Gameplay
The player controls a roller skater who races against teams of other skaters.[3] The game starts with a training course where the player grabs flags while skating along a path. In the actual race, the skater attempts to pass other skaters or punch them off the path, while navigating increasingly tight paths; passing a set number of skaters grants points and extra time. The game ends when the allotted time limit, providing that the player could not acquire extra time on time, passes.[4]
