Sonic Superstars to feature new Battle Mode

This new mode lets players control their own Metal Fighter with up to four players locally or up to eight online. Players compete in three rounds with randomly chosen events.

These events include:

  • Star Snatcher: Collect the stars that appear at random across the stage. The player who gathers the most stars win!
  • Survival: Deftly dodge oncoming missiles to be the last one standing. The ground will start to collapse as time passes.
  • Zap Scrap: Use electric attacks to deal damage to as many enemies as you can. Picking up items will power up your attacks.
  • Race: Race across a variety of stages. The first player to reach the finish line wins!
