Players can play both in online knockout-based Survival Mode and offline in Party Mode and can also compete with their friends. While players love some of the challenges, the majority of them are said to be underwhelming.

He said that he never knew it was possible but forgot that it wasNintendoand he does not get the point of the game without leaderboards. There is a leaderboard for world ranking and that is probably the only ine in the whole game. As per fans this is bad decision making from the company.
