"NEXT GOAL: $4,000,000: ONLINE BATTLE RACE MODE!
The ultimate online competition! You and a friend compete online, racing to the end of slightly customized versions of single-player stages. You can see your rival as a "ghost" image in your game, but you can't affect each other...save for the enemies you defeat being sent over to impede your opponents progress! It's an all new twist on versus mode play that will give Mighty No. 9 life well beyond the single-player campaign!"
This actually sounds pretty cool. Would be a feather in the wii-u versions cap if they can implement local for this mode as there shouldn't be a reason not to. Maybe even the xbox one via smartglass.
