Gameplay and features
Wabisabi frames the game around three pillars: speed, style and exploration.
Tracks are hand-crafted for both competitive racing and open-ended discovery; players can optimize lines for fastest times, chain tricks for higher scores, or wander in endless mode to locate hidden areas.
Challenge modes are built around leaderboard performance, rewarding precision, combo chaining and route optimization.
Multiplayer and progression
The title supports four-player split-screen for local sessions and broader online play with up to eight participants, allowing races, trick battles and cooperative chaos.
Progression ties into unlockable cosmetics and boards — the studio lists 11 distinct riders and 47 boards, each with unique stats and personalities.
Release window and media
No firm release date has been announced.
An announcement trailer is available from the showcase; Wabisabi and Nintendo have not yet provided a release timeline or eShop listing.
