'''Story Mode''' | '''Story Mode''' is a generic term for the main mode of a video game. It is the mode where the actual storyline and [[canon]] takes place. The {{pg}} (excluding {{pb}}) all have a story mode, and it is always the top item in the [[Menu/Title screen|main menu]]. Story modes are contrasted with alternative game modes such as [[Mission Mode]] or [[2-Player Battle]]. | ||
