In addition to the Original Mode, High Score Mode, and Caravan Mode included in the Arcade Archive series, the Arcade Archives 2 series will add new features such as Time Attack Mode and Network Mode. In Time Attack Mode, you compete to see who can beat the final boss the fastest stating from the first battle.
