<p><em style="font-weight: bold;">Sonic Speed Simulator</em>, also known in-game for a period as <strong><em>Sonic Speed Simulator Reborn</em></strong>, is a multiplayer online [[incremental game|incremental]] [[platform game]] in the [[Sonic the Hedgehog series|<em>Sonic the Hedgehog</em> series]] developed and published by [[Wikipedia:Gamefam|Gamefam]] under license from [[Sega]] and in association with [[Sega of America]].[ref name="Digital Trends"][cite_web last="Alexander" first="Christina" title="Sonic the Hedgehog's next video game is in Roblox" url="https://www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/sonic-the-hedgehog-roblox-game/" publisher="[[Digital Trends]]" date="April 13, 2022" access-date="May 22, 2023" archive-date="May 22, 2023" archive-url="https://web.archive.org/web/20230522224735/https://www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/sonic-the-hedgehog-roblox-game/"][/ref] It is available as a free experience on [[Wikipedia:Roblox|Roblox]], where it serves as an official <em>Sonic</em> game for the platform. The game was first made available in beta before its public free-to-play release on 16 April 2022.[ref name="SSSannounce2"][cite_web url="https://twitter.com/gamefamstudios/status/1514650590764273665" title="Gamefam Studios on Twitter" work="Twitter" date="14 April 2022" accessdate="15 April 2022" quote="<strong>Gamefam Studios</strong>: ARE YOU READY? - Sonic Speed Simulator will be officially releasing for FREE on Saturday, April 16th, 2022 at 10am EST! #SonicRoblox"][/ref]</p>

<p>The game centers on exploring open 3D worlds inspired by locations from the <em>Sonic</em> series, collecting [[Chaos Orb]]s and [[Ring]]s, completing quests, unlocking characters, and increasing the player's speed and jumping power. Players can use abilities such as the [[Spin Jump]], [[Spin Dash]], [[Homing Attack]], [[Drop Dash]], and [[Boost]], while also collecting and upgrading [[Chao]], [[Trail]]s, and other rewards. Playable characters include [[Sonic the Hedgehog]], [[Miles "Tails" Prower]], [[Knuckles the Echidna]], [[Amy Rose]], [[Shadow the Hedgehog]], [[Silver the Hedgehog]], [[Blaze the Cat]], and many other characters and variants from across the franchise.</p>

<p>On 10 February 2023, <em>Sonic Speed Simulator</em> received a major overhaul that temporarily renamed the game <strong><em>Sonic Speed Simulator Reborn</em></strong>. This update wiped all player progress and significantly reworked core systems including map design, rebirth progression, pets, quests, and other gameplay features. The <em>Reborn</em> name was later removed from the game itself, though it has continued to be used in some official Sonic livestream contexts.</p>

<p><em>Sonic Speed Simulator</em> became a major success on Roblox. It reached 70 million plays and 275,000 concurrent players during its first week, making it Roblox's largest launch at the time, and later reached 500 million visits within its first four months.[cite_web last1="Takahashi" first1="Dean" title="Gamefam sees rapid growth in making games for Roblox" url="https://venturebeat.com/games/gamefam-sees-rapid-growth-in-making-games-for-roblox/" website="[[VentureBeat]]" date="5 December 2022" access-date="31 May 2023" archive-date="May 31, 2023" archive-url="https://web.archive.org/web/20230531215828/https://venturebeat.com/games/gamefam-sees-rapid-growth-in-making-games-for-roblox/" url-status="dead"] In August 2024, it became the first branded game on Roblox to reach one billion visits.[cite_web last1="Takahashi" first1="Dean" title="How Gamefam built the 1st branded Roblox game to cross 1B visits — Sonic Speed Simulator" url="https://venturebeat.com/games/how-gamefam-built-the-1st-branded-roblox-game-to-cross-1B-visits-sonic-speed-simulator/" website="[[VentureBeat]]" access-date="October 6, 2024" date="September 23, 2024" archive-date="October 6, 2024" archive-url="https://web.archive.org/web/20241006201047/https://venturebeat.com/games/how-gamefam-built-the-1st-branded-roblox-game-to-cross-1b-visits-sonic-speed-simulator/" url-status="dead"]</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Gameplay</h2>

<p><em>Sonic Speed Simulator</em> is a 3D, third-person [[Wikipedia:Incremental game|incremental]] platformer built around high-speed movement, character progression, and exploration across open worlds based on locations from the [[Sonic the Hedgehog series|<em>Sonic the Hedgehog</em> series]]. Players travel through large zones, collect [[Chaos Orb]]s and [[Ring]]s, complete quests and events, unlock playable characters, and gradually increase their speed and jumping power. </p>

<p>The player originally begins as their Roblox avatar, though [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] is also treated as the starting character in later versions. Additional characters from the <em>Sonic</em> series can be unlocked through quests, events, codes, Golden Eggs, the Fast Pass, shops, and other limited or persistent reward systems. Playable characters include [[Miles "Tails" Prower]], [[Knuckles the Echidna]], [[Amy Rose]], [[Shadow the Hedgehog]], [[Silver the Hedgehog]], [[Blaze the Cat]], and many other characters and variants from across the franchise. </p>

