*'''Controller 1:''' Controls Mario.
*'''Controller 2:''' Controls Donkey Kong.

===Buttons===
*'''Circle Button:''' Slams puck towards opposing player.
*'''D-Pad:''' Moves characters up, down, left, and right.

*'''Crazy Spots:''' If the puck passes through one of these points, it will rapidly increase in speed and change its current course.

==Gameplay==
The objective of the game is basically the same as that of normal hockey: score goals against the opposing player. There are two game modes; each operates similarly, with few variations.

===Game A===
Game A is a one-player game; the player plays against the CPU. While using controller 1, the player must control Mario and try to win the game of hockey against the CPU, which takes the form of Donkey Kong. For each goal scored, one [[point]] is awarded; the first one to reach ten points wins the game. However, if the CPU reaches ten points before the player, the [[Game Over|game is over]].

The game can also be paused in Game A by pressing the circular button on the second controller. The game automatically releases its pause after four minutes; the pause can be ended before that time by pressing the circular button once more.

===Game B===
Game B is a two-player game; the first player controls Mario, while the second player controls Donkey Kong. The rules are almost the same as in Game A; the first to reach ten points wins the game. There are no CPUs in Game B, and there are no Game Overs. Game B cannot be paused.<ref>[http://dkmegasite.vgfort.com/subfolder/hk303.php The entire gameplay setup]</ref>
