Playing Online has Benefits

You'll be able to see live player shadows in real-time while you're in the map or when playing courses while you're connected to the internet. Standees can sometimes be present in your course for you to take advantage of.

These player shadows can provide items when you're in need and revive you when you're in ghost form, giving you another chance to complete the course without losing a life!

Heart Points show how much you or another player has helped others. Earn heart points by reviving players, giving them your stored item, or by reaching the goal pole together in a course!

You can use stored items when you need power-ups. To store items, simply touch them while you're in a different form from your previous power-up.

Additionally, you can deploy Item Balloons to give your stored item to other players, helping them in certain areas of the course.
