Gun Drive (ガンドライブ Gan Doraibu?) is a move used by Sonic the Hedgehog that, when activated, causes Sonic to throw a special gem, and then fly to its landing point. It has only appeared in Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) as one of Sonic's Custom Actions. It can only be used after Sonic obtains the Sky Gem.

Description[]

In order to use the Gun Drive, Sonic has to possess the Sky Gem Level Up Item. Once obtained, the player has to select the Sky Gem with the directional pad and activate it by pressing Xbox-Button-RT/R1.

When using this move, Sonic pulls out a cyan gem (similar in appearance to a Sol Emerald) and throws it a fair distance. Once this gem lands on the ground or any surface, Sonic will immediately be launched towards the gem's location at great speed, before landing safely on the location. The player can throw the gem longer distances by holding down Xbox-Button-RT/R1 to "charge up" the throw and can aim with the left Control Stick.

However, the Gun Drive has its limits. If the gem is thrown too far, Sonic will be unable to follow it or the reaction time will be delayed. Also, if Sonic runs into an obstacle he cannot pass through while flying through the air, the move will fail and he will fall to the ground.

As the development and publication of Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) was rushed, the Gun Drive's use causes a handful of gameplay glitches; the most common of these involve the player launching Sonic beyond the stage/hub-world's boundaries where he will inevitably lose a life.
