Gameplay
Using a stylus, the player controls a Pokémon and races to each checkpoint. After players have passed each of the number of checkpoints in order, the course is completed. 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 (GP 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. Dash also has multiplayer support. Up to six Nintendo DS units can be connected together.
Game Boy Advance compatibility
This game 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, he or she can make courses like the pokemon in their team. Your time to complete the courses depend on factors like type and level.
Reaction
The game received mediocre scores due to the fact that the player could only play as Pikachu in 1 player, and could also be finished within hours.[1]