<p>

Most playable characters share the same core movement set, including the [[Spin Jump]], [[Spin Attack|Spin Dash]], [[Spin Dash|Spin Dash Charge]], [[Jump Dash]], [[Homing Attack]], [[Drop Dash]], and [[Boost]]. Certain characters and variants have unique or altered abilities, such as [[Chaos Snap]], [[Chaos Blast]], gliding, flight, parrying, or free flight. Some characters also replace standard actions with character-specific equivalents, such as [[Blaze the Cat]] using movements based on the [[Axel Jump]] and [[Spinning Claw]] instead of the traditional Spin Jump and Spin Dash.

</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Progression</h3>

<p>

The main progression system is based on collecting [[Chaos Orb]]s, which appear throughout each world and award [[Experience Point|experience points]]. Chaos Orbs come in multiple colors and increase the player's level when collected. Experience can also be earned by completing [[Quest]]s, entering [[Sky Ring]]s, clearing [[Time Trial (Sonic Speed Simulator)|Time Trials]], and participating in other game activities.

</p>

<p>

Leveling up increases the player's primary movement stats, mainly Speed and Power. Speed determines the player's maximum running speed and affects how easily the player can run through loops, travel across walls, launch from terrain, and gain momentum from the Spin Dash. Power determines how high the player can jump, helping them reach Sky Rings, upper areas, and elevated paths. Both stats can be manually lowered in the settings, allowing players to adjust the strength of their movement without reverting to an earlier level.

</p>

<p>Earlier versions of the game used a level cap system tied to rebirths. Before <em>Reborn</em>, the player could reach a maximum level, then [[Rebirth]] to reset their level and return to [[Green Hill (Sonic Speed Simulator)|Green Hill]] while gaining permanent bonuses such as increased experience multipliers and ring rewards. After the <em>Reborn</em> overhaul, the fixed level cap was removed. Players can rebirth after reaching level 100, resetting their level and lowering their speed in exchange for [[Skill Piece]]s. Skill Pieces are used to purchase permanent upgrades, including multipliers for Rings and experience and increased damage against bosses. The number of Skill Pieces required for an upgrade increases each time that upgrade is purchased. </p>

<p>

[[Ring]]s serve as the main currency. They are found throughout worlds and can be earned through quests and other objectives. Rings are used to open Chao Vending Machines, unlock portals to new areas, and upgrade Chao and Trails. [[Red Star Ring]]s are also used in several upgrade and shop systems.

</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Chao and Trails</h3>

<p>

[[Chao]] function as equippable companions that improve the player's rewards or provide additional bonuses. Players can obtain Chao from vending machines, events, quests, shops, and other reward systems. Chao have different rarities, including Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, Legendary, Exotic, and Special. Their effects can increase the amount of XP and Rings earned from pickups, while some provide additional traits such as magnetism, luck, stamina, event bonuses, or damage boosts.

</p>

<p>

The player can equip up to three Chao by default, while certain purchases can increase the number of available pet slots. Chao share an inventory limit with Trails, though rewards earned from quests can exceed the normal storage cap. Chao can be leveled up at the [[Upgrade Machine]], using Rings, [[Red Star Ring]]s, or both depending on the Chao and its level. Five copies of the same Chao can also be brought to the [[Fusion Machine]] to create an evolved version with stronger bonuses.

</p>

<p>

[[Trail]]s are equipped items that provide similar reward and stat benefits. Like Chao, they can be obtained through vending machines, quests, events, shops, and other activities. Trails can also be upgraded and evolved, increasing their effects. The player can equip one Trail at a time.

</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Worlds and quests</h3>

<p>The game is structured around open worlds inspired by locations from across the <em>Sonic</em> series. These include recurring locations such as [[Green Hill (Sonic Speed Simulator)|Green Hill]], [[Lost Valley (Sonic Speed Simulator)|Lost Valley]], [[Emerald Hill (Sonic Speed Simulator)|Emerald Hill]], [[City Escape (Sonic Speed Simulator)|City Escape]], [[Hill Top (Sonic Speed Simulator)|Hill Top]], [[No Place (Sonic Speed Simulator)|No Place]], [[Cyber Station (Sonic Speed Simulator)|Cyber Station]], [[Metal City Skatepark (Sonic Speed Simulator)|Metal City Skatepark]], [[New Yoke City (Sonic Speed Simulator)|New Yoke City]], [[Space Colony Ark (Sonic Speed Simulator)|Space Colony Ark]], [[Radical Highway (Sonic Speed Simulator)|Radical Highway]], [[Pumpkin Hill (Sonic Speed Simulator)|Pumpkin Hill]], [[Autumn Forest Zone (Sonic Speed Simulator)|Autumn Forest]], [[Metro City (Sonic Speed Simulator)|Metro City]], and [[Cool Edge (Sonic Speed Simulator)|Cool Edge]]. </p>

