Action Henk is a washed-up action figure who wants to prove that he is still the fastest toy around. Racing through an enormous world made from bedrooms, toy boxes, amusement parks and other environments, Henk competes against a group of other 90s-inspired action figures.

The gameplay revolves around maintaining momentum while running, jumping and butt-sliding through obstacle-filled tracks. Players must find the fastest routes, shave milliseconds from their times and earn increasingly demanding medals. Along the way, new characters, bonus levels and challenges can be unlocked, while multiplayer races and a level editor provide additional ways to compete.
