MarioKart GP
Challenge the Cups of the MarioKart GP! Each Cup consists of 5 courses, and in each one your objective is to make it through 5 laps and reach the finish line before your opponents do.
You must finish each race in the top 4 to qualify for the next course, otherwise you will lose a kart and have to restart the course. If you run out of karts, the game will be over.

Note: When playing in 2P mode, if either player finishes in the top 4, both players will progress to the next course. However, if a player does not finish in the top 4, that player will still lose a kart. If one player has no karts remaining, that player’s game will end and the other player will continue alone.
