Genre: 2D Platform

This short article is in need of work. You can help Sonic Retro by adding to it.

Sonic Rush is a game from Sega for the Nintendo DS. It was released in November 2005.

The game is a 2D platformer in virtually all of the game, much like the Sega Genesis and Game Boy Advance titles in the series. However, the player, as well as the bosses, are fully polygonal. There is but a single part of the game where three-dimensional movement is possible. Both the top and bottom screens are used during Acts, and the player switches between them when they reach certain heights or depths. The Touch Screen has only one use in the game: Special Stages. When Sonic enters a Special Stage, it looks and feels quite similar to those from Sonic the Hedgehog 2, but you control him with the stylus. Also, there are balloons which fire Sonic into the air. When this happens, you must tap certain spots on the screen in order to get 5, 10, or 20 Ring bonuses. Finally, you can attack enemies by tapping them on the screen.

The two playable characters are Sonic the Hedgehog and Blaze the Cat. Though the adventures are completely different, they cross paths multiple times and play through the same Zones (though in a different order). Blaze's game starts first chronologically.

Tails the Fox and Cream the Rabbit act as supporting characters to Sonic and Blaze respectively, cheering them on during boss battles and helping them through the game.

Story

Blaze the Cat, a female feline character from another dimension, suddenly appears in Sonic's home dimension. Upon arrival, she notices that the Sol Emeralds, powerful gems she was carrying with her, are gone. The last thing she remembers is that she was chasing "him" when she was engulfed in a white light. She proceeds to the nearest city, Night Carnival Zone, to begin her search.

Upon reaching the boss of the area, she finds "him", revealed to the player to be Dr. Eggman. He flaunts the Sol Emeralds, stating he needs them to access ultimate power. Enraged, Blaze defeats his contraption, and regains one of the seven Sol Emeralds, while he manages to escape.

Confused and alone, Blaze ponders how she will get the Emeralds back, and indeed, how to return home. Cream and Cheese spot her while hiding in the bushes, where they are quickly spotted. They speak for a moment before Cream flies Blaze to her house, where Blaze meets Vanilla, Cream's mother, who understands how pushy Cream can be. They tell Blaze that Sonic would be able to help her reclaim the Emeralds, but she dismisses the offer, stating she can do it all on her own.

Elsewhere, Sonic is travelling through the Leaf Storm Zone, when he encounters Dr. Eggman, again talking about ultimate power. Defeating him, Sonic sees the Sol Emerald he drops, at which point Blaze appears in a blaze of fire and reclaims it, thanking Sonic for defeating Eggman before leaving.
