Ghost

In time attack or trial modes of video games, the ghost feature lets players review past rounds. In racing games, a “ghost car” might follow a player’s best or recent lap. These ghost cars, often see-through, are based on past lap times and are just for the best time without any real interaction. Players often use the ghost to improve, trying to match its racing line. Games like F-Zero and Mario Kart use this. Variants of this feature, like in Real Racing 3, let these ghost cars collide and are fully visible.