<p>World progression has changed across the game's life. Earlier versions used obbies, race requirements, or level and rebirth thresholds to unlock new zones. In the post-<em>Reborn</em> structure, worlds are tied to quest progression and Gate Keys. Each world includes quest-giving NPCs that assign objectives related to exploration, collectibles, enemies, Time Trials, and other activities. Completing quests awards rewards such as Rings, XP, Red Star Rings, Chao, Trails, and [[Gate key|Gate Keys]]. Collecting enough Gate Keys unlocks portals to later worlds. </p>

<p>When <em>Sonic Speed Simulator 2.0</em> first introduced the new quest structure, each world had multiple quests from main characters, and some limited or persistent events used the same system. Later, the Quest Overhaul and Golden Eggs wave 2 update reworked this into one Main Quest per world, which helps unlock characters and features such as [[Fast Friend (Sonic Speed Simulator)|Fast Friends]]. </p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Time Trials, races, and boss fights</h3>

<p>

Each world includes [[Time Trial (Sonic Speed Simulator)|Time Trials]], which challenge players to reach a goal as quickly as possible by passing through checkpoints. Completing Time Trials awards medals based on performance, typically bronze, silver, or gold, and can also contribute to quests and other progression systems.

</p>

<p>

Races have appeared in multiple forms. Legacy versions included world-based races such as Green Hill Race, Lost Valley Race, Emerald Hill Race, Snow Valley Race, Hill Top Race, Metal Madness Race, and Metal City Race. Later versions introduced Action Races and Drag Races, including races based on City Escape, Emerald Coast, Green Hill, Metal City, Metal Harbor, Metal Madness, Autumn Forest, Mirage Saloon, New Yoke City, Radical Highway, and other locations. Some races are tied to limited-time collaborations or events.

</p>

<p>

Boss fights were added as part of the game's later structure. In the Emerald Hill boss fight, multiple players work together against [[Doctor Eggman|Dr. Eggman]], dodging attacks and destroying generators protecting his [[Egg Mobile]]. The player's damage output is affected by pets and permanent upgrades. Faster completion grants more spins from the Boss Spin Wheel, which can award rewards such as Chao and temporary boosts. Other boss encounters include [[Neo Metal Sonic]], [[Super Neo Metal Sonic]], [[Infinite]], [[Time Eater]], [[Mecha Sonic Mark II]], and [[Fang the Hunter]].

</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Events and rewards</h3>

<p><em>Sonic Speed Simulator</em> regularly features limited-time and recurring events. These events usually require players to complete specific objectives, collect event items, defeat enemies, clear races, or participate in themed activities to unlock characters, Chao, Trails, mounts, and other rewards. Some rewards can also be purchased with Robux. </p>

<p>One early example was the Scavenger Hunt Event, where [[character card fragment]]s appeared in certain worlds for a limited period. Collecting enough fragments unlocked Sailor Tails as a playable character. Later events expanded the system with story quests, new races, themed worlds, collaboration content, and character variants based on games, comics, animation, Sonic Channel artwork, and other <em>Sonic</em> media. </p>

<p>The game also includes daily and recurring reward systems. Before <em>Reborn</em>, Daily Challenges gave players a set of rotating tasks every 24 hours and awarded items such as boosts, Chao, storage upgrades, hoverboards, and character skins. These challenges were later removed. In the post-<em>Reborn</em> version, Daily Rewards were added as a login-based system that grants rewards every twelve hours without requiring task completion. If a player already owns a one-time reward such as a skin or mount, that reward is skipped. </p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Adventures and Challenges</h3>

<p>

Adventures were repeatable quests unlocked after the player completed a major quest line from one of the main zone quest givers or [[Dodon Pa]]. They refreshed every four hours and assigned a randomized set of objectives. Adventures rewarded XP, Rings, Red Star Rings, boosts, and extra Spin Wheel spins.

</p>

<p>

The original Adventures feature was removed during the main quest update, but a similar system was later reintroduced during the third Fast Pass under the name Challenges. Challenges apply to worlds with Main Quests and are divided into reward groups based on cooldown and world range. They primarily award additional tickets for the [[Fast Pass]].

</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Spin Wheel</h3>

<p>[main title="Spin Wheel"] </p>

<p>

The Spin Wheel is a reward feature that allows the player to spend spins for prizes. It has been used after completing certain activities, such as obbies, races, or boss fights, and has awarded skins, Chao, Trails, boosts, and other rewards. During the Omega Update, the Spin Wheel was used to introduce skins such as Riders Shadow, Shadow Android Pink, and Shadow Android Blue.

</p>

<p>

Players could obtain spins through timed free claims, Adventures, boss rewards, or Robux purchases. Boss fights also use separate reward wheels. The Legendary Spinner was later introduced alongside the Tornado 2 and offers higher-value rewards, though spins are harder and more expensive to obtain.

</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Golden Eggs</h3>

<p>[main title="Golden Egg"] </p>

<p>

Golden Eggs are a recurring, typically monthly reward system introduced in the 2.80 update. The player opens Golden Eggs after walking a required number of steps, receiving a random reward that may include limited-quantity skins. Players can also bypass the step requirement by purchasing eggs directly, with premium eggs offering stronger reward pools. After opening 150 free eggs, the player receives three bonus premium eggs at no cost.

