1080° Avalanche/Game Modes

Match Race
"Beat your opponents down the hill, then take the final challenge!" Match races consist of you versus one opponent, whom you race from the top of a course to the bottom. The exception to this is the final course, the Avalanche course, where you either race a timer or the actual avalanche (if it knocks you out, it won).

See 1080° Avalanche/Match Race for more information.

Gate Challenge
"Can you get down the mountain without missing a gate?"

See 1080° Avalanche/Gate Challenge for more information.

Time Trial
"Perfect your skills to get the lowest time, or find the Hidden Coins." In actuality, you have to get the coins in order to have the best time. The game will disqualify you if all of the coins have not been found, so your main priority is finding the coins and then cutting off time where possible.

See 1080° Avalanche/Time Trial for more information.

Trick Attack
"Get the high score with your best jumps, grabs, and grinds." Trick Attack courses have two goals; to complete the course before the timer runs out, and to have the highest score.

See 1080° Avalanche/Trick Attack for more information.

Multiplayer
"Take on your friends in a race of up to 4 Players."

Local Area Network (LAN) Mode
"Connect up to 4 Nintendo GameCubes for the ultimate race!" Basically LAN mode allows players to conserve TV space so that they aren't crowded into 4 little sections of the screen; this way players can utilize entire TV's for themselves for better gameplay experience, although the maximum number of players is still restricted to four.
