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