| Genre: Puzzle |
Sonic Labyrinth is an isometric puzzle/platformer for the Sega Game Gear. Sonic must move around a pinball-like arena, using his power to roll into a ball to defeat badniks and pick up keys in order to exit through the Goal door and clear the stage. The only move Sonic can use in the game is the spindash, because Doctor Ivo Robotnik secretly replaced his famous red shoes with another pair that took away his ability to run fast or jump.
Gameplay
The game uses a 3D isometric overhead view similar to that of Sonic 3D: Flickies' Island. However gameplay is restricted to a single button which is the spindash. There is no jump button whatsoever. The objective of each level is to collect 3 keys in order to be able to exit through the door which leads to the next level. There is also a time limit, this can be increased by collecting keys or by destroying enemies. Boss levels lack a timer so these can be tackled at the players leasure.
The powerups are also not contained in monitors but are found inside colored triangles instead. These powerups can increase time, destroy onscreen enemies, grant lives, increase movement speed, or grant invincibility. Rings can only be found inside bonus areas and these will increase lives, not health. Regardless if rings are collected the character will die after taking a certain number of hits.
The time attack mode allows players to race to achieve best times. When completed a best time and score are given. In addition to that there is a 5-digit password which has no actual use in the game. The password was for use in a contest held in Japan where one hundred players with the best times would be awarded prizes. The contest was only held from November 17-December 31st in 1995.
