Abstract
A racing game device comprises means for setting paths in a virtual space in advance as a course for a moving object, means for setting a first path used during normal moving and a second path used only while a special mode is activated, and means for allowing the moving object to move onto the second path (e.g., a ceiling surface part) when the special mode (e.g., a mode allowing the operation of gravity) is activated by an activation instruction from the operating means. Further, the racing game device includes means for setting, while a moving object is moving on the second path, a merging point which merges with the first path when it is judged that a predetermined condition is fulfilled, and means for allowing, when it is judged that the predetermined condition is fulfilled, the moving object moving on the second path to merge at the merging point.
