Split-screen race across 5 levels. First to each Master Emerald advances — Level 5’s emerald wins the match.
Each player has 4 lives (hearts at the top). Lose them all and it’s GAME OVER for both. Grab rings and coins. Stomp foes from above. Spikes, pits, and bombs sting — bombs arm when you get close (jump the blast!). Clear Stages 1–4, then race Sidekick Sprint — first to stomp the mystery box gets Tails or Toad. Beat Level 5’s emerald to win.
Stage clear!
LEVEL 2
Master Emerald claimed!
Out of lives!
