Battle Mode Explained

Competition With a Different Set of Rules

In Battle Mode, players compete against each other to reach the mode's objective within the time limit. As the name implies, Battle Mode is played very differently compared to races due to the difference in objectives.

Playable Modes

Coin Runners

Mario Kart World - Coin Runners Collect
Participants will be tasked with collecting as many coins as possible that are scattered throughout the course within the allotted time. Each coin is worth one point, but only coins that are held when the time limit expires will count as a score. The player who accumulates the most points is declared the winner.

Modes are chosen at random.png

At the game's current state, players can't choose which battle mode they want to play in multiplayer. When you enter Battle Mode, the mode will be chosen at random. When a match ends, players will go to a lobby where they can choose to vote for the next map. The map chosen could be a Coin Runners map or a Battle Mode map.
