The Homing Attack has a new feature, the "sweet spot attack", where timing the attack just as a green circle overlaps the Homing Attack reticle will award Sonic with Boost energy for the Boost Gauge.In this game, in addition to granting the player one hundred Rings when picked up, it makes Sonic invincible for a short time. The 100 Count Ring returns from the Wii/ PlayStation 2 version of Sonic Unleashed, replacing the 1-Up in Acts.When using a Tails Save, rather than respawning from the beginning of an Act, starting over from last Star Post touched, or getting a game over, Tails will come in, pick up Sonic and fly him to his last known location. This can be accomplished by obtaining a new type of collectable called Tails Saves that appears in the Acts, and the counter for the amount of Tails Saves the player has replaces the life counter. Tails now has the ability to lift Sonic back into the levels.Likewise, lives and 1-Ups have been replaced by different features. The life system has been entirely removed, meaning that players can start over from where they failed without fearing a game over.Sonic being lifted up by Tails after falling into a bottomless pit. įile:SCU screenshot website JP Tails 01.jpg This Color Power can be obtained in various places and allows Sonic to go through solid objects in order to discover alternate paths that were not in the original game.
