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.
