Upon exiting the shop you get sent into a lobby where you get to enter four stages. Each four stages have a finish line which can only be reached by finishing certain criteria (i.e. collecting a certain amount of points) Within the stages you can get tickets which you can later use in the shop.

Reception

GameFAQs gave Barbie: Super Sports a bad rating of 2.38 out of 5 overall, criticising the sound saying "The sound effects, certainly not fulfilling the quantity side of the quota and the quality side of things are debatable as well" but praised the graphics stating "The characters and backdrops combine together pretty well to create what is the highlight of the Barbie Super Sports package", despite little criticism saying "The animations are a bit blocky, sometimes moving as if they’re living underwater and the main problem with the cast is that they’re not quite big enough".[1]
