The player controlled one of eight racers. Each racer rode a go-kart. In a twist that was unique at the time, the racers could collect items which they could use to sabotage other players (or to enhance their own speed). The game contained twenty racetracks, which were divided into four different "cups" (the last one, the Special Cup, had to be unlocked via a code). The game also had a popular two-player mode. Not only could the two players race each other, there was a Battle Mode in which the goal was to collect items and use them to bust all three balloons of the opponent. | The player controlled one of eight racers.

− | + | The game impacted the gaming world, inspiring many imitator games. Most game series eventually got their own "kart racing" game at one point in their life cycle.
