To progress through the game, Mario must knock enemies off platforms using Turtle Shells. There are always two Koopas; if one gets knocked off, another one takes its place.

Three of the original racers were confirmed to return (Falcon, Stingray and Goose), and joined by a new craft, Origammy. A prototype of the game was shown at E3 1996, and it was previewed by Nintendo Power magazine. However, by 1996 the Virtual Boy was already considered a failure and was discontinued shortly after.

There would also have been boss stages, one featuring a giant tree stump enemy that would throw rocks.

Space Pinball is the name given to the prototype that would eventually become Galactic Pinball. Space Pinball was near complete before it was scrapped. It features 5 tables, where Galactic Pinball only has 4. All 5 of the prototype pinball tables are different from those that were included in the retail game. In the prototype, all tables are linked together. Beating a table just starts you off at the next table, and there is no ending of any kind. There is also no “puck” counter, the game simply returns to the stage select screen when you lose a “puck”.
