In addition to the skins, accessories total more than 80 items, including hands and backpacks, while around 50 emotes are available for customization. The new title system allows free combinations to create unique profiles during matches.
Exploration of the new Hoshitori mode
The Hoshitori mode introduces a real battle dynamic with eight participants competing for two special items hidden in chests. Quem takes the item and must run to the escape point while the others try to intercept and steal the object.

The classic modes of datsugoku gokko and keidoro
