| {{~}}°*<ref group=n>Gameplay performance for Sonic Mania Vita is normal in regular stages without the need to overclock. However, frames drop immensely during certain special stages, especially in giant ring special stages when too many objects appear on the screen. [https://gamebanana.com/mods/408483 No Special Stage Decorations] and [https://gamebanana.com/mods/443928 No Special Stage Decorations PLUS] mods (if enabling Plus DLC and playing Plus' extra special stages) are recommended to increase performance during giant ring special stages. Overclocking and using No Special Stage Decorations mods increases performance to nearly full speed. Overclocking also brings the Blue Sphere special stage to full speed. ('''Tip:''' If Blue Sphere special stages get too fast and too difficult, the player can underclock to make Blue Sphere special stages easier.)</ref>

° * = Overclocking CPU speed is necessary to achieve full speed. Plugins that allow the user to control their PS Vita's CPU include [https://github.com/dots-tb/LOLIcon LOLIcon], and [https://store.brewology.com/vita/ahomebrew.php?brewid=761 LOLITA500], [https://github.com/Electry/PSVshell PSVshell], and [https://github.com/GrapheneCt/PSVshellPlus PSVshellPlus] (recommended).
