Thunder Barrier and Magnetic Barrier

It looks like the Japanese releases have been consistent about treating the Thunder Barrier (サンダーバリア) and Magnetic Barrier (磁力バリア Jiryoku Barrier) as separate items.

Thunder Barrier (S3, S&K, Generations, Mania)

  • Attracts rings
  • Deflects projects
  • Disappears in water
  • Allows Sonic to 2-step jump (2段ジャンプ)
  • Electric immunity

Magnetic Barrier (Adventure 1-2, Advance etc.)

  • Attracts rings
  • CAN be used in water

Sonic R's version, simply called Thunder (サンダー), is a little different, since Sonic can double-jump as standard and there are no projectiles or electricity in the game, but it still follows the rule of disappearing in water.

All this being said, I'm unfamiliar with how Sonic Lost World treated its version of the item, or how it's named. Since Miiverse is gone, I don't think it's available in the Wii U/PC version anymore.

We could have them as separate pages, but if not, it might be worth clearly distinguishing the two on this page. What does everyone think? --Pecky (talk) 12:22, 12 May 2019 (EDT)

It's a good point, although regardless of what happens I think the best plan is to set this page up similarly to what I did with the Water Shield, i.e. explain its role in each game individually, because there are bound to be strange things and weird overlaps.
I too don't know how some of the newer games handle things. I also can't remember if the magnetic shield protects against electricity in Sonic Adventure - I have a feeling it might, but it's been a while. -Black Squirrel (talk) 13:07, 12 May 2019 (EDT)
