SEGA is showing off some hot new content today for Sonic Mania. Those looking forward to seeing the hedgehog back in action may get a kick out of seeing the reveal of the game's new Time Attack mode and the game's special stages.
Sonic Mania is still looking to be released on August 15 for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, and Switch. You can pre-order either the Standard Edition or the Limited Collector's Edition for your platform of choice.
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 was also revealed to be a new mode in Sonic Mania. 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.
In 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!
