2P Play

The screen for 2P Play, from Sonic Heroes.

2P Play, 2P Mode, or 2P Play Mode is the multiplayer mode in Sonic Adventure 2, Sonic Adventure 2: Battle and Sonic Heroes where two players can play together and compete in one stage in a variety of modes. These modes are usually focused on some of the gameplay mechanics of the game. As such, two controllers must be connected to the console in order to access this mode.

After selecting one of the modes, both players will then be able to select one of the available teams; however, both players cannot use the same team. Finally the first player can select which of the modes' three stages they would like to play, or select "ALL", which both players play all of the stages listed. In this case, the player that wins two of the stages first wins the mode overall.

Sonic Adventure 2

Before setting up their game, the players must decide which team they want to control, then select from either the "Race", "Shooting Battle", or "Treasure Hunt" categories. Players must be the first to reach the Goal Ring in the "Race" mode, be the last one standing in "Shooting Battle", and find two of the three Emerald Shards in "Treasure Hunt".
