Line 1:
There are several distinct types of multiplayer modes in [[Video Games]].
In '''Meta Multiplayer''', only one player is present playing in their own game at a time, but there are other players doing this as well.
Subtypes include:
* Leaderboards: Players compete with other single players for performance in the game. Heavily based on [[Scoring Points]].
* [[Succession Game]]: Players take a turn in a single-player game, then relinquish control to another at a certain point in the game's progress.
* Non-Preemptive Multiplayer: Two individual games that take turns. The two game sessions are kept entirely separate. Both scores may be tracked and directly compared for competition.
* Recorded/Ghost Matches: One player's game is recorded from start to finish, and another player competes directly against the recorded game.
Compare [[Competitive Multiplayer]], [[Co-Op Multiplayer]] and [[Massively Multiplayer]].
These are not exclusively video game tropes - for example, Baseball is Massively Multiplayer, Golf is Leaderboard Meta Multiplayer, and Air Racing (at least the way that Red Bull used to sponsor it) is Ghost Match Meta Multiplayer - but All The Tropes tends to avoid covering sports because they rarely exhibit tropes.
