==Gameplay==
Gameplay for The Chronicles of Sonic the Hedgehog: Rise of the Heroes draws elements from the Sonic Adventure series and Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) but also from Sonic Heroes and Shadow the Hedgehog with a much wider range of character movements and attacks, some of which are unique to each one. In addition, it incorporates elements of 3-D fighting-style gameplay. You could imagine it loosley as a Super Smash Bros. game in 3D perspective.
Like in most games in the series, basic gameplay involves collecting rings, defeating enemies etc. Like in all games, the player collects rings in order to gain health. If he's attacked by an enemy, he loses 10 rings. When he is attacked while he has no rings, he instantly dies and loses a life. All levels are in 3D. In addition, players can collect pearls by destroying enemies. These pearls can increase the player's Signature Move Gauge. Each stage has 2 Acts (usually 10:00 minutes long each), a Mission and Boss. When the player reaches the Goal Ring, he completes the stage and is given a rank (A, B, C, D, E) based on his Score.
Each character has 8 ground attacks, 4 aerial attacks, a homming attack (some characters may fly or glide instead, see Controls), a Dash and a Signature Move. Like in Sonic Heroes, each character is categorized as Speed, Power or Fly, each type with its unique abilities. Speed-Type characters can use homming attacks, run faster and perform Spin Dashes and Ring Dashes in order to reach other hidden places in each level. Fly-Type characters can fly for a limited time through rings in order to give them enough boost to fly for a higher amount of time and reach other hidden ares in each level, whearas Power-Type characters are often heavy but can deal great damage to an opponent, often lifting heavy items such as cars, boulders etc to reach hidden places. However, some Power-Type and Speed-Type Characters may also use Homming Attacks or glide or some-sort. This categorization has a great significance in the levels' structure. This means that all levels have special routes in some point each designed for a speed, fly or power type character. For example, playing as Sonic in the Cosmic Crisis level, you can choose to take the speed sections of the stage, which rely mostly on the character's speed. Power sections rely on raw battle etc. Nevertheless, some sections of the stages are common for all types.
The game features a wide variety of gaming modes, each one with its own gameplay style. These modes are Adventure Mode (or Story Mode), Multiplayer Mode, Challenge Mode, Mission Mode, Chao Garden, Gallery, Rankings and Options. (For more information about each one, see it below).
==Controls==
Each playable character has 9 ground attacks, 6 aerial attacks, a Dash Attack and a Signature Move. Speed-Type characters can use Homming Attacks, Light Dash and Triangle Jumps and are usually faster than any other character. Fly-Type characters can fly, glide of float for a limited time period. Some of them can also perform Homming Attacks. Power-Type characters are usually the slowest in the game but their attacks deal much more damage than any other characters. Some of them can float or glide or even perform homming attacks.
===Basic Attacks===
Combo Attack - The character performs multiple attacks in one move which deal little damage. It is the basic attack of all characters. The player can also move while combo attacking.
Advantage Move - Each character performs a single attack which deals bigger damage than Combo Attack.
Chargable Attack - Holding down that button will allow the character to charge up an attack. When released, the character will perform that attack which deals a lot of damage. The player cannot move while performing Chargable attack. However, some characters may have more than 1 Chargable Attack.
Special Attack - If the player presses Chargable Attack while running, he will perform the Special Attack.
===Multi-Attacks===
By pressing the R1, RB or R button while the character performs an attack, the player will have access to another total new moveset of attacks. These attacks are equaly powerful to the other ones. Moreover, some of these attacks may require some charge up before activating them. Combo Attacks, Advantage Moves, Special Attacks and Chargable Attacks have their own identical Multi-Attack attacks.
===Techniques===
Homing Attack - This classic technique is only accessable to some characters. Simply press the jump button twice near an enemy and the character will perfrom a homing attack on him.
Light Dash - Accessable only to Speed-Type characters. When going in front of a line of rings, press the Combo Button to perform a Light Dash, just like in all Sonic games.
Triangle Jump - All characters can perform this action. When there are two narrow walls, the character can jump from wall to wall by pressing the jump button twice.
Flying - Some characters, not only Fly-Type, can ascend into the air. Just tap the Jump Button multiple times and the player will ascend into the air. You can also pass through air boosts in order to fly higher and faster.
Gliding - A few characters can glide. Just hold down the jump button while on the air.
Floating - A character can also float. Works exactly like the gliding technique.
Lifting Objects - Only Power-Type characters (and Shadow) can lift heavy objects such as cars, platforms etc and even throw them on nearby enemies.
Climbing - Some characters can climb walls. Just go near a wall and the character will start climbing.
===Signature Move===

However, each player has a Life Gauge beneath him. The player who will decrease his opponent's Life Gauge to 0 first, wins. The controls and the gameplay are the same.

When he/she defeats all opponents in the game, the player receives multiple prizes such as rings, playable characters, levels and available items for the Chao Garden.
