Sonic Mania is due out digitally for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC on August 15 and with that, Sega has revealed the “Competition Mode” that will be featured in the title.
In Competition Mode, winners are determined by factors such as clear time, score, number of items acquired, number of rings acquired when clearing a level, and total number of rings acquired throughout the level. Players can adjust the rules of each match by adjusting items in the item boxes and number of rounds that take place.
