Wiki · Paper Drift
All 20 Paper Drift trails and how to unlock them
Every trail, what earns it and all its colours. They only change how the plane looks, never how it flies. You can also fly with no trail at all.

- 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 trail colourway (the Millionaire’s aside): 21,000 coins. Every plane and trail colourway together: 46,200.
- A colourway is yours for good, and is worn separately on each trail.
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 planes and how much XP it takes in levels and rewards.
