PROGRAM FOR RACING GAME DEVICE, RECORDING MEDIUM STORING THE PROGRAM, AND RACING GAME DEVICE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a racing game device full of unexpectedness, capable of developing a race peculiar to the virtual space and impossible in the real world. SOLUTION: A game processing means of the racing game device includes means for previously setting a plurality of paths as running courses for a movable body in the virtual space; means for setting a first path to be used for the regular running and a second path to be used only when a special mode is put into effect in the plurality of paths; means for permitting running of the movable body in the second path (e.g. on the ceiling face) when the special mode (e.g. a mode in which the direction of the physical gravity can be controlled) is put into effect based on a command from a control means for controlling the movable body; a means for setting a junction of the second path with the first path while the movable body is running along the second path when it is determined that a prescribed condition is satisfied; and a means for letting the movable body running along the second path join at the junction when it is determined that the prescribed condition is satisfied.
