The game is a racing game that's formed into "circuits", each one consisting of several races and minigames. Completing them earns the player bronze, silver, or gold trophies which can be exchanged into currency called "Q-coins". The coins can be spent on the in-game store to buy upgrades to the car. As the player progresses through the game, new parts for the car will be unlocked.[1] The multiplayer mode (up to four players) is done in split screen.[3][4] The game supports the Wii Wheel accessory. Cars are licensed from manufacturers like Honda, Nissan, and Toyota.[4]