</p>

<p>

In some countries, the Golden Egg system is restricted so that players can only open free eggs, in compliance with Roblox rules and international laws regarding gacha-style mechanics. Bonus eggs remain available in those regions.

</p>

<p>[main title="Fast Pass"] </p>

<p>

The Fast Pass is a recurring, typically monthly reward track introduced in the 2.92 update. Players progress through the pass by completing milestones and collecting event items such as [[Candy (Sonic Speed Simulator)|Candy]] or [[Season Ticket]]s. Rewards are distributed across levels, usually up to Level 30. Many newly added character skins are placed on the free track, while a premium track can be unlocked with Robux for additional rewards.

</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Clubs</h3>

<p>[main title="Club"] </p>

<p>

The [[Club (Sonic Speed Simulator)|Club]] system was introduced in the 2.132 update. It allows players to create or join collaborative groups and contribute to shared progress by collecting [[Chaos Orb]]s. Each player can contribute up to 15,000 Chaos Orbs per day, or 7,500 if a Roblox friend is in the same server. Club progress unlocks up to 40 rewards, including an exclusive VIP Sonic skin. Players also earn [[Club Coin]]s, which can be spent on [[Vibe]]s in the Club shop.

</p>

<p>[main title="Mega Eggs"] </p>

<p>

Mega Eggs, originally known as Mystery Chests, were introduced in the 2.140 update. They allow the player to spend either [[Red Star Ring]]s or Robux to receive a random reward, which can include skins. The Red Star Ring option can only be used once every twelve hours.

</p>

<p>

In some countries, Mega Eggs are hidden and cannot be interacted with, in compliance with Roblox rules and international laws regarding gacha-style mechanics.

</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Codex</h3>

<p>[main title="Characters in Sonic Speed Simulator"] </p>

<p>

The Codex system was added in the 2.157 update as a way to track the player's owned characters. Each character appears in a list with information on how to obtain them, such as through persistent events or trading with other players. Once a skin has been registered in the Codex, it does not need to remain in the player's inventory to stay recorded.

</p>

<p>

The Codex also includes milestone and collection rewards. Reaching certain totals of owned characters, or completing themed character collections, rewards the player with SIM skins. A daily collection refreshes every 24 hours, selecting five characters from a larger pool and tasking the player with registering them. Completing the daily collection grants a sixth random skin as a reward.

</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Shops and purchases</h3>

<p>[main title="Shops in Sonic Speed Simulator"] </p>

<p>

The in-game [[Shop]] allows players to purchase game passes, boosts, characters, mounts, and other items. Game passes can increase rewards such as Rings and XP, add extra pet slots, grant stronger magnet effects, allow multiple eggs to be opened at once, provide double levels or Skill Pieces, or unlock all music in the game. A separate shop in [[Green Hill (Sonic Speed Simulator)|Green Hill]] also offers Sonic-themed accessories and clothing, commonly known as UGC, for the player's Roblox avatar.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Storyline</h2>

<p>The storyline of <em>Sonic Speed Simulator</em> is primarily told through quests, events, and character interactions. Its events follow the player as they assist [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]] and his allies against [[Dr. Eggman]], while also recruiting new characters, investigating strange anomalies, and dealing with threats connected to time, digital dimensions, and the game's later <em>Reborn</em> overhaul.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Rise of Metal Sonic</h3>

<p>Before the early event storyline begins, the player has already teamed up with [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]], [[Miles "Tails" Prower|Tails]], and [[Knuckles the Echidna|Knuckles]], with occasional guidance from [[Omochao (NPC)|Omochao]]. Their first major conflict begins when [[Dr. Eggman]] discovers and uses the power of Pink Crystals, trapping [[Amy Rose|Amy]] and her Chao Friends inside large crystal formations. The player learns that smaller crystals can counteract the effect, allowing them to collect enough energy to free Amy. Once released, Amy joins the player's team while Eggman quickly retreats.</p>

<p>The destruction of the Pink Crystal causes a shockwave that damages the [[Master Emerald]] and scatters Knuckles' stash. The player helps recover Emerald Shards, restore the Master Emerald, and reclaim Knuckles' lost rings and keys.</p>

<p>Eggman's next scheme involves the [[Chemical Plant]], where [[Stealth Suit Sonic|Sonic]] infiltrates the facility to uncover the truth behind the Data Discs. Eggman captures Sonic and drains his power to activate [[Metal Sonic]]. With help from the player's team, Sonic is freed after the Data Discs are recovered, but Eggman still prepares to launch Metal Sonic.</p>

<p>After foiling Eggman's plans, the group holds a Beach Party, with [[Amy Rose|Amy]] asking the player to gather [[Chili dog]]s for the celebration. Metal Sonic awakens during this period and moves to interrupt the party. Eggman uses Chao to power him up, but with instructions from [[Mechanic Tails|Tails]], the team races Metal Sonic and frees the captured Chao. Following Metal Sonic's defeat, Tails reprograms him, allowing him to join the team.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Blast to the Past</h3>

