Mario Kart Adventure (UUM)

Mario Kart Adventure is a racing game for the Nintendo Switch, and the ninth main installment in the Mario Kart series. It is the second Mario Kart game for the Nintendo Switch, after Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
==Gameplay==
The gameplay maintains traditional elements of previous Mario Kart games. Players pick a character of six weight classes, and drive vehichles of varying stats, strengths, and weaknesses around an obstacle-like racetrack, in an attempt to finish first of the sixteen racers. The gliding, underwater, and anti-gravity sections from Mario Kart 7 and Mario Kart 8 return, although vehicle customization does not. All vehicles from Mario Kart Wii return. Coins are found across tracks, and a maximum of 99 can be held. With the exception of Adventure Mode, the biggest addition to Mario Kart Adventure is the fact that the player can now choose what other characters are racing, as well as their vehicles. The only rule is that a given character's rival(s) must be included.

==Game modes==
===Adventure Mode===
The main mode of Mario Kart Adventure. Not much is currently known about Adventure Mode, other than it has the player driving around an overworld, and Fawful is the main antagonist. In this mode, only starting characters and standard vehicles are used.
===Grand Prix===
Sixteen drivers race in four tracks in one cup. The drivers' ranks are determined by points. The closer the driver is to first, the more points they will win. The Nitro Cups consists of the Mushroom, Flower, Egg, Star, and Special Cups, while the Retro Cups are made up of the Shell, Banana, Bell, Leaf, and Lightning Cup.
Name 	Description 	Unlock criteria
50cc 	50cc vehicles are slow, and opponents do not try too hard to keep up with the player. 	Available from the start.
100cc 	100cc vehicles are quicker, and opponents put more effort into keeping up with the player. 	Available from the start.
150cc 	150cc vehicles are fast, and opponents put quite a bit of effort into keeping up with the player. 	Available from the start.
Mirror	Tracks are inverted left to right. Engine class is 150cc, ands opponents put a lot of effort into keeping up with the player.	Win all 150cc cups.

===Time Trials===
The player races thorough one track in the fastest time they can by themselves without and computer-controlled opponents. The player starts out with a Triple Mushroom. It has the option to race against a "ghost"; the recording of a player's driving performance. Ghosts appear as semi-transparent and behave exactly as players who used them.
===VS===
VS allows the player to race with their own settings, but it is otherwise similar to Grand Prix.
===Battle===
Battle Mode is a set of minigames that take place on enclosed arenas rather than tracks. In this mode, characters only use standard vehicles. Like VS Mode, this mode can be played solo, in two teams of eight, four teams of four, or eight teams of two. The first six sub-modes are available from the start, while the rest must be unlocked.
Name 	Description
Balloon Battle 	The classic mode where drivers use items to pop each others' balloons. It is more similar to the pre-Mario Kart Wii iteration, where drivers are eliminated once all of their balloons are popped.
Coin Runners 	Coins are scattered across the course. The driver/team with the most coins when time runs out wins.
Shine Thief 	A single Shine Sprite appears in a random spot on the course. Once a driver grabs it, they must hold onto it without getting hit. The driver/team who has the Shine Sprite when time runs out wins.
Bob-omb Blast 	This mode is similar to Balloon Battle, but only Bob-ombs and Bob-omb Buddies are used, and up to ten can be collected at once. When a driver loses all of their balloons, they are eliminated.
Renegade Roundup 	This mode is always played in two teams of eight, and is in the vein of "cops and robbers". The authorities have Potted Piranha Plants that are permanently attached to their vehicles. Captured renegades are sent to a cage. Remaining renegades can free their teammates by driving over a switch. If all renegades are captured, the authorities automatically win. If at least one renegade wins when time runs out, they win.
Moon Madness 	This mode is similar to Shine Runners in Mario Kart DS. Seventeen Power Moons are scattered across the course. When time runs out, the racers with the fewest Power Moons are eliminated. The process repeats until one driver/team remains.
Turnip Hunt 	Each driver/team has a base with a basket of turnips. The goal is to steal turnips from each other's baskets, and bring them to their own. Turnips are also found scattered across the course. The driver/team with the most turnips when time runs out wins.
Thunder Cloud's Wrath	A driver has a Thunder Cloud hovering above them, and they must pass it to another driver before they get zapped and eliminated from the battle. When a driver is eliminated, the Thunder Cloud moves to another driver. The last remaining driver/team wins.
Chomp Guardians 	This mode is always played in two or four teams. Each team has a Chain Chomp that freely roams around the course. The goal is to defeat the other Chain Chomp(s) while defending one's own. The team whose Chain Chomp has the most health when time runs out wins. Chain Chomps are immune to their team's items. If all but one have been defeated, that Chain Chomp's team automatically wins.
 	
===Missions===
The player completes tasks while earning a ranking. It features seven levels, each containing eight missions and a boss battle. Like Adventure Mode, only starting characters and standard vehicles are used. The types of missions are as following;
*Numbered Gates: The player must drive through numbered gates in numerical order.
*Coin Collecting: The player must collect all the coins on the tract.
*Destroy Item Boxes: The player must run over all Item Boxes.
*Enemies: The player uses items to defeat all enemies.
*Drive Backwards: The player drives backwards. The directions are reversed.
