Single-player missions mode
Single-player missions mode is a six-level game play mode. Here, the player must complete a series of missions and a boss battle to complete a level. The mission objectives range from collecting coins to fighting in boss battles, all on a variety of different race tracks and battle maps. Just like in Grand Prix mode, the player is ranked on how well he/she performed on a scale of C to three stars, C being the worst rank and three stars being the best rank.
