Leagues are special tournaments that can be accessed after winning 25 tournaments using either an amiibo related to the Mario universe or a Sonic amiibo[1]. The Mario League, accessed with a Mario-related amiibo, will have the player's Mii facing opponents from Team Mario, while the Sonic League, accessed with the Sonic amiibo, will have the player's Mii facing characters from Team Sonic. The reward of the Leagues is either a Mario or a Sonic Mii costume.
Heroes Showdown
A Heroes Showdown mode will be featured as well[1]. It is unlocked after getting the gold medal in all events or after getting more than seven bronze medals in the tournaments. In it the player will join either Team Mario or Team Sonic and will participate in knockout rounds against members of the other team in events chosen randomly, until either all members of one team or one of the two captains; Mario and Sonic, are knocked out.
amiibo
amiibo functionality has been confirmed[1]. A Mario-related amiibo will let the player enter the Mario League, the Sonic amiibo will let the player enter the Sonic League, while all other amiibo will give either coins or rings.
