Players start time trial mode with three mushrooms (speed bursts) and cannot obtain any additional items. In Time Trial mode players race around the track by themselves in an attempt to improve their time and set a new record for the course. There is an unlockable difficulty called 'Extra', allowing players to race on mirrored tracks. Difficulty level is measured by engine size: 50(3.05CID ), 100, or 150 cc. These points are added up as the tournament continues, and at the end of the tournament, the player with the most points wins. At the end of each race points are awarded based on what order the player finished in. In Grand Prix mode one to four human players compete against computer players in a tournament that takes place over four courses.
There are four different forms of play in the game: Grand Prix, Time Trial, Versus, and Battle. The game is compatible with the N64 Controller Pak, but only to save track ghosts in the Time Trial mode, which requires 121 pages, almost the entire standard controller pak. There is also an advanced drift technique (as just mentioned) that allows players to turn against the direction of their drift for a speed boost. AI-controlled racers are able to use all the items except for red and green shells.īy hopping and then going around a corner while tilting the control stick in the direction of the turn, a player earns a small speed boost by drifting. Each item can be used to an effect such as launching shells at opponents, consuming a mushroom to gain a temporary boost in speed, or placing bananas on the ground for opponents to later slip on. Items are picked up by players when they drive through item boxes. Each track has a unique shape, and may contain various obstacles, hazards, and short-cuts. There are 16 tracks that are based on different locations seen in Mario video games: Luigi Raceway, Moo Moo Farm, Koopa Troopa Beach, Kalimari Desert, Toad's Turnpike, Frappe Snowland, Choco Mountain, Mario Raceway, Wario Stadium, Sherbet Land, Royal Raceway, Bowser's Castle, D.K.'s Jungle Parkway, Yoshi Valley, Banshee Boardwalk, Rainbow Road.

However, the characters and items remained 2D pre-rendered sprites. The move to three-dimensional graphics allowed for track features not possible with the original game's Mode 7 graphics, such as changes in elevation, bridges, walls, and pits. Players take control of characters from the Mario universe, who race around a variety of tracks with items that can either harm opponents or aid the user. Changes from the original include the move to 3D computer graphics and the inclusion of four-player support.
