Controls

Sally is slower than Sonic and can't use spin attacks; however, she has a number of stealth and agility-based abilities to compensate and access areas Sonic had difficulty reaching, as well as the use of handheld device NICOLE:

• NICOLE Laser Attack: Press and Sally uses NICOLE to fire a small projectile which hits nearby enemies and obstacles.
• NICOLE Scan Mode: Press and NICOLE will send a data wave to reprogram monitors and other Eggman traps.
• NICOLE Downward Laser: Press + / while airborne to fire at objects straight below. Sally also gets a small vertical boost.
• Slide: Press while running to slide on the ground for a short distance. Sally can also slide under certain obstacles using this method.
• Somersault Dash: Press + while sliding on the ground and Sally will somersault forward at a high speed. This is useful for jumping long distances.
• Upward Dash: Hold + while on the ground and Sally will rev her feet on the spot as opposed to a spin dash. Let go of to charge full throttle in the facing direction. Be careful though, Sally is vulnerable to blockading obstacles and enemies.

Sally gains a few stipulations akin to Knuckles in Sonic 2, for example, the ring quota in Special Stages are depleted and she retains her ring count after losing lives or entering starposts. 2 Player options (also with Sally replacing Sonic) and the ability to play as Tails remain from the original game however.

Bonus Level
