Genre: 3D Board Game/Mini Game

</div>

Sonic Shuffle is a video game for the Sega Dreamcast and was Sega's answer to the successful Nintendo party game, Mario Party. In Sonic Shuffle, the player can play as one of the main characters of the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise. The game supports up to 4 players and allows for players to play in teams and play against one another on a giant game board, going around and playing mini games to collect points. The overall goal of the game is to collect the most precioustones. The game featured 5 different “game boards” and had 8 playable characters, 4 of which needed to be unlocked. Sonic, Tails, Amy, Knuckles, Super Sonic, Big the Cat, Gamma, and a Chao. Each character has a special ability that was unique to them.

The story involves Sonic and company getting caught up in a mess in a land called Maginary World. A villain named Void has shattered the Precioustone into many pieces and Lumina Flowlight and the rest of Maginary world are counting on Sonic to restore it. At the end of the game it is revealed that Lumina and Void both are Illumina, the Goddess of the land who dissapeared when the Precioustone was shattered. The game features around 50 mini games and around 30 mini events.

  • Eggbot's Attack! - While the four players run down a city street, one player is placed in a giant walker left in the middle of the road. The player in the walker tries to crush the players on the ground as they race down the street. The team wins if anyone is not crushed after 30 seconds.
