BASIC RULES
Your goal is to finish in first place on each of the three race tracks to access the extra three. Both the Race and Time Trial game modes consist of three lap races.
Once you finish a race in first place, you are given a green wreath. This marks the track with the win on the Course Selection screen.
If you complete the chosen number of laps within the time limits, you will reach the goal and finish the race. You must pass the checkpoints within the time limits to gain extra race time.
When your remaining time runs out, the game is over.
Continuing the Game
If you don't finish the race in first place or your game is over, simply select the same track, and race it again. You can continue as many times as you wish.
