Sonic and the Secret Rings is a Sonic platforming game, that is exclusive to the Wii. Instead of having a free roaming environment, Sonic and the Secret Rings is on-rails, that is, you follow a set path. This makes it more like the traditional 2D version of the series, and eliminates the slow emerald finding levels in Sonic Adventure 1 and 2.

Themes

  • Arabian Nights: A sandy oasis and the main theme in the game.
  • Dinosaour Island: An area that takes place in the past.
  • Evil Foundry:
  • LevitatedRuin:
  • Pirate Storm: An area that takes place near a stormy ocean full of pirates.

Moves

Two new moves allows Sonic to speed time up, and to slow time down. He is also able to do many of the attacks that he was able to do in previous Sonic entries, such as run very fast, the spin attack, and others.

Customizable skills

In January of 2007, SEGA revealed that Sonic would have around 100 skills. These skills will do multiple things, such as how Sonic handles, to special abilities, and so on.

Mini-games
