SEGA has revealed new gameplay, information and screenshots introducing the Battle Mode feature of Sonic Superstars. Get all the details below!
Battle Mode offers players the ability to compete online with up to eight players or up to four players locally in a variety of races, survival stages, and more. In Battle Mode, players will take control of a Metal Fighter, customize it to their liking, and compete to win in three rounds of randomly selected battle stages:
Career: Reach the finish line before the other players.
ZapScrap: Fire bullets to attack other players. Points will be added when you damage an opponent and decreased when you take damage. Open an item box to get an upgraded bullet.
Star Snatcher: Collect stars within the time limit. You will lose a star if you take damage.
Survival: Stay on the stage until the end while avoiding cannon shots flying from the back of the screen. Scaffolds will collapse if they are hit by a cannon shot or if you stay in one place for too long. If you fall off the screen, you will be out of the game. Points are earned based on each round’s battle ranking, and the player with the most accumulated points wins!
In online battles, you can also earn Medals and use them in the store to purchase custom parts for your Metal Fighter. The type of parts you can buy will increase as you progress through the game. It is important to note that changing parts does not affect your Metal Fighter’s abilities.
In offline battle mode, you can play solo against AI-controlled opponents or with up to three other players in split-screen mode. There are no Medals or rank changes in offline mode.
Sonic Superstars will be released on October 17 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. Get ready for an exciting battle experience in the Sonic universe.
