The Tube[1] is a gimmick that appears in the Sonic Boom series. It is a type of pipe that can send the playable character to another location.

Description[]

Basically, the Tubes are big pipes, large enough for any member of Team Sonic to fit inside them, which hang from either the walls or roof. They are usually metal pipes with gold-plated cylinders signaling their entrance point. Regardless, their design and coloration depends on the level; in Lyric's Tomb they are grey with golden mouths and openings; in Ocean Purification Plant they are like glass pipe with green liquid flowing through them; and in Lyric's Lair they are completely black with red outlines.

Overview[]

In Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric, Tubes can be found Lyric's Tomb, the Abandoned Research Facility, Lyric's Weapon Facility, the Pit, the Ocean Purification Plant, and Lyric's Lair.

In gameplay, when the player enters the mouth of a Tube, the playable character will be sucked in and move through it at high speed, before being deposited in a different area, making the Tubes a form of shortcut. In most cases, the Tubes allow the player to enter areas they cannot otherwise reach. However, they may also serve as shortcuts back to an earlier point in the level so the player does not have to backtrack when solving a far-away puzzle.

In most cases, the Tubes are ready for use when found. However, some Tube require the player to solve a puzzle with the Enerbeam before they become operational. Others can only be reached with a Bounce Pad, or a jump at maximum height.
