Plot[]

Both barely notice each other, focusing their attention instead to Lakitu, who becomes frightened. Lakitu tries to drive off but a Koopa shell hits his car and he falls out. Unable to make it to his car without being caught, he is forced to run.

Modes[]

Story Mode[]

Story Mode is not very different from Endless Mode, but in Story Mode, events are not avaliable. Extensions to the story and other bonuses can be earned through missions (ex: jumping over 15 Goombas may reward 100 coins, running 1,000 meters may award 50 coins and doing 5 achievements may unlock the next part of the story)

For the the extended unlock plot see here

Endless Mode[]

Endless Mode is almost the same story mode, but instead of advancing through the story, you advance through events like the event "Nabbit Nabbed His Last" in which you collect a trail of coins Nabbit left behind in order to find him. At every so many coins you would get a piece of the puzzle and eventually, if you found him, you unlocked him as a character to buy with coins (remember the coins you collected in Nabbit's event?? you can only get him with those coins! But the game won't let you spend Nabbits coins, so don't worry)

Multiplayer Mode[]

Toad Run[]

Toad Run is the second game in the Runner Collection. It follows the adventure of Toad as he tries to save his friends Blue Toad and Toadette. It has a Story Mode, Endless Mode, and Competitive Mode.

Plot[]

He tells the Toads that he is tired of kidnapping Princess Peach and that he wants to o kidnap someone else for a change.he then grabs Blue Toad and Toadette and jumps away.
