===2 Player VS===
In '''2 Player VS''' mode, two players compete against each other -either as [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]] or [[Miles "Tails" Prower|Tails]] - in a split-screen race through three regular zones and one Special Stage. Regular zones include Emerald Hill, Casino Night and Mystic Cave and have different music from their one player counterparts, while the Special Stage remains the same as in single player. In the regular levels, players are ranked in five areas (score, time, rings held at the end of the level, total rings collected, and number of item boxes broken), with the player scoring highest in the most levels winning the round, while in the Special Stage, players compete to obtain the most rings. Once one player finishes one of the regular levels, the other player must finish the zone within 60 seconds or lose a life.

In case of a tie, an additional Special Stage round must be completed. Also, to heighten the stakes, there are two unique items in versus-mode: a [[Player Swap|Teleporter]] item that instantly switches positions between players in a zone, and an [[Eggman Mark|Eggman]] item that damages the unlucky player. Furthermore, an optional setting allows that all item boxes in two-player mode are only Teleporters.
