[edit] Game modes

Yoshi Touch & Go features 5 different modes of play. Let's take a quick look at them:

• Score Attack: In Score Attack, you have to score as many points as you can.
• Marathon: Try to get as far through the ground area as possible. Your score is the distance traveled since the start of the game. This mode does not end until Yoshi is hurt.
• Time Attack: Rescue Baby Luigi from the Toadies as quickly as possible.
• Challenge: Travel through the ground area and get as far as you can. This mode does not end until time runs out.
• Vs. Battle: Challenge a friend to see who can get to the finish line first. This mode supports single-card DS Download Play for two players.
