Getting a Game Over literally a space away from victory? I don't think I like this game mode that much... It's supposed to be a quicker way of making players compared to the visual novel-style Success Mode, but you wind up getting Game Over'd so often it takes about as long sometimes. Way too RNG-heavy, in my opinion at least. (And yeah, I got a bit greedy at the end there, but come on!)

A bit of explanation:
-You have 5 stages (sometimes 6) to grow your player's attributes while getting to the Goal in time
-Running out of energy (top bar) results in a Game Over
-Blue spaces boost the stat indicated at random intervals. From top to bottom:
-Trajectory (how high you hit the ball)
-Contact
-Batting Power
-Running Speed
-Arm Strength
-Fielding
-Error Resistance
-Running into other players/NPCs gives a stat boost/ability dependant on the player/NPC
-Treasure chests give a random stat boost/ability
-Red spaces do something bad to whatever's indicated (deplete spirit or energy, decrease a random attribute, etc.)
-The onigiri spaces change energy; green gives a random amount and red takes away a random amount
-Smiley-face spaces are for spirit (on the left); green boosts, red subtracts; I don't know what spirit even affects though
-Purple "?" spaces do something good or bad at complete random (refreshing blank spaces, giving/taking away energy, etc.)
-Purple shuffle spaces do exactly that - shuffle the spaces around, including NPCs and treasure chests
-Purple ability spaces change all blue ability spaces to that specific ability
-The woman that appears in stages 4 & 5 will knock you across the map and deplete your energy; not an automatic Game Over but it will be one in most cases... except if you approach her from behind before she gets mad, in which case she'll get shy, give you an energy bonus, and leave. Also, sometimes you'll repel her attack, though I'm not sure what causes this.
