With the game’s new online feature being a main selling point, Nintendo Switch Sports has worked in a mini-battle royale mode in Survival Bowling. Here’s how it works.

To play Survival Bowling in Nintendo Switch Sports, you just need to play online and search for a lobby with up to 16 players. This is an elimination mode where every three frames, the players with the lowest scores are eliminated from play. As long as you survive to the next round, you keep going until the tenth and final frame decides the victor.

Besides the elimination factor, this is a standard game of Bowling. Everything that usually goes is in play here, with you aiming to get as many strikes and spares as possible while avoiding gutter balls. You can always see how your score relates to other players in the game and how close you ate to advancing to the next round of frames. After you finish a frame, you will have to wait for everyone else in the lobby to catch up and record their scores.
