Explore Mode

Explore Mode is a game mode where a team of 4 made up of any combination of computer players and regular players travels through a large map made up of small areas inwitch the players play, in search of treasure riding (depending on the map) a boat, a starship, a train, or many other things, and fighting monsters all the way. Plus, occasionally stopping in various places to preform 'raids' A large multitude of bosses can also be fought for some great loot!

Loots
This game mode contains Powers similer to those in smash run, but substantially less powerful. There are also Peices of equipment that you can add to your ride to make it different shapes, or always deploy you with specific items equipped. in addition, a few characters can be unlocked through this game mode, and the treasure you find will often include trophies, coins, custom specials, equipment, as well as mii gear. You also may get items that equip automatically to your avatar at the start of the next raid, or even additional lives for the remaining period.

Sharing mode
in sharing mode loot is distributed randomly between the four users. keep in mind that no one gets loot that goes to a cpu.

Equality mode
Much less loot is aquired, but all users get copies of all loot found by the team.

Contention mode
In contention mode loot is devided up evenly between 7 'piles.' At the end of the run all 4 members of the crew will participate in a brawl with eachother. The winner gets 3 piles, second place gets 2, and everyone else gets 1.

Difficulty
The difficulty can be changed by the host of the game and allows better rewards at the cost of more difficult monsters.

End condition
Any player can end an Explore mode match at any time, the longer a match goes the harder it gets. if all players run out of lives, then the run ends automatically with a small percent of the loot taken away.
