Sonic Speed Simulator

== Overview ==
Sonic Speed Simulator is a fan made game on Roblox that is in partnership with SEGA of America. It is a simulator where you can play as various characters and run fast in an open world like area.

Though you can play the game for free, some thing are only available through purchase. Some things are easier and faster to get by paying as well.
Recently, they have updated their whole server by redoing everything in it. Some characters are not available to get for free anymore and all of the old maps have been erased. In their place, several new maps that are completely different have been added. New missions, quests and events have been added as well.

This update made them change the name of their game to Sonic Speed Simulator Reborn for a short while.
== Sonadow Moments ==
To unlock Sonic in the updated version of Sonic Speed Simulator called Sonic Speed Simulator Reborn, one simply has to follow the storyline in Green Hills by completing all the quests given by Sonic. Once you've completed all the quests for that world, you can obtain Sonic the Hedgehog.
On February 25, 2023, Sonic Speed Simulator made an update where you can unlock a Sonic with his iconic Soap Shoes from Sonic Adventure 2. The update was announced on their official Twitter account along with other updates made to the game. The skin in the game is called Grind Shoe Sonic. To get this skin for free, you would have to complete specific quests called Adventures 10 times. If you wish to get it sooner without work, you would have to pay money to get it. The skin is still available to get at this moment.
On March 11, 2023, Sonic Speed Simulator Reborn made an update that added Shadow the Hedgehog to the game. The official Sonic Speed Simulator Twitter account also made an announcement post of his arrival a day before his release. In the post it says, "Nothing can stop the Ultimate Lifeform." They have also changed their Twitter icon to Shadow and their name to Shadow Speed Simulator for this event.
In the update, before you play the game, the icon to play the game is of Sonic and Shadow. Half of the icon shows the right side of Sonic's head, while the other half shows Shadow's left side of his head. When you boot up the game, Shadow is shown on the title screen instead of Sonic or Eggman. To unlock Shadow, you need to complete four tasks. These tasks are unlocking the skins of both Orange Android Shadow and Hologram Metal Sonic, destroying force field generators in the Lost Valley world and destroying badniks in Lost Valley as well. If the player wishes to, you can do these tasks and free Shadow as Sonic. Once you have completed all tasks, you will be told to go to the Arsenal Pyramid to free Shadow. When you get there, a small cutscene will be shown of Shadow breaking out of his prison. He then tells the player, "Felt like I would've been stuck in there forever, but then you showed up. We must figure out how we can defeat Eggman." Afterwards, you can then play as Shadow by choosing him in your character inventory.
During the event, Shadow and Sonic Chao were available for purchase. The only way to get these Chao is through buying them with real life currency.
On March 18, 2022, Sonic Speed Simulator added a new Shadow skin called Flame Shadow to their game. This event was called "Shadow's Revenge." In this event, Shadow is mad at Eggman for imprisoning him. In response, he goes to defeat Eggman and his Badniks. This skin is of Shadow in clothes with flames on it and yellow shades (sunglasses) resting on his forehead. During the event, in order to get Flame Shadow you needed to deal 40,000,000 damage to Eggman in Boss Battle and defeat 350 Super Badniks that are scattered around the world map. The icon used for this event has both Sonic and Shadow on it while facing each other. Shadow is dressed in his Flame Shadow clothes in this icon.
In March along side Omega's event, Riders Shadow became available to get through a gatcha wheel. The probability to get him is 2.59%. In an update, if you complete Adventure type quests, you can get a chance to get another spin to try to get Riders Shadow. The wheel's free spin resets every four hours. This wheel lasted until April 29, 2023. A Riders Sonic was also available through the code "RIDERS," but that code has expired. The only way to get Riders Sonic now is through buying him with real money when he appears in the in-game store.
On April 4, 2023, Sonic Speed Simulator made an update for their one year anniversary. For both the icon and cover image used to celebrate the occasion, a Sonic wearing his king birthday attire with Shadow next to him was used. The cover image can still be seen today when players go to play the game.
In Sonic Speed Simulator, you can get a Gold Style Sonic outfit by completing a quest where you have to collect 40 red rings from doing the auto run function in the game.
