Race in 8 cups, pick engine classes, and earn trophies in Mario Kart Double Dash's Grand Prix mode. Unlock new cups as you progress.

The Grand Prix is the main area of Mario Kart Double Dash where you race in one of 8 cups against 7 other racers. Initially, you have access to 4 cups, with the others needing to be unlocked. You can also select your preferred engine class (difficulty) for each circuit.

Each cup contains 4 courses. After every race, you earn points based on your finishing position. Completing a cup with a top 3 overall position earns you a Bronze, Silver, or Gold trophy for that set of courses. Your driving performance also results in a rank, though this rank appears to be purely for show and does not unlock any in-game benefits.

Tips
  • Experiment with different engine classes to find the one that best suits your driving style.
  • Focus on consistent performance across all 4 courses in a cup to secure a top 3 overall position.
  • Pay attention to your rank after each race, even if it's just for bragging rights.
