Designed to accommodate two players using a single cartridge with two systems and a link cable, or up to four via Multi-Pak link cables (game and system required by all players), the game features Quick Play, Story Mode, or Free Play. In multiplayer action, contests consist of one, three, five, seven, or nine games, with an option to select games randomly or from a list, with each player's game scores rated and compared to the competition.
