===VS===
After the players insert coins, the machine starts a search for VS races. If players are found, the game starts a VS Match. Like the previous game, up to four players can play together. In VS, the players first select an engine class, select a character, takes a picture (if necessary), then votes for a course. After, each player will be given 3 random items. Unlike the previous game, in multiplayer mode players in the minimap are given colors depending on their player number:

Unlike the previous game, in multiplayer mode players in the minimap are given colors depending on their player number: Player 1 is red; Player 2 is orange; Player 3 is green; Player 4 is blue; and CPUs are dark blue. If fewer than four players gather for a race then CPU drivers are added to make up four racers.

If less than four players gather for a race then CPU drivers are added to make up four racers.


During the race, the bottom-left screen displays the player number (unlike the first game, which did not do so), and there is no speedometer in the bottom-right, just showing the coin count (just like the first game did). Also, the commentator says the player number before the character's name except for CPU-controlled karts.

All playable characters from ''Mario Kart Arcade GP'' return along with two new characters, [[Waluigi]] and a {{wp|Tamagotchi}} named [[Mametchi]]. They all have two karts available: a standard go-kart and a personal kart that increases speed, but reduces acceleration.
