Gameplay[edit]
In this event, the player can set the length of the match to 60, 90 or 120 seconds. In this event, the player's team only faces one opponent, meaning that they can only win a silver or gold medal in the event. In the team version of the event, players start from their own starting points on opposite sides of the area. The player steers their character by tilting the Wii Remote in the desired direction, and can quickly reverse their direction by shaking the Wii Remote. The player can shoot an unlimited supply of Green Shells by pressing 
, and can aim and lock on to targets using the crosshair in the centre of the screen, which moves with the character. The player ears 2 points for every red Flapper that they hit, three points for every gold Flapper and 10 points for hitting an opposing character. Characters that are hit will fall down, and respawn from their starting point after a short amount of time. The area also features Rainbow Rings that the player can fly through to receive a speed boost in a certain direction, and Balloons which the player can collect items from. The items can be used by pressing 
, and have a variety of effects:
- Red Shell: Homes in on a nearby opposing character. Can be blocked using a Super Star or Barrier.
- Super Star: Grants the player a speed boost and invincibility for a short amount of time.
- Lightning: Knocks all of the opposing team down. Can be blocked using a Super Star or Barrier.
- High Speed Shoes: Grants the player a speed boost for a short amount of time.
- Shield: Indefinitely protects the player from a single attack.
The team with the highest number of total points at the end of time wins the event.
