Mario Kart: Double Dash!!/Battle mode

How to Play
In Shine Thief, a Shine Sprite will fall in the middle of the battle track. When an opponent gets the Shine Sprite, a timer will start. Everyone else will then have 60 seconds to get it. If the opponent hits or gets hit with any item, they will drop the Shine Sprite and the timer will stop and add more time to itself. The person who can hold on to the Shine Sprite until the timer runs out wins. An arrow tracks the location and movement of the Shine Sprite at all times. All special items can be used by all characters in this battle mode.

Strategy

 * Try to avoid corners when having the Shine Sprite. This can lead to getting trapped.
 * Keep an item on-hand to block an incoming shell.
 * Watch out for anyone using an Bob-omb, Bowser's Shell, Mushroom, or Star. Those items are difficult to avoid.