<p>After Metal Sonic's defeat, the group celebrates Sonic's birthday, only for Eggman to return and disrupt the festivities. Once his plans are stopped, [[Classic Sonic]] joins the team.</p>

<p>The story then moves into a firework festival, where the player helps [[Summer Amy|Amy]] launch fireworks. During the same period, Tails misplaces his tools, and the team collects them so he can resume his work. Later, [[Metal Sonic Mach 3.0]] appears and challenges the player and Metal Sonic to a race. After being defeated, he is also reprogrammed by Tails and joins the team.</p>

<p>Eggman then begins an attack on [[Green Hill (Legacy)|Green Hill]] using [[Buzz Bomber]]s. With [[Aviator Tails|Tails]] assisting the player, Eggman's forces are driven back, and the player receives the keys to the [[Tornado]]. Around this time, [[Froggy]] is lost in an area filled with [[Badnik]]s, prompting [[Big the Cat|Big]] to ask for help. The player and the team scare away the Badniks and find Froggy.</p>

<p>The storyline later introduces [[Riders Knuckles|Knuckles]] challenging the player to prove their skill with hoverboards. After completing the challenge, the player receives several hoverboards.</p>

<p>Eggman then creates a dimensional portal to the past after destroying the [[Time Stone]]s, causing [[Classic Tails]] to appear in the present while trapped in a statue-like state. As [[Green Hill (Sonic Speed Simulator)|Green Hill]] destabilizes, Tails and the player restore the Time Stones, close the portal, and save Classic Tails.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Spooky Mysteries</h3>

<p>Following the time-related crisis, the characters attempt to relax. [[Angler Big|Big]] asks the player to convince [[Camper Knuckles|Knuckles]] to go camping with him, which the player does by collecting grapes. During this event, a mysterious chrome arm appears on the beach, hinting at a new mystery.</p>

<p>The player is then contacted by an unknown figure who gives vague instructions and appears interested in testing the player's skills. After completing the challenge, the player receives [[Chrome Metal Sonic|a reward]] from the mysterious contact. The contact is eventually revealed to be [[Rouge the Bat|Rouge]], who directs the player to collect treasure for her, including the Tear of the Diamond Queen. In exchange, Rouge joins the team.</p>

<p>[[Jet the Hawk|Jet]] later appears as a skilled rider who challenges the player. After testing the player's abilities, Jet begins a competition with them in [[Metal City (Legacy)|Metal City]]. Despite his insults, the player defeats him, leaving Jet frustrated.</p>

<p>Eggman soon returns to capturing animals. With help from [[Riders Amy|Amy]], the player rescues the [[Pocky|Pockies]] in [[Metal City Skatepark (Legacy)|Metal City Skatepark]]. A separate mystery begins when a meteor crashes into Green Hill and scatters strange fragments. Eggman attempts to study the fragments for his own purposes, but Omochao and Tails help the team investigate first. Inside the meteor, Tails discovers bio-metallic versions of [[Fake Metal Knuckles|Knuckles]], [[Fake Metal Tails|Tails]], and [[Fake Metal Sonic|Sonic]].</p>

<p>To continue the investigation, the team seeks access to [[Pumpkin Hill Zone|Pumpkin Hill]], but the path is blocked. Omochao translates for [[Reaper Metal Sonic|Metal Sonic]], who explains that the Boos around Green Hill must be destroyed. After the player clears them out, Pumpkin Hill becomes accessible.</p>

<p>Readings from the meteor fragments then lead the team to Pumpkin Hill, where Rouge disappears. The player and [[Skeleton Knuckles|Knuckles]] search the area, clearing pumpkin roots and Pumpkin Ghosts before finding Rouge, who is now dressed as a witch. Sonic is later affected by Dark Gaia energy, which has readings similar to those of the mysterious meteors. [[Witch Rouge|Rouge]] attempts to create a potion to cure him, asking the team to collect seashells, volcanic crystals, and Witch's Blossoms. Even after the ingredients are gathered, the potion fails.</p>

<p>Sonic eventually transforms into the [[Sonic the Werehog|Werehog]] because of the Dark Gaia energy. To stabilize him, the player is instructed to collect Sun Medals, defeat Dark Bats, and obtain Moon Medals from [[Orbot]]. After the task is completed, Sonic stabilizes the energy and is able to roam at night as the Werehog.</p>

<p>Some time later, Sonic disappears, and digital footprints begin appearing across the area. [[Detective Tails|Tails]] works with the player to investigate, discovering that the footprints come from another dimension. [[Metal Sonic Mach 3.0]] also goes haywire, and Tails captures him for answers. From this, Tails learns that anomalies in Green Hill are being caused by a digital dimension and concludes that Sonic has been trapped inside a digital version of his past. He asks the player to return once he has found a way to enter Cyber Space.</p>

