Race in 8 cups across 4 courses each in Super Mario Kart's Grand Prix mode. Unlock new cups and earn trophies.
The Grand Prix is the main area of Super Mario Kart where you race in one of 8 cups against 7 other racers. Initially, 4 cups are available, with the others needing to be unlocked. You can also select your desired engine class (difficulty) for each circuit.
Each cup contains 4 courses. After each race, you earn points based on your finishing position. Upon completing a cup, if you finish in the top 3 positions, you will win either the Bronze, Silver, or Gold trophy for that set of courses. You are also assigned a rank, which is determined by your driving performance throughout each race. As far as is known, achieving a high rank in this mode does not result in any specific in-game events and is primarily for display.
- Experiment with different engine classes to find the difficulty that best suits your skill level.
- Focus on consistent performance across all 4 courses in a cup to secure a top 3 position and earn a trophy.
- Pay attention to your position after each race to gauge your progress towards winning a trophy.
