New Game Mode: Factory Run

• A new Item Mode variant where 4 Racers team up to defeat 36 AI-controlled Androids. Stay ahead of the Androids chasing you and seize victory!
• Each Factory Run race consists of 5 laps, where the bottom 8 remaining racers will be eliminated at the end of Laps 1, 2, 3, and 4.
  • Eliminated AI-controlled Androids will stop in place, wherever they are. Be careful on subsequent laps, as running into them is a quick path to elimination!
  • Eliminated Racers will become Androids themselves, and have the opportunity to sabotage their former teammates. Held items are also reset on the team change.
• After each lap, the AI-controlled Androids will gain speed, and the Androids grow larger as well.
• Win Condition: A player-controlled Racer is the first to cross the Lap 5 Finish Line!
• Lose Conditions:
  • All members of the Racer team are eliminated and become Androids.
  • An Android (whether AI or Racer controlled) crosses the Lap 5 Finish Line first.
  • Even if the Racer team wins, Racers that are eliminated and become Androids will still lose.
• Instead of using their own personalized characters and karts, Factory Run mode uses a set group of characters and karts:
  • Racer 1: Dao, driving the Tunnelmaster kart.
  • Racer 2: Bazzi, driving the Plasma PT kart.
  • Racer 3: Vivi, driving the Road Roller kart.
  • Racer 4: Marid, driving the Midnight Wave kart.
  • Individual kart upgrades and liveries do not apply during Factory Run.
• Mini-map, Rearview Mirror, and Rear Radar features are disabled during Factory Run.
• Factory Run Items:
  • New Item: Siren: Look out ahead! Karts that the Racer collides into will temporarily skid and spin around.
    
  • Potential Racer Items: Siren, Angel Armor, Missile, Water Bomb, and Water Wisp.
  • Potential Android-Racer Items: Siren, Banana, Boost, and Shield.
  • Potential Android-AI Items: Siren, Barricade, and Water Bomb.
