In worldwide matchmaking, the goal is instead to battle opponents to increase the streak of wins. If the players lose, the streak is reset to 0.

Players are matched against new players every round to increase their Skill Grade, with the Free-for-All minigame being chosen by voting.

The winner is the one with the most coins after 5, 7 or 10 rounds. While playing in worldwide matchmaking, only 5 rounds can be played.

Boss Rush

Unlocked when clearing 30 achievements and reaching Platinum Rank, Boss Rush is a mode where four players challenge Impostor Bowser to clear all five Boss Minigames in a row, while simultaneously competing against each other to get the most points within each minigame. The MVP is determined at the end of the Boss Rush, as players are being given points based on their placement in the minigames, with the one with the most points being declared the winner.
