An example of a game system executes a racing game where a plurality of movement objects are moved in a course in a virtual space. The course includes a branch portion branching into a plurality of branch destinations, and the plurality of movement objects pass through the branch portion multiple times in progressing through the course. In the branch portion, a branch destination that a movement object is allowed to enter or a branch destination that the movement object is restricted from entering is switched in accordance with a degree of progress of the movement object in the racing game.

It is determined whether execution is to be carried out in a first mode or in a second mode, according to a user's selection operation. In the first mode, a movement of a player object is controlled according to the user's movement operation, and a movement of a non-player object is automatically controlled. Positions of the player object and the non-player object are changed according to the user's position changing operation such that a relative positional relationship between the player object and the non-player object for use in the second mode is a first positional relationship. In the second mode, movements of the player object and the non-player object are automatically controlled while maintaining the first positional relationship.

An in-game event occurring based on a user's input is detected in a game of each time, where the game is performed a plurality of times. A first parameter is increased or decreased based on the in-game event occurring in the game of each time, the first parameter being reset for the game of each time, to calculate a score in the game of each time. A second parameter is increased or decreased based on a result of the game determined based on an assessment parameter different from a final score, the second parameter being used in the game of the plurality of times without being reset for the game of each time.

An information processing apparatus obtains at least one piece of history information that allows identification of a first travel route over which a game object has traveled in a first race run in a virtual game stage, executes a second race run in the virtual game stage, in which a game event occurs independently of the first race and in which a player object and at least one non-player object participate, associates the history information with the non-player object for the second race, and determines in the second race, over which of the first travel route identified by the associated history information and a second travel route different from the first travel route the non-player object is to travel, depending on a race state resulting from the game event that occurs in the second race.