On May 5, 2023, Sonic Speed Simulator added the Gold Style Shadow outfit. To get this outfit, you have to complete a series of quests where you have to collect gold bars in the open world and gold medals from time trials. During the update, the Gold Style Shadow was being sold in a bundle with the Gold Style Sonic and Golden Metal Sonic 3.0 outfits. For the game's icon during the event, it has Gold Style Sonic running next to Gold Style Shadow. Sonic and Shadow are the only ones who have the same Gold Style outfits and look similar to each other with those outfits.
On May 25, 2023, Sonic Speed Simulator put a countdown to the event with Sonic and Shadow in racer outfits that are from Sonic Adventure 2's DLC pack. For their idle animation, they will go into their poses from the Sonic Adventure 2 game cover.
The event for these two outfits started on May 27, 2023. To announce it's release, Sonic Speed Simulator made a post showing off the new racing function with Sonic running down a recreation of the City Escape stage from Sonic Adventure 2. During this event, the picture used to advertise the event is of Sonic and Shadow next to each other racing towards the viewer. Sonic is looking towards Shadow in this image. The icon for the event is also the same but with a slightly different background.
To get these outfits, you need to do the specific City Escape races either alone or with others. Completing races will give you Race Tickets that can be used on the wheel to have a chance to get either Racesuit Sonic or Racesuit Shadow. The chance to get them is 2.3% separately. While this event is going on, there is a section in the game that showcases the outfits. In that display, Racesuit Sonic and Racesuit Shadow are next to each other. Due to their idle motions, Shadow can be seen looking at Sonic during his idle motion sometimes.
During this event, both Sonic and Shadow Chao were on sale. Riders Sonic and Riders Shadow were also on sale and next to each other. A new wheel where you can win outfits for free was also added the same time this even started. The outfits that can be won in this new wheel are Android Shadow Pink and Summer Sonic.
In an update during the Racesuit Sonic and Racesuit Shadow event, the wheel was changed into a shop. Instead of getting the outfits and other prizes by chance, you can now save up Race Tickets to buy the outfits or other prizes of choice. The price for Racesuit Sonic and Racesuit Shadow is 1250 Race Tickets each. Dodon Pa was also added as an NPC. Completing his quests will give the player some Race Tickets. Metal Sonic has also been added to the racing function as a challenger. If you beat him and win the race, you can get double the amount of tickets you were originally going to get.
While the Racesuit Sonic and Racesuit Shadow outfits are still available, a Racesuit Jet event happened. During that event, a new wheel was added. On this wheel, you have a chance to get the Fake Metal Sonic skin or the Android Shadow Pink skin. During Racesuit Jet's event, you can complete his quests to not only get his outfit, but also Race Tickets. With those Race Tickets, you can buy Racesuit Sonic and Racesuit Shadow who were still in the shop at the time. Also, during this event, Sonic and Shadow Chao were still on sale.
On August 5th, Red Android Shadow was made available to get by completing a quest in Sonic Speed Simulator. If you complete the quest, you can get both the Red Android Shadow skin and a shoulder toy Summer Sonic. The icon used for the event has both Sonic and Shadow on it and looks similar to the Racesuit Sonic and Shadow event icon.
On August 26th, 2023, Cheetah Shadow was added to Sonic Speed Simulator. Previously in the month during Red Android Shadow's event, Zebra Sonic was also available for a limited time. To get both outfits, you had to do a series of several quests before being able to obtain either outfit. During Cheetah Shadow's event, you can buy both Zebra Sonic and Cheetah Shadow as a bundle called "Animal Bundle." This Cheetah Shadow outfit was made to be a pair outfit with Zebra Sonic. Also during the event, a wheel is available where it has Pink Android Shadow and Riders Sonic.
On October 27, 2023, Vampire Shadow was added to Sonic Speed Simulator. A post announcing this was posted on their official Twitter account. During the Halloween event, you can do certain quests to get Vampire Shadow. Vampire Sonic also exists in the game, but was not made available again during this Halloween event. He was only available through purchase of real money. To get Vampire Sonic, you would either have to pay for him to have gotten him during last years Halloween event. Also, during this Halloween event, Vampire Shadow Chao was added to the game and was made available for purchase in their Halloween themed store (that uses real money). Also on sale with Vampire Shadow Chao at the time was Vampire Sonic Chao.
