First Appearance in Mode Lab	Season 3

Flag Mode is a mode in KartRider franchise.

It was released in Season 3 as a mode for Mode Lab.

In this mode two teams of four race around the track, collecting Flags and returning them to their Flag Zones to score Points. Item boxes appear in Flag Mode, just like in Item mode, and can be used to knock Flags loose from enemy racers.

There are 2 flags on the map (1 flag for each team) until 1 minute timer, then 4 flags (2 flags each). Flags spawn in the centre of the map.

Race ends after the first team score 20 points or after 3 minutes. If both teams are tied when time expires, an Overtime period is played where the first team to 10 Points wins. During Overtime flags spawn in random spots of the map.

The May 2024 patch introduced Skill Flag Mode, a variant of the mode where racers have access to their characters' skills.
