Sonic Adventure 4: Black Arms Rising/Gameplay

This page focuses on the gameplay of all the playable characters of Sonic Adventure 4: Black Arms Rising.
== Overview ==
As expected, the gameplay is basically just like the previous Adventure titles with the free-roaming of various adventure fields, reaching the goal ring in stages, and different gameplay styles of the characters. Like Shadow the Hedgehog, there will still be missions involving eliminating a number of enemies and activating or destroying various things like security systems.
Players will have the option of selecting up to 1 to 4 characters to play in stages or adventure fields, giving it an RPG feel to it. Players can be allowed to switch any of the 4 characters to utilize various abilities to advance through the stage.
