Abstract
A computer system is provided that enables players to play an online multiplayer game. When collisions are detected in the game, energy objects are created. These objects may be acquired by players during the game to increase a special ability meter. Activation of the special ability meter allows players to be provided with one or more benefits during the multiplayer video game. In some examples, the benefit may include moving a player object to a second track within the multiplayer racing game.
