The Training Mode is similar to Melee's training mode, as to how you can select items, CPU movement, and Speed at will, as well as having various targets for helping with aim. It also has a crosshair on the bottom screen to show where an item will land if thrown foward onto level ground. If holding a shell or similar item, a guide will appear on the Game View screen to show the path the item will take if thrown from the current position.
==Customizeability==
This game has many ways to customiz your playing experience.
With Music, you can switch between Fusion's soundtrack and the original games' soundtracks. You can also choose the Starting Fanfares, Menu music, Credits music, and Extras music.
You can choose whether or not to use Double Item Boxes, however this option is overwritten by the Double Dash Mode. This allows for two characters to use one kart. However, the only karts that will be available for use will be those from Mario Kart: Double Dash.
You can switch between fading to black and respawning or having Lakitu pick you up immediately after falling off the track.
You can also select whether or not multi-items like Triple Bananas either surround you, follow behind you, are used all at once, or use their original behavior.

*5 Bananas

==Overall Style==
The game is designed to have a style very similar to Mario Kart DS, with low polygons and 2D objects. This gives a nostalgic effect while also keeping the framerate high and file sizes low.
The game was released in late 2023 with great reception overall.
