory memory. Typically Kat Kool or his band will play a tune, and then has the teams choose which of four alternative tunes matches.
