Ghost are also saved in the SNES Nintendo Switch online port of the game. If the driving session is perfect (no falling, spin out or offroad), the ghost can eventually reappear on following sessions, allowing the player to further improve his/her driving skills. All items are taken out in this mode, and so the times achieved rely solely on driving skills. Due to the SNES's hardware limitations, the times recorded are deleted as soon the console is turned off. Time Trial mode has the player race through one track of his/her own choice, with the racer of its choice, in an attempt to set a record for the best lap or overall course time. No cup is awarded in this case, and therefore the player must restart the entire cup, in hopes of achieving a better performance. The character is shown during the award ceremony near the podium, crying while the first three CPU racers celebrate and rejoice, with a special theme played and a text displayed on-screen.

Points are awarded at the end of each track, as follows :Įnding the cup in 1st, 2nd, or 3rd gives the player the gold, silver or bronze cup respectively, while ending in 4th or lower does not award any cup. In order to win the cup, the player must have the highest total number of points at the end of the fifth track of the cup. If the player presses & at the same time, the selected character will be small until the player presses the buttons together again. Racers ranked fifth to last are 'RANKED OUT' and are forced to either use a continue to try again if applicable (Thus so losing a kart), or retire and end the game. Each cup consists of five tracks, and the player must finish the race in fourth place or better to advance to the next track. The Special Cup must be unlocked by winning gold in the other three Cups, in 100cc mode. There are four cups to select: the Mushroom Cup, the Flower Cup, the Star Cup, and the Special Cup. Larger engines result in faster vehicles and as such a greater level of difficulty. Engine classes of 50cc, 100cc, and 150cc are available, but 150cc must be unlocked by beating the game in 100cc difficulty. The first single-player mode is Mario GP (later known as Grand Prix), in which one player races seven computer-controlled drivers.
