Play FAQ

Do I need a second player to play?

No, it's a single-player game. The game's AI controls your tethered partner character, but you control the main protagonist directly.

Why is Sonic slower than in Genesis games?

The physics model and isometric design were tailored around the tether mechanics and level layouts, resulting in a generally more methodical, momentum-focused pace compared to the classic 2D games.

What's the main goal in each level?

Your goal is to find five monitor-like 'Rings' hidden throughout each Stage (or 'Attraction'). Each one you touch removes one of Dr. Eggman/Robotnik's devices projecting the zone. Collect all five to clear the level.

Why is Knuckles playable here but not in Sonic 3?

This game's story predates the events of Sonic & Knuckles. The Chaotix team was originally Knuckles' crew, and he is included here before his role in Sonic & Knuckles was solidified.

Were there any special abilities for each character?

Yes, each had a slight specialty. Sonic could roll and spindash, Knuckles could climb/general abilities, Espio could cling/roll up walls, Mighty had stronger punches, and Charmy could hover or float briefly.
