Gameplay
The event starts with the characters stretching in preparation for the event before they crouch down on the starting blocks. When "READY" appears, the player can hold down the R or ZR button to charge power to allow them to perform a faster start. When "GO" appears, the player can press the A Button to push off from the starting blocks, with good timing triggering a speed boost. However, pressing the A Button too early will cause a delayed start. To speed up, the player must rapidly press the A button, and when prompted, can use their super dash by pressing R for a short speed boost. Several Toads and a Chao appear as referees at intervals along the track.
