Gameplay

There are four courses in total - the first is red, the second is blue, and the final two are more difficult versions of the first two that have elements of the course missing or changed.

The player is awarded an extra life every 2000 points. As with the rest of Nintendo Land, gameplay hints and tips are revealed by Monita as the player plays. In this game, she most notably encourages the player to keep an eye out for shortcuts. Therein lies the secret to getting high scores in this game.
