The game has custom karts for characters, similar to Mario Kart: Double Dash!! and Mario Kart DS. In addition to this, several new items not seen in its predecessor appear in it.

How To Play

To play the game, the player has to insert $2 per turn (in coins of $ 1) . First, the player can adjust their seat within the time limit by moving a lever near their feet and sliding to any position on the arcade machine. After that happens, the player can choose a character to play with. Then the player has to take a picture of him or her within the time limit; if the player doesn't take the picture, a countdown starts to force the player to take it. Then the racing starts as the player has to be in 1st place. If the player gets a lower place, the player has to do it again to unlock the course by giving the game certain money or some tokens. If the player gets 1st place, the player will move on if the player pays the game another token or dollar(s).
