This racing game, unlike most other racing games, takes place in the sky, where three dimensions of navigation are used rather than two. Players race around courses using rocket-powered bongos, and during a race, players are able to use items, [[Wild Move]]s and shortcuts in an attempt to reach first place. The items are used to give players advantages over their competitors, similarly to the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series, though the game has various other elements unique to it, such as using Wild Moves to gain a speed boost or riding on [[Animal Friends]] to smash through obstacles. The game makes heavy use of motion control during the race, where players are required to use the [[Wii#Wii Remote|Wii Remote]] and Nunchuk accordingly to perform various moves, such as accelerating or jumping. The game supports up to four players, but only in the Jungle Grand Prix and Single Race modes; the other game modes are for only one player. Jungle Grand Prix, the main mode of the game, features eight racers in a multi-lap race to the finish line on a given race track. | This racing game, unlike most other racing games, takes place in the sky, where three dimensions of navigation are used rather than two.
