That being said, if these bosses aren’t defeated before Sonic’s ring count drops to zero, it’s game over. It all makes for a grand spectacle that fans of the series will no doubt appreciate. Like the Cyloop, where he has to encircle an enemy for a big slash across the screen, or how Sonic can parry enemy attacks for a ‘Flurry Rush’ limit break opportunity. They transfer over Sonic’s skill moves and make them ten times more epic. Especially the Super Sonic giant battles which are ultra hype. These encounters try to keep speed at the forefront and actually require more than a simple jump on the noggin to win, with each mechanised monstrosity having their own attack patterns and distinct ways of being taken down.

While the typical Sonic herky-jerk still lingers on, especially in the light dash ability and boost trigger, it altogether flows particularly well. Just tonnes of grind-rails, loop-de-loops and wall-running sections which emanate that timeless adrenaline rush fans have been craving.
