'''Battle Mode''' is a game mode featured in the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series. It was included as an alternative for regular races in order to add variety. Unlike regular races, Battle Mode takes place in specially designed [[:Category:Battle courses|battle courses]], which are flat, enclosed arenas that are smaller than normal racetracks, but still contain various obstacles, and come in different layouts. An exception is ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'', where the battle takes place in select racetracks instead of battle courses. However, ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' returns to the traditional arena-based battle. ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''{{'}}s battle courses are unique in their feature as that they change throughout the battle, either periodically ([[Thwomp Desert]]) or once for all ([[Block Plaza]], [[Delfino Pier]], and [[Chain Chomp Wheel]]). The only course in the game to which this does not apply is [[Funky Stadium]]. | '''Battle Mode''' is a game mode featured in the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series.

Originally, in the first four games, Battle Mode is only available in multiplayer. Starting in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', Battle Mode can be a single player mode with computer players or a multiplayer mode with or without them.

''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' has a few changes to Balloon Battle. For the first time, it can be played in single-player, unlike the previous four games, which require being in multiplayer to play. The player also starts out with one balloon instead of three, and more can be blown by holding {{button|gba|select}} or by blowing into the {{button|DS|Mic}}. There are four balloons in reserve (five in total), and the kart has to be stopped before blowing another balloon. The player can only choose the [[Standard Kart]] in this mode. In this game, there are eight different colors the balloons can be. Those colors are blue, cyan, green, orange, pink, purple, red, and yellow. | ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' has a few changes to Balloon Battle.

''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' introduced | ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' introduced a lot of changes to Balloon Battle. The match is now timed to three minutes, and the objective is to pop the most balloons within that time limit instead of the traditional last-man-standing setup. The characters are now divided into two teams; free-for-all matches are not available. A new addition to this game is the ability to respawn after losing all balloons; this causes one point to be deducted from the team's total points. | ||

The time limit of the match is reduced to two minutes, and when losing all balloons, players now lose half of their points instead of a single one as in ''Mario Kart Wii'' (though there is a maximum amount players can lose; players that score 12 points, for instance, will lose fewer than 6 points). In addition, any vehicle can be used for Battle Mode, like in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'', and unlike ''Mario Kart DS'' and ''Mario Kart Wii'', which only let players use the [[Standard Kart]] and [[Standard Bike]] in the mode. Like in ''Mario Kart DS'', there are eight different colors the balloons can be. Those colors are black, blue, cyan, green, purple, red, white, and yellow. | ||
''[[Mario Kart 8]]''{{'}}s battles take place on regular racecourses throughout the game alongside the rules changing again: it combines the survival mechanic used in older games and the timed point-based setup of the previous two installments. Players start with three points, and losing a balloon will deduct one point. If all balloons are popped, they are out of the game, but in team mode or multiplayer, players can still participate as a ghost and cannot gain more points. Appearing transparent on the player's screen but invisible to everyone else, they can still use items to harm the other players, and can still win if the player manages to reach enough points prior to losing all balloons. Balloon Battle is the only Battle Mode option available in ''Mario Kart 8''. As a result of some of these modifications, the Battle Mode in ''Mario Kart 8'' has been criticized for the lack of original battle stages.<ref>Mc Shea, Tom (May 15, 2014).

The player respawns with three balloons instead of five. The details of the balloons as the same as in ''Mario Kart 8'' (along with the twelve colors). | ||
''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''{{'}}s rendition of Balloon Battle is similar to that of ''Mario Kart 8''{{'}}s, where losing all of one's balloons will result in being eliminated, but there is still a time limit present. In this game, much like how races only have two laps instead of three, players only start with two balloons instead of three in Battle Mode. Once a player loses all of their balloons, their kart will be put on a [[Lift]] that circles the perimeter of the stage. When the player hits an [[Item Box]], they can still throw items at opponents from offstage. This is only possible for the player themselves in multiplayer, as the match automatically ends when the player is eliminated in single-player.

This mode first appeared in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' and returned in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. In this mode, a [[Shine Sprite]] is found in a random spot on the course. Once a player grabs it, they must hold on to it without getting hit by any items. If they get hit by an item, they drop the Shine Sprite and another player has a chance to get it (unless the player uses a [[Mushroom]], [[Super Star|Star]], or [[Cape Feather|Feather]], in which case they will immediately get the Shine Sprite). If the player holds the Shine Sprite until the timer reaches zero, they win. | This mode first appeared in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' and returned in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''.

In ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'', the timer will | In ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'', the timer will stop and be reduced by few seconds when the player with the Shine Sprite is hit by an item and drops it (i.e. When the timer is at 48 seconds and the player with the Shine Sprite drops it, the timer will stop and instantly be reduced to 45 seconds). When nobody has the Shine Sprite, a different music plays. If anybody gets the Shine Sprite, the battle music plays. This is also applied to [[Tilt-a-Kart]] and [[Luigi's Mansion (GCN)|Luigi's Mansion]]. | ||
In ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'', the player has to hold on to the Shine Sprite for a total of 20 (30 in team battle) counts (one count is equal to about two seconds) to win. When the player has the Shine Sprite in possession, the timer counts down from 20 counts. If that player drops it when five or more counts remain, then they have that time left to hold the Shine Sprite once they pick it up again. However, if that player drops the Shine Sprite when the number of remaining counts is below five and then picks it up again, the timer restarts from five counts. Also, if another player who has never touched it picks it up, the timer starts from 20 counts for that player. A game ends when one player successfully finishes all 20 counts or five minutes pass without anybody completing 20 counts. When the game ends, the total time the player held the Shine Sprite is counted toward the player's total points, even if they did not hold on to the Shine Sprite until the timer reached zero.
