Courses may overlap common segments of other tracks, but often have different start or end points, or have the player turning down alternate routes. The individual courses for the game are pieced together from a larger system of interconnected grids of roads. Despite sharing many characteristics with past games in the series, Road Rash 3D puts a stronger emphasis on the racing aspect of the game, and less on combat. Conversely, the worst scenarios are to finish last, which does not earn money, or be stopped by police officers, which actually loses money.

The ultimate goal is to place first in the race in order to earn money to upgrade the player's motorcycle. While racing, the player has the option of punching, or using weapons to attack other opponents, to slow down their progress. Gameplay favors an arcade-like style, with little emphasis on realism. The game plays similarly to previous games developed in the Road Rash series, which involves the player racing their motorcycle against other motorcyclists.
