TrackMania is a series of racing games for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Series S, Nintendo DS, and Wii developed by Ubisoft Nadeo and Firebrand Games. Instead of following the usual trend of choosing a set car and track to play the game, in TrackMania the players can create their own tracks using a "building block" process similar to games that existed before the first TrackMania game, such as the 1984 game Excitebike, the 1985 game Racing Destruction Set, and the 1990 game Stunts.
'''Trackmania''' is a series of racing games developed by [[Nadeo]], where players race against the clock to set the fastest times on highly varied tracks. It is known for its unique blend of speed, stunts, and user-generated content.


TrackMania games typically have a time trial format, with medals awarded for beating set times in single-player mode, as well as the ability to submit times to various online rankings. Players may choose to respawn (retire) at any time, for example if they land upside down, leave the track or get off to a poor start. Multiplayer races operate as concurrent time trials; players' cars are visible on the same track at the same time, but cannot physically interact with one another.
