The story aspect of the game is minimal, as expected for a party racing title, allowing players to jump in easily. However, it enhances the experience with a mission mode that offers specific challenges, adding depth and engagement beyond traditional racing. Overall, the game successfully balances accessibility with additional content for those seeking more structured gameplay.
“Having missions is one of the best ideas in racing games.”
“To supplement the racing, the game also features a mission mode for those wanting specified challenges to play.”
“There's not a ton you can do in terms of story for a party racing game, seeing as it should be something you can jump right into without knowing anything about it, and this game feels like it went beyond that in its content.”

The gameplay features standard cart racing mechanics such as acceleration, drifting, and power-ups, complemented by slope momentum that enhances speed and excitement. While some track designs can feel cluttered and certain stretches may drag, the overall experience is technically solid and enjoyable.
“Gameplay is awesome and it's solid technically, too.”
“The mechanics consist of a typical cart racer - accelerate, drift, power-up, with the occasional jump.”
“However, they can come across as messy with their hazard placement and some choppy set pieces, but nothing overbearing (apart from one track on the third cup). Some stretches of ground can drag on a little longer than desired, but slope momentum mechanics make the speed at times quite thrilling.”
