The Moving Crate[1] is an obstacle that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is an electronic block which can push the player into bottomless pits.

Description[]

The Moving Crates are large moving blocks embedded in walls. They possess an artificial intelligence that compels them to exile anyone they see and a very sensitive sensor which detects those in front of them.

In gameplay, the Moving Crate is a very dangerous obstacle. Always located in enclosed 2.5D sections, they will move out from the walls behind Sonic and push him forward. While they sometimes move Sonic along the path or act as crushers, they can also push him towards the screen which will make Sonic fall off the path and into a bottomless pit. Because they are too tall to be jumped over and are found in enclosed spaces, the Moving Crates are almost impossible to avoid once they start moving.

Game appearances[]

Sonic Unleashed[]

In the Xbox 360/PlayStation 3 version of Sonic Unleashed, the Moving Crates have faces resembling that of Dr. Eggman. They are only encountered in Eggmanland. In gameplay, when they sense Sonic in front of them, they will smile and glow purple before starting to move.

Sonic Colors[]
