The wick[1] is a gimmick that appears in the Sonic Boom series. It is a demolition tool used to open paths.
Description[]
The wick consists of a burner that looks like an orange pad with a fire icon above a dark yellow fuse opening attached to ceilings and walls, and a brown gunpowder barrel with a skull and crossbones symbol on it and feet holding it in place. These objects are connected by an orange burning fuse inside the walls.
Overview[]
In Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice, the wicks appear in every adventure level of Cutthroat Cove, where their gunpowder barrels block passages while their burners are set in entirely different locations (they can be tracked by following their fuses). These burners can be targeted with the Homing Attack. If the player touches the burners while Fire Mode is active, it will ignite their fuse. The fire will then swiftly travel their fuse to the gunpowder barrel, upon where it detonate, clearing the path it and other obstacles were blocking.
An example of a Multi-Wick, from Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice.
In some cases, the player will come across a wick with one gunpowder barrel and two burners. This is called a Multi-Wick.[2] These wicks' burners must be lit at the same time to make their gunpowder barrel detonate. To do so, the player must light all the burners before the first one that the player ignited times out, or the wick will go out and the player must start over igniting them.
