In this event, the player starts by pressing | In this event, the player starts by pressing the Y Button when "Go!" appears onscreen, however the player can press and hold Y before this to build up power and perform a faster start. If the player begins charging when "2" appears onscreen and releases the Y Button with perfect timing, the character will perform a starting dash, which provides them with a short boost of speed. Once the event has started, the player can steer their character using left and right on the Control Pad, and can press and hold Y to accelerate. The player loses speed if they hit a flag or the edge of the course. When turning, the player can hold down the R Button to drift, which allows them to turn the corner faster and more smoothly, and if the player releases the R Button when the character's trail is orange, the player will gain an additional speed boost after completing the turn. The course also features ramps which can be jumped from, which the player can do by pressing the B Button at the edge of the ramp. Doing so with good timing gives the player a speed boost in the air, and jumping from the very edge of the ramp gives a larger speed boost as well as the character performing a trick animation to accompany the speed boost. The player can also gain speed boosts from slipstreaming rivals for extended periods of time. The character that reaches the end of the course first wins the event. | ||
