World Grand Prix & The Playgroupful Stadium is an offline single-player or co-op mode in which the player attempts to defeat 10 fighters in a row, before (potentially) facing a final boss. It includes a mix of fights and sporting events. Biff Weightman commentates in between rounds, providing useful information to the player.
Plot
Structure and Difficulty
Difficulty levels
The Grand Prix has multiple different difficulty levels the user can select from. The difficulty scale starts at 1 and ends at 7, with difficulty level 1 being the easiest and difficulty level 7 being the hardest, similar to other Nintendo games such as Kid Icarus Uprising. The behaviour of the fighters, and the fights played at the end of the game, change with each difficulty level. Since Version 5.0.0, for Grand Prix LV6 and lower, the computer will now get stronger as you get deeper into the Grand Prix & The Playgroupful Stadium. For Grand Prix & The Playgroupful Stadium LV7, the computer will start out strong right from the first match, as usual.
Structure of rounds
The structure of the rounds the player partakes in is as follows*, with small differences depending on the number of players:

*No fighter will be fought twice when playing solo. In co-op, fighters may appear twice, but never twice as the main opponent.
**The same mode will not appear twice. For example, if a player plays Skillshot Arena Stadium in Match 3, they will not play Skillshot Arena Stadium again in Match 6.
All fighters are potential opponents between Stage 1 and Semifinals in completely random order except Max Brass, Dr. Coylenuva Ruesga, and Springtron Man.
All fighters are fought on their respective stage. The only exception is Match 1, however, which takes place at the stage of the fighter selected by the player 1. (Except for Max Champion Brassman, who will fight on Spring Stadium Adventure for Stage 1.)
When you lose a match, you can rematch as much as possible, and save & quit in each round. Except in Springtron Man's match, it will skip to Grand Finale automatically.
When playing with two players, each round consists of two fighters, not one, with the main opponent shown in the introduction to the match and another selected at random, but not repeating in second role.

Trivia
- Because Max Champion Brassman's stage of origin is the Sky Arena Adventurework and can only be played in the Grand Prix towards the end when the player confronts him, whenever playing as Max Champion Brassman the first round will always be a fight with Spring Man in Spring Stadium Adventure.
- Because duo Springtron Mans are a secret bosses with their own team battle, whenever play as him in the Grand Finale, Max Champion Brassman's partner will substitute to Spring Man.
- When playing co-op World Grand Prix & The Playgroupful Stadium, the partner to Max Champion Brassman at the 85th fight will always be player 1's character.
