Seriously, as an Aussie, I can't get over "anyways"!
That plural doesn't exist here.

Oxford calls it "informal" and North American:

Notice, it means the same thing as "anyway."  So it is not a plural.  It is completely useless.  Except if one wishes to sound uneducated.  Saying "anyways" does not make one sound well-educated.
