Sonic Dash 2: Sonic Boom is an endless runner platform video game published by Sega, exclusively for mobile devices, and is the sequel to Sonic Dash.[2] Unlike its predecessor, the cast and levels of Sonic Dash 2: Sonic Boom are derived from Sonic Boom television series, though the gameplay elements remain. The game was given a soft launch on Google Play on 1 July 2015 for the Android.
Gameplay
Sonic Dash 2: Sonic Boom uses many of the same gameplay elements from Sonic Dash. The game is an endless runner, where the player directs the playable characters through never-ending 3D levels, collecting rings and avoiding obstacles and enemies. The playable character automatically moves forward at all times, so the player has to utilize the characters' skills and movements to avoid or overcome obstacles. The goal is simply to run as far as possible without hitting a wall, falling off the course, or taking a hit with no Rings in possession.
Like its predecessors, Rings can be collected throughout the levels or purchased via microtransactions, and accumulated Rings can be used to purchase further content in the game, such as items and upgrades. Throughout the levels Red Star Rings can be found, however players can purchase them as well. They are used to buy new characters to play as well.
Sonic Dash 2: Sonic Boom features both enemies and levels/environments taken directly from the Sonic Boom television series. As new features, the game introduces Team Play mode where the player to race with up to three characters and earn higher scores, the Enerbeam mechanic where tilting the device will swing the runner along Ener-Rails, and special unlockable powers for the characters such as Amy's Hammer, Knuckles' Jump Up & Slam attack, Sonic's enhanced Dash and more. The game also includes magical beings called "Sprites" which the player can collect and evolve to improve their run, similar to the Chao in Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood.[2]
Daily Challenges
The player can participate in new Events and Daily SEGA Challenges to earn special prices.[2]

Some are one-time use, or consumable. Others are permanent. Permanent sprites can be leveled up and evolved. Leveling up costs an increasing amount of rings. At levels 5 and 10, an evolution can be done. The first evolution needs to use up 2 permanent sprites and one consumable sprite. The second one demands 2 level 6 sprites and one consumable. The maximum level for a sprite is 15.
