Any other non player racers will be controlled by the computer and chosen at random.
Then, the player has the option to pick the track or cup tournament they want to play on. Once the track is chosen, then the race will begin. The objective of the races is to win in first place. On the tracks are item barrels that contains inside of them. The items are used as an advantage to help the racer out.
The tracks are also filled with obstacles and shortcuts that can either help or harm the racers. On the track, characters also have special item that can be used to attack other karts or obstacles.