On November 17, 2023, Sonic Speed Simulator had an event that brought back the Zebra Sonic and Cheetah Shadow outfits. In this event, you can do a series of quests to get both Cheeta Shadow and Zebra Sonic at the same time. When you log into the game, a display with both Zebra Sonic and Cheetah Shadow next to each other is displayed. The icon used to look at the quests is an image of both Zebra Sonic and Cheetah Shadow together.
During the winter of 2023, Winter Shadow was added to Sonic Speed Simulator. To get him you have to get 1500 race tickets. Winter Sonic was available in the past before the game got updated.
In a bundle sale that uses real currency, many characters were bunched together as a set. Among the set is the Gold Style Sonic and Shadow. When showing the bundle as either an icon or as 3D models in the store, both Sonic and Shadow were in the front next to each other.
On March 9, 2024, the Sonic Speed Simulator announced on their X account the release of Royal King Shadow as a limited time event. After doing four quests, you can get the Royal King Shadow. This outfit can match with Sonic's King outfit made for his birthday. During the event, there were many Shadow skins for sale along with some bundles. One of the bundles was a Riders Shadow Bundle. Those included in the bundle were Riders Shadow, Riders Sonic and Riders Knuckles. Also on sale during the time was Shadow Chao, two robot/android version of Shadow Chao and Sonic Chao.
On April 14, 2024, Clockwork Shadow was added to Sonic Speed Simulator. For the post advertising Clockwork Shadow on X, an image of Steampunk Sonic and Clockwork Shadow was used. During the event, the icon used for the game had both Steampunk Sonic and Clockwork Shadow on it. A banner image that is the same as shown on X, was also made for the event and could be seen when looking on the Sonic Speed Simulator Roblox page. There is also a sale at the same time where Gold Style Sonic and Shadow were both on sale as a part of a bundle.
=== Chao ===
In Sonic Speed Simulator, you can get several different Chao of all kinds of varieties. Among those varieties, you can get Sonic and Shadow themed ones. These Chao that are based off of Sonic and Shadow come back in the stores every now and then. There are two versions of Chao that have a Sonic and Shadow counterpart. That would be the regular Sonic and Shadow Chao and the Vampire versions of the Sonic and Shadow Chao.
When the Chao come back into the stores to buy with real life currency, there are times they are sold at the same time.
=== "Fast Friends" Toy Robots ===
On November 9, 2023, Sonic Speed Simulator announced a new system called "Fast Friends" that introduce Toy Robot versions of Sonic, Shadow and Knuckles into the game. In the game, you can get these Toy Robots by a vending machine that uses Red Star Rings. Once you get enough, you can fuse them together to upgrade the Toy Robot of choice. These Toy Robot act the same as friends you can equip like Chao, Animal Friends and Kocos. When you equip them and run with them, they run along with you. If you stay in place, they do an idle motion. The Toy Robots start at a 1 star rarity and can be upgraded up to 5 stars. As you upgrade them, they change color and shape.
The way they change shape and color goes as so:
*1 star | Looks like the character it takes after
*1 star → 2 star | Fur changes to a silver coating; a silver sparkling trail follows them
*2 star → 3 star | A silver glow is added; they increase in size
* 3 star → 4 star | Fur changes to a gold coating; aura changes to purple and yellow; sparkles radiate off of it
*4 star → 5 star | Aura changes to gold and orange; grows in size

During the event that introduces this new function, a new outfit for Tails was introduced. In the display that shows this outfit of Tails is a table that has the Toy Robots on them. On one of the tables it has the Sonic and Shadow Toy Robot versions with a stack of Red Star Rings.
The Icon used for this event is of Sonic looking at a Toy Robot version of himself and Shadow. Both are looking back at Sonic with a happy expression.
For the Holidays in 2023, Holiday themed Toy Robots were available for a limited time at the Christmas Store where you trade candy canes for several rewards. Among those rewards there was a Holiday Sonic and Shadow Toy Robot. Both share a similar outfit where they both wear a Santa hat and top. Shadow's top is slightly different where he has no sleeves compared to Sonic. A Super Sonic Toy Robot was also available at the store. All Toy Robots can be upgraded the same as the regular Toy Robots.
Since an update, Fast Friends vending machines appear in certain worlds. Sonic's Fast Friend is in the first world while Shadow's is in the second. You can try to get Sonic's for 10 Red Star Rings and to get Shadow's you need to use 20 Red Star Rings.
