Sonic Speed Simulator is a multiplayer online Sonic the Hedgehog game developed for the Roblox platform under license from Sega. It was first available as a closed beta on March 30, 2022[1] followed by an official public release on April 16 that same year[2]. Updates are released every Sunday, with special updates released upon players reaching certain milestones[3].
On February 10th, 2023, a major update for the game was released, renaming the game to Sonic Speed Simulator Reborn. This update drastically changed the size of all maps, rebirth progression, pets, and other features added after the update was released.

Gameplay
Before Reborn

This short section needs expansion. You can help Sonic Retro by adding to it. |
In the game, the player must dash around the 6 Zones in the game to collect Chaos Orbs, which grant varying amounts of XP. Upon collection enough XP, the character levels up, increasing base speed and power (power is capped off at 100 without the help of pet enchants.) At 0 rebirths, the maximum level is 25, increasing by 25 for each rebirth. Rebirthing can only be done when the maximum level is reached and grants rewards such as extra rings and a permanent XP multiplier, but resets the current level to 0 and respawning you in Green Hill. By becoming faster, you are able to take on races easier. Races are short, normally minute-long courses that require a fast character to go through due to the nature of these courses and the strict time limit. Collecting and levelling up types of Chao and Trails can make the process of levelling up and rebirthing easier.
Other than what is mentioned above, other activities to do include riding the Tornado in a short shooter segment, Clearing small obstacle courses (called "Obbies" in-game,) and clearing events for more characters.
After Reborn

In the new edition of the game, the player must dash around the 3 Zones in the game to Collect Chaos Orbs, granting varying amounts of XP. Upon collection enough XP, the character levels up, increasing base speed and power. Unlike before, player level is no longer capped and can theoretically reach infinite limits without any rebirths. The higher the level you reach, the more Rebirth Tokens you gain. Upon rebirthing, you get the respective amount of Rebirth Tokens to what level you were while rebirthing. These tokens can be used to increase multipliers for XP, Rings, and Damage at increments of .25 percent each.
Rings are largely unchanged, with most purchasable items becoming more expensive due to the introduction of ring multipliers.
Pets have been heavily altered in progression; pets no longer level up from the XP you collect, but now level up by spending rings and Red Star Rings for each level. Pets now cap at level 25 instead of level 99.
The final section of the game involves fighting Dr. Eggman in a boss fight. In this fight, you and multiple other players work together to dodge Dr. Eggman's ice attacks to destroy the generators protecting his Egg Mobile. The higher your damage is from your pets and multiplier, the more damage you will deal to Eggman and the generators. The faster you and your teammates defeat Eggman, the more spins you receive from the Boss Spin Wheel, being able to earn rewards like new Chao or temporary boosts.
All activities from before this update, including races and the tornado flight, have been removed.

Controversies
Following the addition of Sonic Prime promotional content to Funky Friday, ninjamuffin99, the original developer and creator of Friday Night Funkin', of which the Roblox game is an unofficial recreation of, voiced displeasure over the partnership within the recreation of his game. Ninjamuffin99 is currently looking for information from his lawyers on the subject.[4] [5]
After the original statements from ninjamuffin99, Digital Purgatory, a former Gamefam employee and modeler for several characters within Sonic Speed Simulator, including Classic Sonic and Sonic the Werehog, created a document going over his experiences working with Gamefam. This included being underpaid, being crunched for weekly updates, and being terminated from the company without a 10-day notice[6]. In a response to the allegations, Gamefam Studios posted an image on December 12th that claims that the accusations brought upon them were false, with little evidence to back up their claims[7].
On April 10th, 2023, an unofficial news account for the game, as well as a former developer for Gamefam Studios, posted details alleging the company of not allowing employees to discuss pay, threatening them with termination of employment.[8].
