Each player rides a [[Koopa Shell]]-like hovercraft inside of a pipe, which players can move all around in. There are some [[Dash Panel]]s along the way. The only obstacles are [[Amp]]s, represented by lightning bolts on the mini-map, that briefly slow and shock any player who drives into them. The first player who makes it to the end wins.

The players can move all around the inside of the pipe. On the way, there are speed-ups that makes the player accelerate shaped like red arrows. There are also [[Amp]]s that are indicated on the central map. Their shock waves cover all but 1 of 8 spaces the player can be riding on. If the player gets shocked, the player gets stunned and their speed suddenly decreases.
