While Perfect Choro Q is a racing game, it does not control the same way as most racing games. Perfect Choro Q is turn based racing and controls much like a golf game. The player takes turns with the computer opponents, which starts out with the player choosing which direction the car will go in (which is represented by a dotted line.) Once the desired direction is chosen then the power will be chosen by pressing the A button to stop the moving power meter.
Perfect Choro Q also has some role-playing elements in that the player drives a car along an overworld map and has multiple destinations that can be chosen.
