Track Studio.

Track Studio has almost all of the features of the PS3 version and a few features not existant in the PS3 version. These features and tools are designed for use with the Touch Screen and the Rear Touch Panel of the PlayStation Vita. However, some things from the PS3 version are renamed.

When creating a new track, players can chose to use a new tool to create the track path, where they can use the Touch Screen to draw the track. They can also take a photo using the PS Vita's camera or use aready saved ones and use them as a template, dragging and placing pictures onto the screen and changing the transparency.

The Sculpt Terrain tools have an additional mode where players construct mountains with the PS Vita's Rear touch pad and creating Rivers with the touch screen. There is also the old way to edit Terrain, called Edit Brush.
