The game features seven modes, including Toad Scramble, a mode with open
maps to push your strategy, fast - paced mini-game gantlet Coinathon or Mario Shuffle, in which players maneuver three pieces to their
opponent's
side of the board.
Turtling isn't safe when your resources are taken over by artillery units shooting from the other
side of the
map, and failure to control the seas is even more punishing than it was in Warcraft, taking smart tactics and cunning wit to turn the tables on your
opponent.
The controls are appropriately
mapped to the DualShock 4 controller with the control scheme consisting
of holding R2 to accelerate; pressing L2 to brake; pressing L1 to tow an object; holding R1 to look behind your car; pressing square to engage turbo boost when at least one
of the turbo boost meter units is full; double tapping square to be in the zone when all four units
of the turbo meter are full; pressing triangle to fire weapons or towed objects at
opponents or alternatively pressing triangle when no weapon is equipped to beep your car's horn; pressing downwards on the left analogue stick to enable your car's weapon to be fired backwards at a car behind you; holding O and changing the direction
of the left analogue stick to drift; pressing X to jump; pressing upwards on the right analogue stick to drive on two wheels; moving the right analogue stick to the left or right to
side bash a car in that respective direction; pressing downwards on the right analogue stick to drive backwards; combining different directions on the right analogue stick to perform a variety
of air tricks; changing the direction on the left analogue stick to steer your car; pressing the share button takes you to the share feature menu; and pressing the options button to display the pause menu.
