Mario Kart: Double Dash!! Deluxe! (Richmountain112)

Mario Kart Double Dash!! Deluxe! is a racing game developed and published by Nintendo, sometime in the mid-to-late 2020’s. It features 42 characters, just 1 more than Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Many features from past games return, most notably the 2-driver system from Mario Kart Double Dash, but also includes 12-player racing and bikes from Wii, gliders and underwater racing from 7, and anti-gravity and ATVs from 8, as well as the battle modes, Ultra Mini Turbos, Smart Steering, and Auto-Accelerate from 8 Deluxe. It effectively counts as a port of Double Dash on the GameCube, with all 16 tracks from that game in addition to the traditional 16 nitro and 16 retro tracks as well.
== Game Modes ==
Mario Kart Double Dash Deluxe has many game modes, ranging from races to battles. 2 players on the same console can cooperate on a single Kart in certain game modes.
=== Grand Prix ===
Only available in either Single Player or Splitscreen Multiplayer, this is how you unlock stuff through winning (or in rare cases, losing). # of players: 1-8
=== VS Race ===
This is available in single player, local multiplayer, or online multiplayer, all 48 tracks are available for selection, in addition to Random, lasting as many races as the player selects in the rules. 
This mode works a little differently online, because only 3 randomly-picked tracks can be chosen, to avoid the same track being selected over and over again. 
Players: 1-12 (offline), 2-12 or 2-24 (local wireless), or 2-24 players (Online). Modifiers: Items (Shells Only, Bananas Only, Mushrooms Only, Bob-ombs Only, Frantic items, Skilled Items, Custom Items, 75% Spiny Shells, and No Items)
=== Battle Mode ===
This is similar to the 8 Deluxe variation, in which there are many battle modes that return from Double Dash, as well as Renegade Roundup and a new one, Thunder Cloud Tag. 
==== Ballon Battle ====
Ballon Battle is the classic battle mode that everyone plays, and can be set to either Elimination or Points. If the former is selected, there is still a timer, and when it runs out, the player with the most balloons left wins. Points mode is similar to 8 Deluxe, in which players start with 5 balloons, and respawn with 3 unless set otherwise. 
Modifiers: Teams (0, 2-4), Elimination or Points, Round Time (1-10 minutes (points or elimination, defaults to 4 for the former), infinite (elimination only, default for Elimination), # of starting Balloons (1-99, default 5), # of respawning balloons (1-99, defaults to 3 and exclusive to points) 
==== Renegade Roundup ====
Renegade Roundup is made to be a little bit more fair in solos, in which the one with the most teammates sprung / renegades caught ends up winning regardless of which team actually wins. If there are 3 teams, then one team is randomly assigned as Cops while the others are renegades, set in a fashion in which the same team can’t be cops twice in a row. If Teams are on in the settings, then it’s the same as it was in 8 Deluxe. 4 teams are just like 3 teams except that 2 of them are randomly cops.
Modifiers: # of Teams (2-4, default 2), Round Time (1-10, default 4)
==== Thunder Cloud Tag ====
Thunder Cloud Tag is a new battle mode in which someone randomly spawns with the thunder cloud and has to bump into another player to transfer it before the time runs out, in which the player who has it is out. This repeats until 6 players are left, in which the amount of Thunder Clouds double.
Modifiers: Teams (0-4), # of Thunder Clouds (1-4), 
=== Item Rain ===
Item Rain is a new game mode based off of the CTGP-R mode of the same name, with random items falling from the sky like Shells and Mushrooms. Can get really laggy when all karts have 2 players on them as well on the more complex tracks. 
=== Custom Items ===
While not a separate game mode, it is an option in VS Race and allows you to select which items can appear and which ones can't. Comes with a few templates by default but you can also make your own. 75% Blue Shells is one of the templates.
