During a game, the software can cycle through three different backgrounds, with a [[Yoshi's Island 4]]-inspired stage being the default one. If a player's ball falls in the gutter twice in a row, the background changes into a [[lava]] stage, and if a player gets two {{wp|Spare (bowling)|spares}} or {{wp|Strike (bowling)|strikes}} in a row, the background changes into a [[castle]] stage.<ref>http://www.at-ml.jp/index.php?tn=index&in=55753&pan=80. Retrieved June 17, 2022.</ref> The upper part of the screen shows all six characters walking in line, with their order representing the current ranking of their respective players. A spare is accompanied by artwork of Mario snapping his fingers while saying "Nice!" and Yoshi drawing a diagonal line across the screen. A strike is accompanied by artwork of Mario commemorating as his ball knocks over several bowling pins. At the end of a game, a final ranking screen would show the top three characters on a podium.<ref name= "a-suma"/>
