The player is able to choose cartoonish versions of Formula One racing drivers, such as Sebastian Vettel, Lewis Hamilton, Kimi Räikkönen, Nico Rosberg, Mark Webber, Michael Schumacher, Fernando Alonso, and Pedro de la Rosa.

There are 11 circuits to choose from by default (Belgium, Germany, Italy, Brazil, Abu Dhabi, Monaco, Singapore, Australia, United States, Great Britain and Japan), each based on one of the 20 rounds of the season, but with modifications to suit the gameplay (some parts of the Abu Dhabi GP, for example, are based on the adjacent rollercoaster Formula Rossa in Ferrari World).

[14] IGN wrote that the game was full of visual charm but expressed grievances with the bland power-ups, unfair design, and lack of tracks.

[22] Nintendo Life expressed disappointment with the lack of an online mode and polish in basic areas, stating that the experience was one in which enjoyment outweighed frustration.
