Gold Rush

Collect Gold to power up weapons and items.
New Vs. Mode Courses
Challenge three new courses in Vs. mode: "Duel," "Sumo," and "Gatekeeper." Liven up competition play with a few new rules.
New Difficulty Levels
•
Novice: Play at the Novice level to get through a level easily. Great for beginners and those who want to reach movie scenes quickly. Even though it's easier than normal, you can still acquire items.
•
Chaos: Play at the "Chaos" level for more of a challenge. More valuable items are your reward at this very difficult level of play.
You get the same EXP Points whether you're playing at the "Novice" or "Chaos" level.
