Added in an update, this mode sees four players split into two groups of two and compete to see which team is the best. This mode cannot be played in arcades that link less than four cabinets. Team Battle is a new mode to Mario Kart Arcade GP DX. A section of the region is complete once the player accumulates 100 points. The goal of this mode is to complete sections of the region to earn points. For each race except one-on-one battles, there are four karts competing and regardless of what cabinet number they use and who they face off against, they must always start each race in 4th place. Here, the player selects a track to race from the limited tracks available. In this mode, players race to earn experience points to complete sections of the region, rank up and gain additional frames for their avatar. A new single-player mode in Mario Kart Arcade GP DX, this mode pits the player against other people in race tracks around the region. National Battle is an exclusive mode for Japanese cabinets. If a player cannot take a picture because the camera on their cabinet is disabled, the character they select will be revealed to the other players. In this mode, each player will select their three items and take their own photography, which will be displayed to the other players in the race. If the vote is tied then the players always race in the Normal version of the track. After voting for a track, the player votes if they want to race in Normal or Mirror. In the case that both PAC-MAN Stadium and NAMCO Circuit tie for the most votes then the players will race on PAC-MAN Stadium. However, if PAC-MAN Stadium or NAMCO Circuit is one of the tracks with the tied highest vote then that specific track will be selected. If two or more tracks tie for the most amount of votes the easiest track will be selected. In this mode, the players vote for a track. In this mode the players (and CPU if necessary) compete to see who can come in 1st place in a specified race track. This mode returns from the previous two Arcade GP games, and is the only mode available with three players. By linking up to four cabinets, up to four people can take on Versus. Versus, also known as Two Player Versus with two players, is a multiplayer mode in this game. CPU players are indicated with their character's artwork instead, which also applies to players whose camera is turned off (which in this case it is for all 4 players). When a VS Race is complete, a results screen shows each player's finishing position, photography, player number and profile or character name. Whenever a player completes a cup, they will be given the Congratulations screen. Unlike the other two Arcade GP games, this game does not have a Challenge Minigame. When played on certain cabinets, only 100cc or 150cc Mirror is available, only one round can be played, and the Kart and Items the player gets is decided randomly. Also in 150cc, the number of laps to run for certain tracks (such as Splash Circuit) may increase. The player completes a cup by finishing each round of a cup in 3rd or better.Īt first, the player can only pick 50cc, but as the player clears rounds, the 100cc and 150cc can be unlocked for play in Grand Prix mode. Certain rounds have preset items while other rounds let the player choose their items. The player always starts in 6th place in each Grand Prix race, and the objective of Grand Prix is to finish each course in 3rd place or better within 250 seconds to go to the next course. Grand Prix is the main mode of this game, and is a single-player mode. There are a total of 19 characters, one in which can't be played as anymore being King Boo.ĭon-chan, Strawberry Don-chan, Hero Don-chan It was released in Japan in July 2013, the USA in 2014 and Europe in early 2017. Whereas new picture frames, used when snapping the player’s photo to use as an avatar, will now have seasonal frames added in for Halloween, Christmas and more.This is the third spin off Mario kart game. Kart designs have also been heavily broadened from a meagre 22, now sitting at a mightier 120 although Bandai Namco indicate that this includes alternate colours. This brings Bandai Namco’s take on the kart racer in line with what was added to units in Japan last year, such as Metal Mario, Rosalina, Mirror Mode, and improved drift mechanics that can now reward players with an extra boost.Īrcade-exclusive items continue to expand with the Thwomp, Mega Mushroom and Gold Shells, which presumably act in the same way as the Gold Mushroom in providing unlimited use for a brief period. But for those that still frequent coin-op arcades, Mario Kart Arcade GP DX has belatedly been treated to a significant update. We’re still excitedly speeding our way around the Mushroom Kingdom, thanks to Mario Kart 8’s futuristic anti-gravity fuelled races.
