To activate debug mode, a series of inputs are required. The game was rereleased on Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network in November 2012, which included a couple of characters who weren't playable in the arcade release. Due to Sega of America's fear of the game being seen as violent (despite its violence being 100% slapstick), the game saw an extremely limited release outside Japan.Ī Saturn port was planned but never materialized, and the game remained an obscurity until Sonic Gems Collection. Now more commonly advertised under its Japanese name of Sonic the Fighters, Sonic Championship sees the fuzzy blue mascot taking on Fighting Vipers, with mixed results.
This game has unused playable characters.
