This is a racing game. The four players will go through the course, pressing 2 to accelerate and 1 to decelerate. They will turn by tilting their [[Wii Remote]]. On sharp curves, when the player turns their Wii Remote all the way, for a second or two, the car will  start to skid, making it easier to make the tight curves.
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.
