Sonic Superstars New Battle Mode Feature Revealed
SEGA has revealed a new Battle Mode feature for Sonic Superstars. Players can compete online with up to eight players, or four players locally, in races, survival stages, and more. Players will control a Metal Fighter in Battle Mode and will be able to customise their Metal Fighter. Players will compete to win across three rounds of battle stages.
Official descriptions for different Battle Mode stages:
- Race – Reach the goal before the other players.
- Zap Scrap – Shoot bullets to attack other players. Points are added when you damage an opponent and decrease when you take damage. Open an item box to earn a single powered up bullet.
- Star Snatcher – Collect stars within the time limit. You will lose one star if you take damage.
- Survival – Stay on the stage until the end while avoiding cannonballs flying from the back of the screen. The scaffolding will collapse if it is hit by a cannonball, or if you stay in one place for too long. If you fall off the screen, then you are out of the game
Points are earned according to the rank received for each round and the player with the most points wins.
You can earn Medals in online battles to purchase custom parts for your Metal Fighter in the shop. You will unlock new parts to purchase as you progress. Changing parts does not affect your Metal Fighter’s abilities.
In offline battle mode, you can play single player against AI opponents or with up to three other players in split-screen mode. Offline mode does not feature Medals and does not increase your Rank.
