There is little terrain available. It is yellow, representing desert, and most of it is pretty even except for one node meant to sit on some sandy bricks. The little foliage available consists of three round, green bricks, uniquely decorated with ‘spikes’, and intended to support green domes holding pink flowers; these are two cacti. By default, there is a transparent pillar holding up a brown plate that has a Time Block between two brownish cubes.
The centrepiece is a tan slide sitting on a mound of sand that appears to have a couple pieces of dirt around it. The two main enemies or obstacles are the Piranha Plants, who face each other and connect to each other by a green rail that is holding a brown cart. In the cart's centre lies an action tile which Mario can scan to activate the challenge. Scanning it, a tense song plays and the player has to carefully balance Mario in the slide without crashing him into either of the Piranha Plants. Repeating this flawlessly multiplies the coins that he collects with every change in direction. Bumping into the Piranha Plants causes Mario to cringe for a split second, interrupts his scoring, and revokes any multipliers.
When queried after a presentation, the LEGO Digital design lead on the Super Mario theme, Jonathan Bennink, commented:
"Piranha power slide is all about dexterity, and Mario gets coins by carefully sliding between the piranha plants. Now, if you hit a piranha plant, not only do you you get a half second time penalty, but you also get taken out of the multiplier. If you don’t hit the plants, you can get 2 coins at a time, and then 3 coins at a time, so then you are really raking them up."
