Gameplay FAQ
How do Sonic and Tails differ in Gameplay?
Sonic can Spin-Dash, allowing rapid bursts of speed; Tails cannot, but gets the unique advantage to fly for a few seconds. This makes Tails ideal for vertical navigation.
What are the keys for Spin-Dashing?
Playing as Sonic: Press and hold the action/X/Z (crouch input varies) key for a few seconds then release to dash out as a spin ball!
How does damage/death work in Sonic Chaos?
If Sonic or Tails get hit while holding at least one ring, they drop them all (with a chance to recover briefly) and can be hit again. Being hit with 0 rings costs 1 life.
