SEGA has announced a brand new mode for Sonic Mania. In the final game, players will be able to experience Competition Mode.

Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles are all playable here. Winners are determined by various factors, including clear time, score, number of items acquired, number of rings acquired when clearing the level, and total number of rings acquired throughout the level. Rules of each match can be adjusted by selecting items in the item boxes and number of rounds that take place.

At Comic-Con last month, SEGA announced that Special Stages will be included in Sonic Mania. It has since been confirmed that Bonus Stages (“Blue Spheres”) and Time Attack are in.

Here’s the rundown of each:

SEGA has delivered a new piece of music from Sonic Mania. We’ve included the track for Stardust Speedway Zone Act 1 below.

A pair of interesting retailer listings have been spotted that may point to a possible “Day One Edition” for Sonic Forces.

Amazon Spain and XtraLife both list the release, though there’s an important caveat here. Neither store has the Sonic Forces Day One Edition for Switch – only PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. However, we did come across a listing from Game Mania in the Netherlands that does list it for Nintendo’s console.

At San Diego Comic-Con last week, SEGA hosted a special behind the scenes panel for Sonic Mania. Many fans were unable to attend, but thanks to a recording, the full event is now available for viewing. Check it out below.

At Comic-Con on Saturday, SEGA revealed that Special Stages will be included in Sonic mania. We now have the first direct-feed screenshot, attached above.

Following up on last night’s news about Special Stages in Sonic Mania, SEGA has prepared new music that can now be listened to on YouTube. “Dimension Heist”, the theme being used in these levels, is included in the video below.

SEGA gave fans a first look at Special Stages in Sonic Mania during a panel at Comic-Con today. They’re inspired by titles on the Saturn and CD. You’ll collect rings for more time and Blue Spheres for more speed while chasing down a UFO for a Chaos Emerald.

Earlier this week, SEGA and Archie Comics ended their 24-year relationship on Sonic comics. That wasn’t the end of the Blue Blur’s appearance in comics as a whole, however.

SEGA announced a new partnership with IDW Publishing today that will see a new line of Sonic comics starting in 2018. Teams are currently being formed and a publishing plan is being put into place. SEGA says that additional details will be shared later.
