Being an upgrade from its predecessor, Super Mario Kart, it features a similar base to Super Mario Kart in which players select a Mario cast member to drive in karts, employing a weapon-based system to benefit the player and hinder opponents, though it has expanded gameplay, such as the introduction of Mini-Turbo boosts from drifting and four-player support.
