Tag Time Attack is a game mode (a type of the Marathon Challenge) released in 
bug-fix version (and then it was named Timed Tag Team). In 
, it was officially released and had 5 stages, after completing each of which you could get a character and/or a board (some challenges in the following updates are regular, that is, they don't have special rewards and consist of only 1 or 3 stages, or special, which have special rewards and consist of 5 stages). This challenge can only be played with certain characters.
Technically, it's Tag Team, but now there's a timer in the game: the player has 1 minute to run and can replenish the time by collecting 
, which add +10 seconds. If the time runs out — the game is over.
- The minimum required score to complete the event is usually 2.5M (if you are at
30 or higher).
How to Play?
- Pick up hourglasses to increase your time.
- All points are added up for your score.
- Your surfers need to rest after each run.
- Switch surfers to keep in going and get bigger rewards!
