Elite Beat Agents/Multiplayer

Multiplayer lets you play songs along with a friend or a recorded ghost of your own playing.

All songs, once unlocked by the host, can be played in multiplayer when playing against your ghost or a friend with a second copy of the game, but only some songs are available for download play.

There are two ways to play in multiplayer: Coop and versus.

Coop play has the players take turns playing segments in the song, with the markers for the other player appearing grayed out on your screen. Coop play can not be done with a ghost.

Versus mode has both of the players play the song at the same time. As you play, you earn stars. Get two stars (three in doubles play) to automatically launch an attack against the opponent, which will have a temporary disadvantage, such as shrunken hitmarkers.
