The story aspect of the game is minimal, as expected for a party racing title, but it successfully incorporates a mission mode that adds depth and variety to the gameplay. This feature allows players to engage in specific challenges, enhancing the overall experience beyond just racing.
“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.”
“Having missions is one of the best ideas in racing games.”

The gameplay features standard cart racing mechanics like acceleration, drifting, and power-ups, enhanced by slope momentum that adds 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.”
“Some stretches of ground can drag on a little longer than desired, but slope momentum mechanics make the speed at times quite thrilling.”
“The mechanics consist of a typical cart racer - accelerate, drift, power-up, with the occasional jump.”
“However, the gameplay can come across as messy with 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.”
