Oh yeah, I need to talk about energy orbs. Let me just say that you should do yourself a favor and find these sections! This is a good 5 second break from the main running sections, and they are filled with loads of rings and energy orbs that will boost your score! This is an excellent addition to the game. They are found by jumping on bounce pads (At least the characters don't shout "Bounce pad" every time they spot one!).

Also new to the table we have some short zip line and rail grinding sections. Also, thankfully the characters are not annoying to where you want to cut your ears off. It's a great addition to the game that should have been in the original. They can range from hitting enemies for rings or becoming a ring magnet. Except for Knuckles! Oh my gosh! What have they done to him? Anyways, each character brings different abilities to the table when dashing. To be honest, I kind of like some of these character redesigns as it gives them different characteristics.

As of right now, you can play with three of the five characters: Sonic, Miles "Tails" Prower, Knuckles, Amy Rose, or Sticks. You just tap on the character you want to play as. Yes, that's right you are no longer restricted to one character per play. New to the game is the ability to switch characters in the middle of environment changes. It's a small difference, but you'll get used to it almost instantly. The only difference I could find with the controls was how to activate the dash ability.

You swipe the screen to move, jump, and spin dash. The gameplay is very similar to the original game.

I might tick off a lot of people by saying this, but "Sonic Dash 2: Sonic Boom" is actually a decent game that is way better than the main Wii U game by a mile! Was I skeptical about how the game would be? Yes, I was very skeptical, but after reading other reviews on the Apple App Store and played the game some, I can put some of my eases to rest. I might tick off a lot of people by saying this, but "Sonic Dash 2: Sonic Boom" is actually a Okay, what I am about to say is 100% honest. Okay, what I am about to say is 100% honest.
