Closed beta will offer two game modes, which are Item Mode and Speed Mode. The prior allows players to collect items while racing around the track and use these items to their advantage. They can hold up to two items at a time and can be used for attack, defend, or support. Speed Mode is for players who love fast-paced, competitive racing. Players will have to use their skills in drifting and using boosts.

There are 7 playable characters in closed beta with a variety of costumes to check out. These characters are Neo, Rex, Marid, and the original KartRider characters like Brodi and Diz. Karts can be customized as well with different body parts and effects.
