Teen Sonic comes with an exclusive Tool Skill called Ring Portal. When engaged, this ability allows Sonic to boost his running speed and gain invulnerability against most obstacles and opponent attacks. However, there is a down-side: players who activate Ring Portal cannot pick up boxes or destroy enemies.

Baby Sonic comes with two exclusive abilities — EMP Boost and the passive skill to run under obstacles without needing to slide/roll/crouch. When gamers fire up Baby Sonic’s EMP Boost, it will give him a speed boost and drop an area of effect attack that will zap opponents in the adjacent lanes.

Baby Sonic was an instant smash hit among fans as soon as he was teased in the Sonic movie’s final Japanese trailer. The tiny tot was also released as a playable character for Sonic Dash last week.

Both Sonic Forces: Speed Battle and Sonic Dash are available on Android and iOS mobile devices. Follow Sega HARDlight’s Twitter and Facebook for more updates on these games.
