The game uses a behind-the-kart third-person racing view, with players steering Mario series characters through drift-heavy tracks while using item boxes to attack rivals and gain speed. Amped Up adds 12 new courses and a special N64 Coin Mode in which collecting all eight coins on a course awards a Star power-up, and each coin also increases top speed. The title screen options menu includes multiple gameplay and presentation settings.

Learn the layout of each new course first, especially shortcuts and coin placements in Coin Mode. Plan a clean racing line so you do not lose too much speed while detouring for coins. Save the Star for long straights, crowded sections, or the final lap when overtaking matters most.
