Game modes
You will find below all the game modes you can take before each race. The modes are pretty standard as you can play against the computer, friends, running errands against time or even "Battle" putting you in different arenas of the game:
Grand Prize: The Grand Prize consists of making a series of four races during which you will face the AI. This part helps you at the same time to unlock many "characters", "vehicles" and "game modes".
Against the clock in this game mode you'll face yourself and will achieve the highest score possible in a pre-selected race. You will have no competitor on the track and will finish this race with only three fungi. Note that you will be able to race against a ghost (yours or that of a person online mode).
Versus one or more, this game mode allows you to organize your own big money, challenge your friends and play online mode so you can compete with players from around the world.
Combat: you play either for yourself or as a team and need to make the balls explode all your competitors in the arena to win this game mode
Mirroring: This mirroring is to make the race in reverse mode. To unlock this game mode you have to complete all the championships gold in 150cc mode.
Mario Kart TV: In this mode, you can review the highlights of your last races.
