In The Cheetah, players mainly aim to complete various challenges such as racing, gathering resources, and overcoming obstacles to progress through levels and unlock new abilities or items.

Speed boosts can be gained by performing stunts or collecting special items during the race. Timing your moves well will give you an edge over your opponents.

To win against opponents, practice your controls for better maneuverability, learn the tracks for shortcuts, and utilize power-ups effectively to gain advantages during competitive races.

To upgrade your character, follow these steps: 1. Go to the main menu. 2. Select the 'Upgrades' option. 3. Choose the character you want to upgrade. 4. Spend resources or points accumulated from gameplay to enhance abilities.

Special items include speed boosts, shields, and traps. Each item serves a different purpose: speed boosts enhance your pace, shields protect against attacks, and traps can hinder opponents. Collecting and strategically using these items can significantly improve your gameplay experience.
