In ''Mach Rider'', the player must race along a course while avoiding obstacles and enemies. The player character is also armed with a weapon that could be used to shoot at obstacles and enemies, and destroying them will earn the player points at the end of a round. If the player "blocks" an enemy by knocking it into an obstacle, they get extra points as well as replenishing their bullets.

Fighting Course is the main mode in which the player progresses until running out of lives. In Endurance Mode, the player must reach a certain distance within a certain time limit. Solo Course is the same as Endurance, but with no enemies. Design Mode allows players to design courses to play in another mode. In the original release, those custom courses could only be saved in Japan with the [[Famicom Data Recorder]].

Solo Course is the same as Endurance, but with no enemies. Design Mode allows players to design courses to play in another mode. The courses aren't savable because the [[Famicom Data Recorder]] was never released in America and Europe. However when ''Mach Rider'' was released on the [[Virtual Console]], the ability to save the courses was available in all regions.

The game has not spawned any sequels of its own. It has been considered to be a spiritual predecessor of the ''[[Portal: F-Zero|F-Zero]]'' series, due to several similarities: the elements of high-speed racing in a futuristic setting and the main character's resemblance to [[Captain Falcon]].

The songs from ''Mach Rider'' and a trophy of the Mach Rider are both obtainable in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. ''[[WarioWare: Twisted]]'' has a microgame based on ''Mach Rider''.
