Sonic Mania Unveils Bonus Stages and Time Attack Mode

Sonic Mania Unveils Bonus Stages and Time Attack Mode

Today, SEGA officially announced the Bonus Stages, Time Attack Mode, and Special Stages, with some nifty videos to go along with them.

Here’s an overview of each, via Sega:

  • Bonus Stages – In “Blue Spheres”, players navigate Sonic, Tails, or Knuckles through a series of blue spheres to clear the stage. But be careful! Once touched, the blue spheres will turn red. Touching a red sphere instantly ends the Bonus Stage. Silver Medallions are awarded to players who complete the Bonus Stage, while collecting all the blue spheres and rings awards players with a perfect score and a Gold Medallion.
  • Time Attack – Prove you’re the best of the best in Time Attack, which lets players compete for fastest speed in the world by recording their time in the game’s online leaderboard.
  • Special Stages – Players chase down enemy UFOs to secure various Chaos Emeralds. Collecting blue spheres along the way will give their character an added boost of speed to their meter. Once the meter fills up, the Mach level increases. Just watch out and don’t speed off the stage!

Sonic Mania is due out digitally for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC on August 15.

Check out the Trailer:

These are definitely some great additions to something that is already solid. I was already excited for Sonic Mania, and seeing all of these little extra additions makes me even more hyped for the game, especially the Sonic statue that comes with the Collector’s Edition.
