The game uses a top-down racing structure. Players draw or slide with the stylus on the lower screen to direct Pikachu, maintaining speed while collecting balloons and other course objectives. Tracks introduce corners, terrain shifts, and hazards that require quick line adjustments. Progress is mainly through single-player courses, time attacks, and score-based goals, with new content unlocked by meeting stage requirements.