<p>A week later, Tails discovers a method to reach Cyber Space. Amy reports hearing a voice telling her to collect enough Memory Tokens to save a friend. With the player's help, the team collects the tokens and frees Sonic from his digital prison, although the anomalies continue.</p>

<p>[[Kunoichi Amy|Amy]] later notices [[Espio the Chameleon|Espio]] practicing ninja techniques because of the anomalies. She and the player train while waiting for Espio's findings. Espio later asks the player to collect Elemental Scrolls to help expand his ninjutsu knowledge and gain insight into the end of time. While meditating, he mutters fragments about Sonic, shattering, and the end of time. Once his meditation is complete, Espio warns that a powerful force is about to wreak havoc and realizes that Sonic is central to the crisis before disappearing.</p>

<p>During the holiday period, [[Tails Nine|Nine]] arrives in Green Hill due to the ongoing anomalies. [[Holiday Cheer Sonic|Sonic]] suggests collecting gingerbread cookies and delivering presents to help Nine get into the holiday mood. Later, [[Winter Sonic|Sonic]] acts strangely after losing stickers while snowboarding, and the player helps collect them so he can rejoin the team.</p>

<p>Eggman then begins setting up dig sites in Green Hill to search for the [[Paradox Prism]]. [[Prime Rouge|Rouge]] and the player infiltrate the sites and collect Moonstones before Eggman can notice. Time and space become increasingly distorted because of Eggman's actions, and Tails captures an [[Android Shadow Orange|Android Shadow]] displaying a strange message. The player completes Green Hill Time Trials to collect Rebirth Energy, allowing the android to power up while Tails continues studying it.</p>

<p>As the distortions spread beyond Green Hill into [[Lost Valley (Legacy)|Lost Valley]] and other parts of the world, the Master Emerald shatters again. Knuckles and the player destroy Eggman's forces, recover the shards, and remain alert for [[Hologram Metal Sonic|Hologram Metal Sonic]]. Knuckles also discovers keyholes around the pyramid and sends the player to locate keys. After doing so, Metal Sonic is defeated.</p>

<p>In the snowy mountains, Espio reflects with regret, believing he failed to warn Sonic in time. Soon after, Green Hill's mountains begin to rise into a dark sky. Tails attempts to activate Android Shadow using the collected Rebirth Energy, but Eggman interrupts and uses his rebirth beam on the powered-up android despite Tails' warning. The result causes everything to go dark.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Reborn</h3>

<p>After the explosion, the player wakes in a changed world and reunites with Tails. Tails believes the explosion may have caused the world itself to rebirth. While exploring, he notices the presence of [[Red Star Ring]]s and later manages to repair Android Shadow. He sends the player toward Lost Valley to meet Knuckles, suggesting that Sonic should be able to help them reach it.</p>

<p>In [[Lost Valley (Sonic Speed Simulator)|Lost Valley]], the player finds a large pyramid and reunites with Knuckles, who explains that the Master Emerald has been broken again and that Metal Sonic may be searching for its shards. Together, they collect the shards, destroy Eggman's Badniks, and discover runes matching those around the pyramid.</p>

<p>The player also finds Rouge nearby. She reveals that Eggman has kept [[Shadow the Hedgehog|Shadow]] trapped for some time and asks the player to destroy Eggman's generators to open the pyramid entrance. After a key is found from a Badnik, the player enters the pyramid and frees Shadow. Shadow thanks the player and says they should defeat Eggman at all costs.</p>

<p>In [[Emerald Hill (Sonic Speed Simulator)|Emerald Hill]], the player meets Tails again and encounters [[E-123 Omega|Omega]], who identifies Eggman as a shared enemy. Omega joins the player in fighting Eggman's forces, and the team challenges and defeats Eggman.</p>

<p>The team then travels to [[New Yoke City (Sonic Speed Simulator)|New Yoke City]], a city overrun by Eggman drones and statues resembling him. [[Rebel Rouge]] asks the player to defeat Chaos Council drones and protect key areas of the city. With the player's help, New Yoke is defended and enough parts are recovered to push back the enemy forces.</p>

These environments are based on locations from across the [[Sonic the Hedgehog series|<em>Sonic the Hedgehog</em> series]], while some were created specifically for the game or adapted from other media such as <em>[[Sonic Prime]]</em>, [[IDW Publishing|IDW]] comics, and collaboration events. Over the course of the game's updates, its world progression changed significantly, especially after the <em>Reborn</em> overhaul, which reworked map layouts, unlock requirements, and overall progression.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Main worlds</h3>

<p>The main world lineup has expanded over time, with worlds typically unlocked through rebirth milestones, quests, or later progression systems tied to Gate Keys and Main Quests.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Development</h2>

