Mode is an option chosen by the owner of an ability where you are instructed to "choose one of the following".
Details[]
Some spells such as the Hyperspatial series or spells that have the Double Evolution Burst keyword have this modal choice, but it also exists on creatures.

■ When you put this creature into the battle zone, choose one of the following.

In the case of a spell, the mode is decided at the stage of casting.
- Therefore, if you cast multiple spells at the same time and they have modal abilities, you must choose the mode before you resolve any spells (see Cast).
- If you choose both by an ability such as 'Double Evolution Burst', resolve the abilities from the top to bottom (see Spell Ability).
- If an ability is chosen twice (Example: A Perfect Spell such as Perfect Water), the mode is chosen twice before the chosen ability begins to resolve. You can't choose the first ability, resolve it, and then choose the second ability and resolve it. Spells are resolved starting from the top of the text, so if you select multiple modes, you must resolve them in order from top to bottom.
In case of a Trigger Ability, choose the mode at the time of the trigger. If multiple abilities would trigger at the same, it is necessary to choose the mode before the resolution.
If that creature isn't in the battle zone at the time of referring to a mode, or it has evolved and changed into another choice, that mode will fail.
