Keyboard and mouse required. Single Player races you against six AI rivals over three laps of Map 04; driving unlocks when the 3, 2, 1 countdown reaches GO, and your position and lap show at the top right. W or Up accelerates. S or Down brakes and reverses. A or Left and D or Right steer. Drifting is automatic: take a corner at speed while steering hard and the kart slides into a drift; steer into the corner to tighten it or ease off to widen it. Holding a clean drift charges a mini-turbo through three levels, released when you straighten out. T activates Turbo. Space jumps once when grounded, with a short cooldown and no jumping again while airborne. While airborne, K plus A or D performs a flat spin, K plus W or S flips, and K alone spins left. Complete a trick before landing for a small boost. Hard crashes temporarily lock driving controls. L toggles blue underglow. On Map 01, drive through floating item boxes to fill two item slots; press 1 or 2 to use the item in that slot. R recovers to your last safe position. The camera follows the kart automatically; right-click toggles the look-back view. Click the map label to quit to the main menu.
