Story
Gameplay
The game is based on the original Sega Mega Drive games, except it is depicted in a 2.5D art style similar to Sonic Generations and Sonic Forces. Players can play as Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Amy and traverse through levels either in single player or simultaneous multiplayer, a first for the series. Also new to the game is the introduction of Emerald Powers, special abilties that can be performed when certain Chaos Emeralds have been collected.
Characters
All four of the playable characters are capable of performing the Spin Attack and Spin Dash, and each have their own unique abilities as listed below.
Sonic the Hedgehog | |
---|---|
“The fastest thing alive! Sonic the Hedgehog runs at mach speeds and is quick to engage those that threaten his friends, his freedom, or the natural world around him. He loves to relax when he's not on an adventure but will jump at the chance to thwart any evil plot from Dr. Eggman.”[7]
Sonic's abilities in this game are the same as in Sonic Mania, in which he is capable of charging a Drop Dash in mid-jump. | |
Miles "Tails" Prower | |
“Miles “Tails” Prower is an energetic fox, a genius mechanic, and the pilot of Sonic's plane, the “Tornado.” Once bullied for having an extra tail, he has since found strength in his uniqueness: by spinning his two tails together, he can propel himself forward and even fly short distances in the air! One of Sonic's closest friends, Tails is the best sidekick anyone could ask for.”[7]
Tails has the same abilities as his previous 2D appearances in that he can fly for a short while, and in co-op play can airlift other characters. | |
Knuckles the Echidna | |
“Knuckles the Echidna is said to be the last of his kind and is bound by duty to protect the Master Emerald on Angel Island. He is known for his immense strength and can use his spiked fists to smash enemies, climb walls, and even destroy solid rock. Gliding is another of his abilities, allowing him to quickly traverse the varied environments of his island and the world beyond.”[7]
Knuckles has the same abilities as his previous 2D appearances in that he can glide through the air and climb walls, as well as break through certain walls by running into them. | |
Amy Rose | |
“Still learning to use her own surprising strength, Amy is a pink hedgehog who wields the huge “Piko Piko Hammer.” She has a strong sense of justice and will always follow her heart to protect the weak, even though that often means putting herself in danger.”[7]
Amy uses the same abilities as her previous playable appearance in Sonic Origins Plus in which she can perform Hammer Attacks in mid-jump and the Hammer Rush when she lands, in addition to being able to Double Jump. |
