Game Modes[]

Mario Sports Mix 2 features ten playable sports, all unique from each other. Players can play either alone with CPU allies, cooperatively with others up to three players, or against one another. Four players can participate; however, they can only participate in Vs. mode, and it is impossible to have all four players team up.

? Panels return from Mario Hoops 3-on-3, where they serve the same purpose: to provide players with either coins or an item. Unlike Mario Hoops 3-on-3, items are held in reserve rather than players holding them. The more coins players have, the more points they can get when they achieve a scoring. Players lose coins when they get hit by an opposing item, which makes the coins scatter on the floor. However, in dodgeball, coins increase the attack power of attacks, and players can't lose coins from items.

There are also special options that can be adjusted for each sport in exhibition mode, such as turning on and off ? Panels, setting the number of periods and the time limit, and other options which can be specific for each sport. Once the options are set, they do not reset whenever a players turns off the game.

Exhibition[]

Exhibition mode allows players to play any one of the sports and customize the rules of the match from the court selection screen at anytime before the match begins. From there, players can select any four or six of the twenty playable characters and one of the fourteen compatible courts. Players may unlock characters or courts by playing games in this mode.

Sports[]

There are sixteen sports in Mario Sports Mix 2. This is eleven more than the original Mario Sports Mix. Nintendo said "we are trying to aim for a wider range of activities in this Mario Sports Mix". Unlockable sports include baseball, bowling, boxing, dodgeball, golf, kickball, racing, swimming and table tennis (nine).

Tournament[]

In Tournament mode, players can compete for the trophy. There are three rounds in the tournament. When players win a game, they move on to the next round of the tournament. Each time players win a cup, they can earn one of the three small crystals that corresponds to the sport's color and the players moves on to the next tournament. If all three cups are cleared for that corresponding sport, then it becomes a Sports Crystal that is placed on the Star Ship.

After winning the Star Cup of a sport, players unlock a Hard mode for that sport. Opponents are more difficult than in Normal mode. Also, if players clear the Star Cup at all sports, they receive all four Sports Crystals to power the starship.

Missions[]

You need to do tasks for every kind of sports to unlock different kind of things, including items, characters, stadiums, alternative outfits etc. You need to unlock a whole set of nine missions to unlock something. There are ten sets of missions.
