Sonic Mania offers several game modes to keep you entertained beyond the main story. Understanding each mode will help you get the most out of your experience:
- Mania Mode: This is the main story mode where you play through all the Zones, defeat Dr. Eggman, and collect the Chaos Emeralds.
- Time Attack: Race against the clock to achieve the fastest times on individual Acts. This mode is perfect for speedrunners and those looking to optimize their routes.
- Competition Mode: Go head-to-head with a friend in a split-screen race through various Acts. The goal is to reach the finish line first.
- Blue Spheres: This classic bonus stage from Sonic 3 & Knuckles is available as a standalone mode. Collect all blue spheres and avoid red ones to earn medals.
Each mode offers a unique challenge and replayability, catering to different playstyles.
