01Gameplay

Player control up to four characters who partake in races in obstacle courses. Players aim to be the first to complete three laps around a course by running and using a limited amount of super jumps while collecting coins and avoiding obstacles that slow them down. Power-ups that allow the player to speed up appear occasionally. The coins can be used to enhance the player's abilities after each race.
