In Minna de Wai Wai, you and your friends must work together to get your Cocoto Kart to the finish line first by managing the many obstacles and time restrictions, and then finalizing the course and winner's name. The game is played with a DS touch screen tablet device with a map of the course inside. There are up to six friends involved in the game, and each one must work together to complete the course. There are different colors (green, blue, yellow, and red) to indicate position on the course, and using these colors in conjunction with the course's other colors (or using different techniques) can finish the race. The winner's name is displayed on the screen after the race is completed.
