3D Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is heading to the Japanese 3DS eShop on July 22. We already heard that the game supports local co-op, and now some information has surfaced about a new mode.

SEGA and M2 have added the “Ring Keep” mode to 3D Sonic the Hedgehog 2. This has players starting a stage with 10 rings, though that amount is halved each time you take damage. It’s a small but nice addition for those looking for an extra challenge!

Rising Star Games wrote on its Twitter account today that it is “no longer involved in discussions to publish the title.” However, 3DS owners can still look forward to other announcements in the future.
