| - Playable on any of the DS Battle Stages, the goal is to pick up Shine Sprites that randomly appear on the floor. There's usually a lot of at the beginning of the match, and in total there is 9 of them (preventing any ties). After 60 seconds, when players have had quite enough time to collect them, the racer (can be more than one) who have the least amount of Shine Sprites are eliminates. Then the segments for removal are narrowed down to half the time. Of course, Shine Runners is a Battle Mode, so what would it be without a little Item mayhem!? Item Boxes are very plentiful, and whenever someone is damaged by a Shell, Banana, or even the savage Lightning (this unleashes chaos, as weak drivers will be left Shineless and be in a frenzy to pick up one before the 30 second alarm), one of their Shine Sprites will go flying (sometimes way out or just a few inches). The ousting every 30 seconds continues until only one driver is left with the most Shine Sprites in storage. That player, of course, gets to be the winner.
- Shine Runners is a battle game in Mario Kart DS. The objective of Shine Runners is to collect and steal Shine Sprites from other players. The racers have sixty seconds to get as many Shine Sprites as possible. Racers can steal the Shine Sprites from their opponents. The players with the least amount of Shine Sprites when the time is up is removed from the game, and thirty seconds are added to the time. The person with the most Shine Sprites is the winner. It is very similar to Coin Runners.
