At the end of each tournament, the character with most points naturally wins. At the end of the track, points are awarded based on the finishing positions: 1st place - 3 points, 2nd place - 2 points, 3rd place - 1 point and 4th place - 0 points.

Going out of the asphalt track drops the speed immediately and in the sidelines there are several obstacles that will stop the character altogether if they are hit. The players will race around a track against the other three characters for a top position, using to accelerate, to brake and the latter combined with a direction allows to drift corners, though abusing it will send the character into spinning out of control. Each Chaos GP has six different tracks based on the original Sonic game levels' design. The objective of the game is to win the three different Chaos GPs (green, yellow and red Chaos Emerald).
