ModNation Racers features urban vinyl-styled charactersModNation Racers characters (called Mods) sport a vinyl style similar to the Munny figures. Progression through the career campaign unlocks items that can then be used to further customize your Mods, Karts, or Tracks creations. There is also split screen offline multiplayer for up to 4 players. The game features the aforementioned story campaign, single player and multiplayer modes via the PlayStation Network with up to 12 players, featuring matchmaking, leaderboards, friends list management, communication tools, and more.

Also, if a player downloads a track, they can "remix it" with a bit of their own style and re-upload it, sharing it with the community.

Players are able to download and play every level created by other players. After downloading and trying tracks, players can rate tracks, allowing other users to see which tracks are most popular. After creating their tracks, players can share them on the PlayStation Network. Although there are only 4, these power-ups can be upgraded twice, by simply collecting another power-up, to make for an even deadlier weapon. Combat racing with power-ups is also employed for offensive, combat-style driving, as is typical in the Kart racing genre, pioneered by Nintendo's Mario Kart series. Additionally, all in-game assets were created using these tools. The track creator also has an "Auto-Populate" feature, which adds visual features, such as trees and buildings, as well as gameplay features like boost pads, to your track automatically.
