 A display layer covers the scene and interface with fine scanlines, a faint RGB phosphor grid, monochrome grain, and shaded glass edges. A very light tracking disturbance affects the whole image, including menus. Lower integrity progressively adds stronger interference, separated color channels, negative-image pulses, and flickering rectangular color dropouts; checkpoint repairs ease them again. Damaging impacts add a 480 ms negative/color burst, including the final hit of a run. Guardrail impacts only strengthen tracking for 360 ms and never trigger that damage burst.
 
-Approaching the rear road boundary continuously strengthens the interference and color dropouts with the closing vignette. Full-image inversion fades out as the opening closes, keeping the black field black while localized colored blocks remain visible. These effects persist through the end dialog until restarting restores the normal low intensity. The effects do not intercept input or request external artwork. Reduced-motion mode uses subdued static color and blocks instead of negative flashes, image displacement, or moving interference. Backgrounding pauses the run and clears driving input, including the moving interference; the pause menu appears immediately even when the browser suspends animation clocks.

Interference and color dropouts persist through the end dialog, while positional screen drift stops so restart controls remain stationary.
