How to Play

This page serves as an unofficial guide (currently W.I.P.) to playing the game and being sure on what to do.

Setting Up
Once you originally download the game, you're prompt with entering your current age number (1-99). Once done, you do not have to re-enter your age. You're also asked to agree to allow the app to track your data as well. Once completed, you will begin to start playing the game.

Movement
Sonic Forces: Speed Battle consists of four main movement options: sliding, jumping, and moving either left or right. Unless frozen, players are capable of moving to any lane with these options at any point of the stage. It is moreso up to the player to be able to transverse the current stage and outperform their opponents in order to get first place.

Players automatically run forward at all times (the top speed varying by the character stats, current ring count, and player level), making it impossible for the player to manually stop, or go back to previous parts of the stage. It is possible for the player to temporarily slow down through certain actions such as bumping into obstacles, but it'll inflict self-damage and thus not usually worth doing.

Upgrading
Every time you upgrade a runner, their items will get upgraded as well as increasing their starting rings number. This serves as a way to strengthening your runner both by themselves and universally thanks to the Player Level system.

Generally, it should be ideal to priortize upgrading the lower rarity characters before the higher rarity characters as their low cost for upgrades usually tend to help increasing the player level more faster, which will universally strengthed all of your currently unlocked runners.
