Sonic the Hedgehog 5 (Random)

Sonic the Hedgehog is back in his new adventure, Sonic the Hedgehog 5. This 2021 platformer game is developed by Hyperkinetic Studios with assistance from Sonic Team and published by Sega. It is an addition to the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise. The game was released on 23th June 2021 on Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X and S, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and iOS and Android devices.
It is the sequel to Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode II.
==Plot==
Following the ending of Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode II, Sonic the Hedgehog and his rival Mighty the Armadillo are riding the Tornado 2 through the clouds. However, the left wing and the top wing have broke as they flew. Thus made the rival duo land into the newly discovered Genesis Island. Sonic tells Mighty that they need to repair the Tornado 2, taking them into a new adventure.
==Gameplay==
Sonic the Hedgehog 5 does not play similarly to its predecessor. Instead, it features transitions between 3D perspectives and slower 2,5D side-scrolling sections during the stage, as well as a "tag team" mechanic that involves both Sonic and Mighty. The player wields both characters and their movesets to navigate through stages. Both of them can use the standard Spin Jump, Homing Attack, Slide, Quick Step, and Stomp maneuvers, as well as the reworked Air Boost and Boost from Sonic Forces. Sonic and Mighty's signature moves, Drop Dash and Hammer Drop (respectively), come from Sonic Mania. During stages, both of them can utilize the Item Box power-ups.
The Time Over is non-existent like other 3D games, to make sure it is a completely new game in comparison to its predecessor.
==Playable characters==

 	Sonic the Hedgehog 	He's everyone's favorite blue blur. The world's fastest hedgehog - he's here to save the Genesis Island from Doctor Eggman. His Drop Dash lets him spin forward after landing on the ground.
 	Mighty the Armadillo	That's a good idea to add Sonic's armadillo rival to the mix. His travels tave taken him to the Genesis Island as well. His shell can deflect projectiles, and he can slam into the ground to attack.

 	Doctor Eggman	Eggman has began his latest scheme in the Genesis Island, benting on using machines and/or robots to rule the island.
 	Metal Sonic 	He was a foe in the prequel... now he is back to kill Sonic and betray Eggman again. He will make anything to make sure Sonic is out of the way.
==Zones==
Sonic the Hedgehog 5 contains a total of 9 Zones, each split into three Acts. Unlike the predecessor, the game features long levels, more enemies and obstacled filled than usual. At the end of the third Act, the player encounters the Zone's boss. Defeating the boss allows the player to progress onto the next Zone. 
To enter the final Zone, the player must have gathered all the seven Chaos Emeralds and then clear the Egg Warfield Zone. The Zones in their order are:
#Verdant Hill Zone
#Junk Trail Zone
#Mysterious Plant Zone
#Highway Dam Zone
#Mecha Green Hill Zone
#Sceptic Seaway Zone
#Aerial Base Zone
#Egg Warfield Zone
#Final Frontier Zone
===Special Stages===
In addition to normal zones, there are seven individual Special Stages in Sonic the Hedgehog 5. Like in its predecessor, to get into the Special Stage, the player has to have at least fifty Rings in order to make a Giant Ring appear above the Goal Plate.
As the player enters the Special Stage, they (controlling the leading character as of entering the Giant Ring) take on a stage similar to the 3D Special Stages in Sonic Triple Trouble. The character will be piloting the Tornado 2, and their goal is to collect Rings. After the checkpoint, the number of Rings increases by fifty.
