Players begin by selecting a character—Barbie, Teresa, Christie, or Kira—and then choose outfits and equipment for their selected sport. The game features a shop and a lobby, leading to four stages, each with unique criteria such as collecting points. Players can earn tickets in these stages to purchase new outfits and equipment. The game includes five levels of competitions, stunts, and special tricks in both sports, as well as secret areas and opportunities to earn points by meeting various challenges.[2][3]
