Competition

Just like Sonic 2's split screen mode, each player must race to the end of the level. At the end of the stage, players will be ranked based on the following five categories:

Score - The player with the most points wins this category.
Time - The player who beat the stage the fastest wins this category.
Ring - The player who completed the stage with the most rings wins this category.
Total Ring - The player who picked up the most rings wins this category. Rings lost to enemies and hazards still count towards this score.
Item Box - The player who broke the most powerup monitors wins this category.

When one player has completed the stage, the rest of the players in the game have 60 seconds to complete the stage or they will die and the round will end. The player who wins the most categories wins the round.

Tag

You're it! Up to 32 people can play in this touch-and-run frenzy! One player is it, and can tag others either by throwing a ring, or by touching them. You become it once you're hit. In some levels there is a no-tag zone, but don't stay in there too long! You gain points by avoiding a tag each time one occurs.

Press the "Rankings" key to view scores. Up to a maximum of 32 players allowed.

Capture the Flag

Just like the popular FPS game, but with a platforming twist! Choose a team - Red or Blue. Grab the opposing team's flag and bring it back to your base while your own team's flag is in the base to score a point.

Press the "Rankings" key to view scores. Up to a maximum of 32 players allowed.

You'll notice that in the LEVEL NAME, after the level, are letters in parenthesis. This tells you what kind of level it is.

Multiplayer can make heavy use of the console, and you may find several commands to your advantage. Please refer to the Console Commands.
