Sonic Chaos

Sonic Chaos is a video game, part of the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise. The developing team Blender Maximum, which is cooperating on the game with SEGA's Sonic Team, first revealed the game on April 9th, 2017, stating that the game would "reinvent the [Sonic] series." As such, the game is a departure from past Sonic titles, featuring an entirely new gameplay system that Sonic Team head Takashi Iizuka commended as the "most polished and innovative formula a 3D Sonic game has ever used."
==Gameplay==
The core gameplay of Sonic Chaos has the player in the role of Sonic the Hedgehog, Miles "Tails" Prower, Knuckles the Echidna, or other characters, all of whom play identically with minor differences. The player, by default, is set in a walking motion that can be used for more precise gameplay, using the left analog stick for movement. The left stick can also be pressed in, setting the player character, at a much quicker pace, in motion until it is pressed in again, only allowing for turns that also use the same stick. Jumps can be performed using the rightmost face button while the classic Spin Dash move requires the lowest face button to be pressed. The Spin Dash sets the player at their top speed and provides as an attack for any foe that the player comes into contact with. While walking or standing, the Spin Dash will require a short charge, but this is not necessary while running. The leftmost face button can also attack while in walking mode, but instead quickly changes your direction in running mode. The top face button will give the player a little "push," speeding him or her up slightly in either mode of movement. Player characters can also perform any of these actions on walls or ceilings as well, though jumping may prove inefficient at lower speeds. With the exception of the up button on the D-Pad, the remaining controls are used for the camera, which is primarily controlled by using the right analog stick though the other buttons only allow for different perspectives.
As for the classic health system, rings can be collected throughout the game's stages that serve as the character's health. Characters will lose a certain amount of rings when struck by an enemy depending on both the character's defense and the enemy's power, but they can be recollected. If the player gets hurt while holding zero rings, they will be sent back to the last checkpoint. Unlike past Sonic games, enemies can also steal the player's rings to gain more health if he or she drops any. However, most enemies half a health bar instead of relying on the ring system that playable characters use, but this does not apply to all of them. The game also provides a new "Chaos" power-up system. The D-Pad's up button will allow for a quick menu of the character's collected Chaos Emeralds to show up, all of which have a unique function that can be applied to the player. Two Chaos Emeralds can be used at once and each combination has a unique effect, but all of them also have a disadvantage.
==Level Design==
Early in Sonic Chaos' development, SEGA announced that the next Sonic game would not include any springboards, objects that had, in past games, launched Sonic upwards to reach new areas. Later, when the game was officially revealed, Blender Maximum provided a statement implying that the game's areas would prove to be more open and less linear compared to the game's predecessors, a decision which was made to "better work with Sonic's speed." They also mentioned that this entailed the removal of scripted "in-level" scenes. Additionally, despite being the first game to use the new formula, Aaron Webber, who helps with the series' social media accounts, stated in an interview that the developers focused on making the game as polished and expansive as possible while also working towards having the game curve in difficulty more so than many games. He later went on to explain that "expansive" referred to the "massive amount" of stages in the game, both those entirely optional and those required to complete the game.

==Characters==
Character 	Description
Sonic the Hedgehog 	Sonic is one of the speediest living things out there. He's so fast that he's able to avoid capture from Eggman's endless troops of roboticized critters, and he'll challenge any foes to a battle that he's sure to win. Sonic's even got a sweet Insta-Shield in the air, allowing him to destroy nearly anything around him, and he runs the fastest of all his friends.
Miles "Tails" Prower	This intelligent two-tailed fox has known Sonic for ages, flying alongside him for many of his adventures. Tails actually takes to the skies to roam the world, and he can even dive at enemies in the air with an extra boost of speed to attack! Of course, that's not all... he can also dash into the air if he looks up while Spin Dashing! Tails may not be as fast as Sonic, but he's certainly still got style.
Knuckles the Echidna	TBA
Shadow the Hedgehog 	TBA
Cream the Rabbit 	TBA
Vector the Crocodile	TBA
