Collecting coins boosts your speed while shells and bananas allow you to disrupt opponents on the track. Utilizing Mode 7 graphics to create a sense of depth, players compete for the Gold Cup in split-screen racing or engage in Battle Mode across four maze-like courses to outmaneuver characters like Mario, Bowser, and Yoshi.
