Sprint is an event which the player participates in alone. The player's goal is to beat the lap record of a fixed course set by another player, similarly to the game's Time Attack mode. While circling around the lap, a ghost representing the player who hold the lap records will appear. If the player can complete the lap ahead of the ghost, it will mean that their lap time is better than the current record. At the beginning of an event, the player also receives a single Boost item, which they can use during the event to get a short burst of speed. To win, the player must finish the lap around the race track in less time than the ghost within three laps. Failing to do so will cause the player to lose the event.
The player can choose the level of difficulty (C for Easy, B for Medium, A for Hard, and S for Expert). The higher the level, the more stars the player will receive for their victory (from 1 for Easy to 4 for Expert). With each increasing difficulty level however, the player must finish the lap in a shorter amount of time. Each Sprint mission is also varied with a specific character and different lap times per difficulty. Beating a Sprint mission then unlocks the character that was defeated in the mission.
