Sonic Zero

Sonic Zero is a 2.5D side-scrolling action/adventure platformer game in the Sonic the Hedgehog series developed by Sonic Team and Dimps, and published by Sega for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Wii U, and New Nintendo 3DS.
==Plot==
After Eggman creates a devastating virus made to allow him to take over all technology on Mobius, his plan goes terribly wrong as this creation gets out of control, creating it's own virtual reality and infecting his entire system. This virus goes by the name Kronos, and threatens to infect every single piece of hardware and technology on Mobius, and soon take over. Desperate, Dr. Eggman requests Sonic's help to enter the computer and stop the virus before it becomes too strong. Without an alternative, Sonic agrees to help Eggman this one time, putting a mind transfer helmet on and being sent into this virtual reality.
==Gameplay==
Sonic Zero is a side-scrolling action platformer styled game, similar to many classic Nintendo DS Sonic games, as well as Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal. Like traditional Sonic games, the player controls Sonic quickly through each level of the game, collecting rings, picking up items, and defeating enemies. In this game, the rings act as a form of health. When you are hit, you loose all of your rings, but can collect them again if you act quick enough. However, the more you get hit, the farther Sonic's rings scatter, and the quicker they disappear. If you are hit and have no rings, you loose a life.
Sonic also has a boost gauge which is displayed on the right side of the screen, which can be filled through destroying enemies and performing tricks on ramps and springs. Once the gauge is at least half way full, you are able to use the Sonic Boost, which gives Sonic a burst of speed and makes him almost invincible. If Sonic boosts into an enemy, he still can still gain gauge energy from them, meaning that the player can make the Sonic Boost last for a while if they use it right.
Many of Sonic's past techniques have returned too, such as the wall jump, homing attack, stomp, and spin dash. You are able to wall jump by simple walking up to a wall and jumping against it. Sonic will automatically lock onto the wall and start slowly sliding down. From that point, you just jump to the wall across from you, and Sonic will lock onto that one as well. Sonic's homing attack can be used on enemies, and you can even chain together a homing attack if lots of enemies are around, gaining more gauge energy in the process. The Stomp is used to break through boxes or hit large buttons on the ground, but isn't used as an attack. Finally, Sonic's spin dash can also be used to take out enemies and gain speed, but does not make him invincible, because running into spikes or an enemy with spikes on their body will still cause Sonic to loose his rings. The only time the spin dash is necessary is when Sonic has no boost and is stuck at a loop with no speed.
Like Sonic Lost World, each stage has a timer that goes down instead of up. The amount of time you have can vary depending on what stage you're on. If a stage is very short, you may have up to 100 seconds. If a stage is long, you could have up to 500 seconds. If the time runs out before you reach the goal, you will lose a life automatically. If you ran past a star post, you will respawn with the max amount of time in order to ensure that you do not become stuck in a level by not having enough time on the clock.
