Like the previous installments, the game allows players to drive on ground, air and underground. A new feature in the game is that in some courses in front of the kart there will be a drill. Usually having a drill in these courses requires players to drill over the mud and find paths to the finish line. These courses are often quite hard. Now, players can get unlimited coins every race. With this available, using coins in the shop can buy new vehicle customisations for the best match for the player. The build-a-course feature has been also added, where players can build their own courses and share the courses to the Mario Kart Internet for others to play. Also, now in time trials, players can race with multiple ghosts at a time. Players can also use Amiibo to get new vehicle customisations and courses, and can also add some extra features when building a course. Double items also make a comeback.
