Renegade Roundup
Renegade Roundup is a battle mode found only in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. It is a game mode in the vein of "cops and robbers", being internally named after it, with the drivers being divided into two teams. One team, known as "The Authorities", has to use Piranha Plant items permanently attached to the front of their vehicle (which can only bite the opposite team) in order to capture drivers from the other team, known as "The Renegades". Captured Renegades are transported into one of several cages floating above various points on the course. Remaining Renegades can free teammates from the cells by driving over a key switch placed below said jail cells. The Renegades win if at least one member is still running free after the time runs out, and the Authorities win if all the Renegades get captured. The Authorities also temporarily lose their ability to capture if they are hit by items, and Renegades receive a speed boost and temporary immunity when they are freed from the cells.
