A new feature has been added in this installment of the series, Mini Stars can be found when the first player or CPU starts the Final Lap replacing some coins. Mini Stars fill up a meter and when you get 5 you become invincible for 7.5 seconds. however there are Mini Ztars which will decrease your meter by 1 when you collect one. Gliding,Underwater Racing and Anti-Gravity all return as major features. Tricking and Mini Turbos also return and Double Dash has been confirmed to be released in an update.

When 200cc is completed a Mirror button is unlocked where you can switch between Mirror Engine Classes and Regular. Once all Mirror Mode Engine Classes are completed you unlock Randomized Mode which randomizes the Engine Class and if the track is Mirrored or not. At the start you only have Mushroom and Shell cups but by beating them you will unlock the next cup along and so forth. Unlocking them in 1 Engine Class also unlocks them in all Engine Classes. Grand Prix can also be played with up to four players.
