Colourways: how they work and what they cost

  • Colourways are bought in the Hangar with coins, and only for something you own: coins paint the collection, they never skip it.
  • The price is the slot, not the item: the first colourway of any plane or trail costs 200, the second 400 and the third 800 coins.
  • The Millionaire’s three colourways (plane and trail) cost 100,000 each.
  • The four medal ribbons have none: their colour is the medal.
  • Every plane colourway (the Millionaire’s aside): 25,200 coins. Every plane and trail colourway together: 46,200.
  • A colourway is yours for good, and is worn separately on each plane.

Rules worth knowing

  • Level rewards are not handed over on their own: reaching the level makes them claimable in Profile · Rewards.
  • Everything else unlocks at the end of the run that meets its condition, and is painted in on the next menu. The results card shows the 3 unlocks you are closest to.
  • Runs in Slow mode count for unlocks.
  • Halloween items can only be earned during the event (19 October – 8 November), from its launch on 19 October 2026. What you earn stays for good.
  • In Race each player picks any of their own planes.
  • See also the trails and how much XP it takes in levels and rewards.