<p><em>Sonic Speed Simulator</em> was developed by [[Gamefam Studios]], a Roblox game development group based in Los Angeles. According to producer Brendan O'Brien, the game was put together in roughly three months prior to release.[cite_web url="https://twitter.com/BrendanXX6/status/1515345110732578822" title="SHADOWTHEHEDGEHOGXX" (@BrendanXX6) on Twitter" work="Twitter" date="16 April 2022" accessdate=17 April 2026 quote="<strong>SHADOWTHEHEDGEHOGXX</strong>: I want to thank @gamefamstudios and our amazing team for putting this all together in just 3 MONTHS! This is only the beginning! There's so much more to come!"] The project itself was also assembled in a very short span, with one source noting that the game page listed its creation date as 9 March 2022. DigitalPurgatory and CKDEV, both from the team behind the <em>Sonic Onset Adventure</em> fangame, were brought in to assist with development, though both later left the project in October 2022.</p>

<p>The game originated from a pitch by Joe Ferencz, Gamefam's chief executive officer, to Ivo Gerscovich, Sega's chief brand officer for <em>Sonic the Hedgehog</em>. Ferencz wanted to develop an official Roblox game based on a major video game property, while Sega was looking for ways to strengthen Sonic's appeal with younger audiences. That overlap led to the decision to bring the franchise to Roblox as an official licensed title.[cite_web last1="Sherry" first1="Ben" title="How Gamefam's Founder Taps His Inner Child to Bring Brands to the Metaverse" url="https://www.inc.com/ben-sherry/how-gamefam-founder-taps-his-inner-child-to-bring-brands-like-sonic-the-hedgehog-to-the-metaverse/90994771" website="[[Inc. (magazine)|Inc.]]" publisher="[[Mansueto Ventures]]" access-date="April 17, 2026" date="October 25, 2024"]</p>

<p>As development continued, Gamefam expanded the team with creators already known in the Sonic fan community. On 17 May 2022, Gamefam announced that [[Nibroc.Rock]] had joined the team to help further develop 3D models for the game.[ref name="SSS"][cite_web url="https://mobile.twitter.com/gamefamstudios/status/1526246309686136836" title="Gamefam Studios (@gamefamstudios) on Twitter" work="Twitter" date="16 May 2022" accessdate=17 April 2026 archiveurl="https://web.archive.org/web/20220517203056/https://mobile.twitter.com/gamefamstudios/status/1526246309686136836" archivedate="17 May 2022" quote="<strong>Gamefam Studios</strong>: We're excited to finally announce that the legendary @NibrocRock has joined the Gamefam team! Many of you may know him from the greater Sonic community, and we can't be happier to have him on board to help us further develop Sonic Speed Simulator! Welcome, Nibroc to the team!"][/ref] Another source describes him as a well-known Sonic fan recognized for his fan-made renders and his involvement in the fangame <em>Sonic World</em>, and identifies him as the project's lead developer. Later, in May 2023, [[Strike]] joined the team. Known for his work on the fangames <em>Sonic Runners Deluxe</em> and <em>Sonic World DX</em>, he took on work involving animations and character models.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Release and promotional history</h2>

<p><em>Sonic Speed Simulator</em> was first made available on [[Roblox]] as a paid closed beta, with access costing 50 Robux. The uploaded sources differ slightly on the exact start of that beta, with one giving 30 March 2022 and another describing it as being announced and released in closed beta on 13 April 2022, but they agree that the game received its full free public release on 16 April 2022. Players who joined the paid beta received a free [[Knuckles Chao]] pet.</p>

<p>After launch, the game followed a frequent update cycle. One source states that updates were released every Sunday, while another says the game is actively updated every Friday, with larger updates on Saturdays and some special releases tied to player milestones such as like goals. Because the sources do not fully match on the weekly schedule, it is safest to say that the game adopted a rapid and regular live-service update pattern shortly after release.</p>

<p>Promotion for the game extended beyond Roblox itself. According to one source, some updates were advertised directly on the Roblox website, while the game was also promoted through Sonic Official livestreams and [[Sonic Central (presentation)|Sonic Central]] presentations. During [[Sonic Central 2022]], held on 7 June 2022, Gamefam and Sega announced that a [[Chemical Plant Zone]] area would be added on 11 June, and an [[Amy Rose|Amy]] Chao code was revealed the same day.</p>

<p>One of the game's most notable promotional tie-ins came later that year with <em>[[Sonic Prime]]</em>. From 10 December to 16 December 2022, players could attend a special early screening of the first episode before its initial [[Netflix]] debut. To support the event, Gamefam, Sega, Netflix, [[WildBrain Studios]], and [[Roblox Corporation]] partnered on a promotion that allowed players to earn Nine's Mechanical Arms as a virtual UGC accessory.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Promotional events</h3>

