The player needs to complete each of the four cups by first completing the four races to win a trophy, which allows them to fight the boss. Team Kong and Team Cranky have the same cups and tracks, while the tracks in Team Krem's cups are reversed and have different names. In each race, the player must place between first and fourth to qualify for the next race. Three retries are allotted if they fail to qualify, represented by flag icons on the retry screen. More retries can be earned by collecting all the [[KONG Letters]] in a course. At the end of a cup, the player must place third or higher overall. Otherwise, the player is simply returned to the cup select screen. | The player needs to complete each of the four cups by first completing the four races to win a trophy, which allows them to fight the boss.
