The game features two main modes: quick race and championship. In quick race, players can race alone, against another human player, or create custom courses for the game. This mode includes versus games against the computer and time attack. The game also allows players to connect through mobile phones to check global rankings, enter local ranking entries, and download ghosts and new courses.
In championship mode, players must complete the courses in a fixed order while keeping track of their ranking. The cars are viewed from a third-person perspective, with different AI-controlled racers to beat. Before racing, players can take free runs, qualify, or tune their car further. Weather conditions, such as sunny and rainy days, affect car handling.

How to Play
Getting Connected
To play multiplayer games, you need an equal number of Game Boy Advance systems and "TOP GEAR GT Championship" game cartridges for each player. You also need Game Link® Cables exclusively for the Game Boy® Advance.
For 2 players, use 1 Game Link® cable. For 3 players, use 2 Game Link® cables. For 4 players, use 3 Game Link® cables.
Connection Precautions
Multiplay may not work correctly in the following situations:
•
Using a Game Link® Cable not designed for the Game Boy® Advance.
•
The Game Link® Cable is not inserted fully.
•
Pulling out the cable while communicating.

2. Insert Game Paks into each system.
3. Connect the Game Link® Cables together, then connect them to each system.
4. Turn the power of all systems ON.
5. See page 8 for directions on how to play the game.
•
When playing with 2 or 3 players, do not connect systems and cables that are not being used.
•

Each Championship race is a three-lap contest. Prior to each race, drivers complete a one-lap qualifying race to determine starting position. A free run option is available for practice before each race.
