Game World Introduction
Adventure Mode features 200 new stages that are set across different worlds, each with their own unique twists and turns that can be experienced either solo, or with others in 4-player co-op! All of this is accompanied by a thrilling story told through fully developed cutscenes.
To give just a taste of what fans can expect, SEGA®️ is introducing a stage from each of the mode’s first five Worlds respectively.
World 1 – Banana Farm
World 1 is naturally designed to progressively teach players all the tools and tricks to set them up for the rest of their adventure! A great example is the stage “Rail Slider,” where steps and ramps taller than the player’s ball are placed throughout the stage. Use the new technique, Spin Dash, to make it through the steps!
World 2 – Rose Garden
In “Wonder Maze,” the stage is designed like a large garden maze. Players will need to look for the correct route to make it to the goal.
World 3 – Floating City
The “Switch and Go” stage has switches that move the different scaffoldings. Here, players will need to use switches at the best timing to reach the goal.
World 4 – Golden Temple
The “Rolling Balls” stage has giant balls that block the player’s way. Players must maneuver these giant objects to make their way to the end.
World 5 – Stone Valley
The “Rocket Launcher” stage has a goal that is located high in the sky. Use the rocket to get launched up in the air and aim for the goal!
