Zone Battle

Zone Battle is a multiplayer variation of Zone Mode in the Fury DLC, with several changes. One difference you find in this mode is that all ships retain their Fury design and all ships seem like they are made with glass with silver outlines. However, just like in Zone Mode, all ships have maxed stats, regardless of company.

Objective
The objective of Zone Battle is simple: reach zone 14 (Supersonic) before your opponents do.

Gameplay
Gameplay is also similar to Zone with a few differences. Instead of having more than one hundred zones, there are only fourteen, which can be found out on the Speed Classes page. Another addition are the zone pads. These pads give you a short burst of speed, just like boost pads, but also fills the guage at the bottom of the screen. This guage has two sides: one that says "boost" and another that says "absorb." If your ship has gone over at least two pads, you can choose either to use one or the other. Using the boost option by pressing square, you preform whats called a "zone boost." Using a "zone boost" acts like a turbo, and also increases your zone count and leaves behind a barrier, which opponents can crash into. Absorbing the meter will refill you energy meter a little and bring up a shield, which you can use to pass through barriers without damaging your ship. Also, if the required zone isn't reached after a while, the required zone will begin to decrease until someone attains it.
