The four players (or one person) will be lined up at the starting line, in cars. The lights will beep twice, and then turn green, which starts the race.
The players drive their karts up to the starting line as the lights signal the start of the race.


==Gameplay==
==Gameplay==
This is a racing game. The four players will go through the course twice, pressing {{button|wii|2}} to accelerate and {{button|wii|1}} to decelerate. They turn by tilting their {{button|wii|Wiimote}}. These controls are the same as for ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''. On sharp curves, when the player turns their {{button|wii|Wiimote}} all the way, for a second or two, the car starts to skid, making it easier to make the tight curves. The first player who crosses the finish line after two laps is declared the winner of the minigame.
The four players compete in a simple two-lap race around the circuit. Players can turn their [[Wii#Wii Remote|Wii Remotes]] all the way to turn at sharp curves. The first player to reach the finish line wins. Ties are possible if multiple racers finish within a fraction of a second or if nobody completes two laps within five minutes.
