Speed Shoes, also known as Power Sneakers[1][2][3], Super Shoes[4], High-Speed Shoes[5][6], Speed Boots[7] and Fleet Feet[8] (and usually High Speed (ハイスピード) in Japan[9][10][11]) are a common feature of Sonic the Hedgehog games, allowing a character to accelerate faster and hit a higher top speed for a short period. They were first seen in the 1991 Sega Mega Drive release of Sonic the Hedgehog and have appeared in some form in most Sonic games made since.
Speed Shoes are usually accompanied by either by an increased tempo of the in-game music, or in more recent times, a dedicated jingle. The latter method is generally seen on platforms where speeding up the music cannot be achieved for technical reasons (for example, Sonic the Hedgehog CD where audio is streamed at a set rate off a CD-ROM).
