The board will end when all the Precioustones have been collected.
The winner will be decided by the number of Emblems that were collected. See
Page 9 for more about Emblems. You will only be able to advance to the next stage
if you are in first place at the end of the board. If you are unable to place first, you
must play the same board over again.
At the end of each board in STORY mode, the rings you collected during the game
will be put into the Sonic Bank. You can then buy pictures using these rings in the
SONIC ROOM. See Page 8.

Duels
Unlike STORY Mode, there are Duels in VERSUSMode. You will
have to duel if you land on the same Battle Space or Ring
Space as another player. If there are already several players on
the same space, the latest arrival must duel against the first
person to land on that particular space. The loser in a duel will
either lose rings or rest one turn if they have no rings.
Saving
In this mode, the game will not be saved and the rings collected in VERSUS Mode will not
be added to the Sonic Bank.

Emblems. When the players have completed the board, the game will end and the Title
