Championship Pool

All of the gameplay is done from a top down view of the table. The player moves an icon to indicate location they want to hit the ball too. To aid in the aiming, a ghost of the cue ball and the first ball that is hit is repetitively played out to show the path of the hit ball. With the all the shots there is a very small margin of error, but this is only notable when a long shot is played or a shot from a sharp angle and the ghost balls will randomly play out all the possible occurrences. The player can also change the power and spin of the played shot with the ghost balls will updating to show the outcome of those changes.

There are four main game modes in Championship Pool: Challenge, Party, Freestyle and Practice. In Challenge mode, players can choose from various pool games such as 14.1 Continuous, Ten Ball, Rotation and many more.
