The player then must choose which one of three themed tracks (Toad, Mario, Don-chan) they want to play. The player can choose to play in 50cc, 100cc and 150cc, with the latter two being unlockable. The arcade operator can set whether the camera should be used or not. On some cases, the camera cannot be used, in which the player's photography is their selected character's portrait. Before starting a race, the player can take their photography and decorate it with twelve included features, such as a samurai helmet and a pirate suit. Then the player can choose between seven karts, five of them being unlockable. Unlike the other two Arcade GP releases, Time Trial is not present in the game. Grand Prix, National Battle, and multi-player modes are featured in the game.

The game is powered by the triforce engine, just like the two previous, and as well developed by Bandai Namco Games in association with Nintendo.Īs for the general design, setting and mechanics, they reflect now modern Mario games (such as bright and solid colors as seen in Super Mario 3D Land, and the karts have the ability to drive underwater and use gliders in the air, as in Mario Kart 7), and the roster of playable racers was recast in some regards.

In 2017, another game was released called Mario Kart Arcade GP VR. Just like the previous two games, it is possible to do multiplayer play by linking up to four cabinets. It is the third game in the Mario Kart Arcade series, and the tenth title in the series overall, following Mario Kart Arcade GP and Mario Kart Arcade GP 2.
