Gameplay Systems

Dash is a top-down perspective racing video game in which the player uses a stylus to control a Pikachu and race through checkpoints. After players have passed all the checkpoints in order, the course is completed. The stylus is used by moving the stylus in the direction the player wants Pikachu to run. Along with racing on the ground, there are races in the sky using balloons.

There are many different terrains such as mazestone paths, forests, beaches, water, swamp, and lava pools. Throughout the courses are power ups which allow the player to run on different terrains without slowing down. Dash also features a training cup, which is given to players starting the game for the first time. After completing the training cup, the player has the chance to play in the Grand Prix Mode.

There are five main cups to compete in GP mode. Dash also offers harder GP modes that can be unlocked, which put the player against a faster level of Pokémon. Each cup has five courses within its area. Connectivity to other devices Dash has multiplayer support.

Up to six Nintendo DS units can be connected together if they all have a copy of the game. In the multiplayer mode, all players control an identical Pikachu. Dash features compatibility with the Game Boy Advance games Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire , FireRed, LeafGreen , or Emerald . If the player inserts any of those cartridges in Slot 2, and has completed GP mode, they can play courses shaped like the Pokémon in their team.

The time to complete the courses depends on factors like type and level.
