In this event, the player directly races against one other opponent, but also competes with another two using their times during the race. To start the event, the player must simultaneously press {{button|ds|L}} and {{button|ds|R}} when "Go!" appears on screen, but can hold them during the countdown to build up energy and perform a faster start. Beginning to charge when "2" is on screen and releasing with perfect timing allows the player to perform a starting dash, which gives them a large speed boost when starting. Once the race has started, the player must repeatedly press {{button|ds|L}} and {{button|ds|R}} to accelerate and maintain their speed, with a faster speed achieved by faster pressing. To carve the corners, the player must hold down {{button|ds|L}} while only pressing {{button|ds|R}}. If an exclamation mark appears after turning the corner, the player can release {{button|ds|L}} to perform a curve dash, which grants the player a short boost of speed. Once on the final straight, the player can press {{button|ds|L}} and {{button|ds|R}} simultaneously to receive a longer boost of speed to cross the finish line. Once the race is over, the player is given their overall position in the event.
