Double Dash Mode[]
Double Dash mode is a mode which allows you to ride two on a vehicle. It returns from Mario Kart: Double Dash, but unlike its previous game, there are no set partners. The characters, vehicles and tracks don't change but the item box changes to double item box to accompany each driver. It can be unlocked as a mode after playing 4 hours on the game.
