Not only can you play SRB2 alone, but with a network connection, your friends as well!
Co-Op |
Similar to a single player game, you can play through the single player levels together. Up to 32 players allowed, but a maximum of 8 is suggested. |
Match |
It's a free for all, and the one with the most points wins! Run
around picking up rings to hurl at your opponent. Points are given
depending on the status of your target:
The player with the most points at the end of the round wins the
round. |
Team Match |
It's a team based fight to the finish. Play match with teammates,
and the team with the biggest total score wins. Scoring is the same
as match mode. Press the "Rankings" key to view scores. Up to a maximum of 32 players allowed. |
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:
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. |
Race |
Just like Sonic 3's split screen mode, each player must race to the end of the level. 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. Best time wins! |
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.
C = Cooperative/Single Player
R = Race/Classic Race
M = Match/Team Match
T = Tag
F = Capture the Flag
