Mach Speed sections are a feature exclusive to Sonic's gameplay in Sonic the Hedgehog (2006 game). The game engine itself drives Sonic forward at breakneck pace, leaving the player only in control of left/right movement and jumping.
Mach speed occurs four times in Sonic '06, at the end of the levels:
- Wave Ocean, pursuing Doctor Robotnik's Egg Carrier,
- Crisis City, evading a car-throwing fire cyclone,
- Radical Train, chasing after Robotnik's locomotive,
- Kingdom Valley, rushing towards Aquatic Base.
These sections were notoriously difficult to control for many players. Crashing into any obstacles at all would result in Sonic losing rings - and often send him careening right off the side of the level - which would thwart many efforts to achieve an S-rank on the level.
