The game's story mode, Solo Mode, involves the players traveling across all six boards to defeat Bowser, Bowser Jr., Kamek, and Shy Guy and save the Mini Stars. Completing Solo Mode awards the player 500 Party Points, and the Mini Star grand total is also be added onto the player's Party Point amount; for example, finishing Solo Mode with a grand total of 500 Mini Stars awards the player 1000 Party Points. Shy Guy and Kamek or both appear in all six boards as CPU players competing against the player. | The game's story mode, Solo Mode, involves the players traveling across all six boards to defeat Bowser, Bowser Jr., Kamek, and Shy Guy and save the Mini Stars.

Also, instead of always playing against three other computer players in a four-player match on each board, sometimes, the player plays a three-player match against two computers, or a two-player duel match against one computer (either Kamek or Shy Guy | Also, instead of always playing against three other computer players in a four-player match on each board, sometimes, the player plays a three-player match against two computers, or a two-player duel match against one computer (either Kamek or Shy Guy). The minigames for the three-player matches are Free-for-all minigames and 1 vs 2 minigames, and all minigames in two-player matches are Free-for-all minigames, adapted for duels. The award system for minigames in a three-player match is five stars for first place, three stars for second place, and one star for third place, and the award system for minigames in a two-player duel match is five stars for first place and one star for second place. The player often has at least one ally on four boards; if they win instead of the player, then they can still continue to the next board regardless of their final position. If Kamek or Shy Guy wins, then they take all the Mini Stars from the other players and the player must replay the board, similar to a [[Game Over]]. If Kamek or Shy Guy ties with the player or an ally, the player still continues to the next stage. | ||

Points are awarded for place in minigames, and standings are announced after each minigame. The players with the most points at the end win. The most points a player can score is 350, while the least is 30. It is possible for all four players to win. The losing players emerge out of their pipes in the order of their point totals (from lowest to highest) and perform their losing animation as their points are displayed. The winning players jump out of the golden pipe and perform their victory animation. | Points are awarded for place in minigames, and standings are announced after each minigame.
