Gameplay[edit]
In this event, the player can set the length of the match to 60, 90 or 120 seconds. In this event, the player steers and aims by tilting the Wii Remote in the desired direction, and can reverse direction by quickly shaking the Wii Remote. The player can shoot and unlimited supply of Green Shells by pressing 
. A crosshair is present onscreen at all times, and the player can target objects by moving their crosshair over them. The player can hit the red Flappers to score 2 points, the gold Flappers to score three, and other characters to score 10 points. Hitting another character will also cause them to fall down, and will cause them respawn from the centre platform after a short amount of time. The course also features Rainbow Rings that the player can fly through for a speed boost, and Balloons that can be collected to obtain an item. Five different items can be collected, which can be used by pressing 
and each have different effects:
- Red Shell: Homes in on a nearby character. Can be blocked using a Super Star or a Barrier.
- Super Star: Grants the player a speed boost and invincibility for a short amount of time.
- Lightning: Knocks all of the other characters out of the air, causing them to respawn from the centre. Can be blocked using a Super Star or Barrier.
- High Speed Shoes: Gives the player a speed boost for a short amount of time.
- Barrier: Indefinitely protects the player from a single attack.
The character with the highest number of points at the end of the time wins the event.