<p><em>Sonic Speed Simulator</em> has been used for several promotional tie-ins tied to other Sonic media, Roblox-wide campaigns, and multi-game collaborations. Its most notable early promotion was the <em>[[Sonic Prime]]</em> event held from 10 December to 16 December 2022, during which players could attend a special early screening of the first episode of the series before its debut on [[Netflix]]. The promotion was organized through a partnership involving Gamefam, Sega, Netflix, [[WildBrain Studios]], and [[Roblox Corporation]], and rewarded players with Nine's Mechanical Arms as a virtual UGC accessory.[cite_web last="Deschamps" first="Marc" title="Sonic Prime: How to Watch Netflix's Sonic the Hedgehog Show 5 Days Early" url="https://comicbook.com/gaming/news/sonic-prime-netflix-sonic-the-hedgehog-show-5-days-early-roblox/" publisher="[[ComicBook.com]]" date="December 6, 2022"][cite_web last="Behan" first="Daire" title="Sonic Prime's First Episode Will Have Early Premiere in Roblox" url="https://gamerant.com/sonic-prime-first-episode-early-premiere-roblox/" publisher="[[Game Rant]]" date="December 7, 2022"][cite_web last="Liang" first="Lu-Hai" title="Roblox Gets First Episode Premiere Of Netflix's Sonic Prime" url="https://www.thegamer.com/roblox-gets-first-episode-premiere-netflix-sonic-prime/" publisher="The Gamer" date="December 6, 2022"] The game also included the [[World Premiere]] area, which served as the in-game venue for that screening.</p>

<p>The <em>Sonic Prime</em> promotion extended beyond <em>Sonic Speed Simulator</em> itself through connected badge events in other Roblox experiences. These included badges in <em>Weapon Fighting Simulator</em>, <em>Starving Artists</em>, and <em>Funky Friday</em>, the last of which awarded an exclusive "Popcorn Chao" plushie for completing a Sonic Prime event song. <em>Sonic Speed Simulator</em> itself also featured a dedicated <em>Sonic Prime</em> Premiere badge tied to watching the credits of "[[Shattered]]" during the World Premiere event.</p>

<p>The game has also participated in wider Roblox event campaigns. One example was <em>RB Battles Season 3</em>, where players could earn the "Sonic's RB Battles Challenge" badge by completing the [[Synth City Obby|RB Battles obby]] in <em>Sonic Speed Simulator</em>. Another was <em>The Hunt: First Edition</em>, which included a badge for completing the Hunt quest in the game. Later Roblox-wide campaigns included <em>The Games</em>, which distributed several event badges, and <em>Winter Spotlight</em>, which awarded Standard and Elite Tokens tied to ring collection and holiday present delivery.</p>

<p>Several later promotions tied the game to outside Sonic or crossover releases. A limited-time <em>Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles</em> collaboration awarded a Tales of TMNT badge and connected the game to the then-upcoming television series. Another cross-game promotion tied to <em>[[Sonic X Shadow Generations]]</em> allowed players to unlock the Doom's Eye Fast Friend item by completing quests across both <em>Sonic Speed Simulator</em> and <em>Really Easy Obby</em>. Additional promotional badges were also distributed through other Roblox games for "Sonic World" events.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Reborn update and data wipe</h2>

<p>On 10 February 2023, ''Sonic Speed Simulator'' received a major overhaul that renamed the game <strong><em>Sonic Speed Simulator Reborn</em></strong>. According to the supplied sources, this update dramatically reworked the game, changing the scale of its maps, its rebirth progression, its pet systems, and several other core features.</p>

<p>The update was also accompanied by a full data wipe. All player progress was reset, and returning players lost their existing advancement when they started the new version after being shown an opening cutscene. Later, the in-game title reverted back to '''''Sonic Speed Simulator''''', and the ''Reborn'' name was removed from the game itself, though one source notes that it continued to appear in Sonic Official livestreams.</p>

<p>The gameplay structure changed substantially after the reset. Before ''Reborn'', progression centered on a capped level system in which players explored six zones, collected [[Chaos Orb]]s, leveled up Speed and Power, and rebirthed at the level cap to raise that cap further while earning permanent bonuses. Earlier versions also included activities such as races, obbies, and the [[Tornado]] flight segment.</p>

<p>After ''Reborn'', the game shifted to a new structure built around three main zones at launch and a less restrictive level system. Player level was no longer capped in the same way, and rebirths instead awarded Rebirth Tokens based on the player's level at the time of rebirth. These tokens could be spent on permanent multipliers for XP, Rings, and damage. Pets were also heavily reworked, no longer leveling through collected XP and instead being upgraded with Rings and [[Red Star Ring]]s, with their level cap reduced to 25 instead of 99. The update also removed several older activities from the pre-''Reborn'' version, including races and the Tornado flight mode as they had existed before the overhaul.</p>

<p>In story terms, the ''Reborn'' change was reflected through the game's narrative as well. The quest storyline frames the transition as the result of Eggman using a rebirth beam on a powered-up Android Shadow, after which everything goes dark and the player awakens in a changed world. Tails then explains that the explosion may have caused the world itself to rebirth.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Soundtrack</h2>

<p>Rather than featuring a wholly original soundtrack, ''Sonic Speed Simulator'' primarily makes use of music drawn from previous entries in the [[Sonic the Hedgehog series|''Sonic'' series]]. Over time, the selection expanded significantly as new worlds, races, boss fights, and event areas were added.</p>

<p>===Music Player===</p>

<p>In the 2.69 update, the '''Music Player''' was added, allowing players to play tracks at any time. Most of its selections reuse music already associated with prior content in the game, though some new tracks were also introduced. New music notes have continued to be added over time.</p>
