'''Haunted Ship''' is the fourth stage of ''[[Sonic Rush Adventure]]''. As with other stages in the game, {{PAGENAME}} consists of two standard Acts followed by a dedicated boss Act. Silver [[Material]] can be found here.
  
'''Haunted Ship''' is the fourth level in ''[[Sonic Rush Adventure]]''; another destination in the tropical seas of the [[Sol Dimension]]. This place is a nautical graveyard; rotting, half-sunken sailing ships litter the fog-wreathed waters, while robotic ghosts and skeletons clamber across the ancient rigging. [[Sonic]] and [[Blaze]] have to bounce along elastic ropes, climbing in skeletal barrels and giant cannons to blast from wreck to wreck. [[Captain Whisker]] hides out here, so not all of the ships are decrepit; when pirate galleons arrive in the background, get moving - there's a broadside on the way!

If the player presses the corresponding button when the button turns orange (as they go through the hoop), they can earn Combo Stars, but pressing at the wrong time or the wrong button will lose the Combo.

Haunted Ship is the fourth stage of Sonic Rush Adventure. As with other stages in the game, Haunted Ship consists of two standard Acts followed by a dedicated boss Act. Silver Material can be found here.

Story

Captain Whisker stole the Jewelled Scepter from Coral Cave while the Ghost Kraken kept Sonic and Blaze distracted; after the robot pirate escapes with it, the heroes are fresh out of leads. Blaze tells Tails to see if he can rig up a radio mast on Southern Island, to see if there's any electromagnetic activity that might point them in the direction of a clue. This requires Sonic to go searching for more Material; but eventually, the tower is built and signals are detected coming from the eastern fogs.

Sailing in that direction, Sonic, Blaze, Tails, and Marine find a small island, and thereupon Kylok, a member of the Coconut Crew. The koala tells them that a reputedly haunted region lies further east; Marine, scared of ghosts, is determined not to admit any fear to her "crew". The team press on and eventually arrive in this spooky sea.

This is the first main level where the player is given a choice of taking Sonic or Blaze into the stage. Blaze is usually the preferred choice, as her Axel Tornado move (Spring, Up+R) gets significantly more height than Sonic's Hop Jump - a considerable advantage when bouncing around the elastic rigging.

Overview

This place is a nautical graveyard; rotting, half-sunken sailing ships litter the fog-wreathed waters, while robotic ghosts and skeletons clamber across the ancient rigging. Sonic and Blaze have to bounce along elastic ropes, climbing in skeletal barrels and giant cannons to blast from wreck to wreck. Captain Whisker hides out here, so not all of the ships are decrepit; when pirate galleons arrive in the background, there's a broadside on the way, so the player must run as fast as they can.
