Sonic the Hedgehog

Sonic is the fastest of all three playable characters in SRB2, but he's also the least versatile. His special ability is the double-jump "Air Spin Attack", or the "thok", named after the sound it makes. The thok gives the player a burst of speed, which is useful for clearing wide gaps and automatically giving acceleration. Because he cannot gain any height aside from jumping, many areas will be inaccessible to him, so he must find other routes around them. Due to his high speed, he's also somewhat difficult to control, especially when using his special ability.

Abilities and Techniques

• Like every default character in SRB2, Sonic can spindash by pressing the spin button for a few seconds and then releasing. This spins him into a ball and shoots him forward at high speeds, but limits his ability to move sideways.
• Sonic's double-jump special ability is the thok, which gives him a quick forward burst, which accelerates him considerably in mid-air. This allows him cross large distances very quickly. This makes him the preferrable character in Race mode, because his thok attack makes him much quicker than any other character.
  • Sonic can cross very wide gaps by revving spin dash near a cliff, and then releasing. Just before Sonic falls off, jump. Hold the Forward button the entire way and then thok. The timing of the thok affects greatly how wide a gap Sonic can cross. The thok is usually best done in the middle of a jump. This technique is very useful in open, straightforward CTF stages to quickly get from one base to the other.
  • Thokking directly before bouncing off an enemy or monitor (this technique is called monitor bouncing) accelerates Sonic considerably, thus giving him a large upward boost. With this technique, Sonic can reach areas that would normally be too high for him to access.

Super Transformation

Another special ability characteristic of Sonic is his super transformation. When given seven Chaos Emeralds and fifty rings, Sonic can become the golden Super Sonic, making him faster and stronger for a certain period of time. Super Sonic is completely invincible to everything except drowning, deathpits, and getting crushed— but be careful. Your rings drain by the second, and once they reach zero, Sonic turns back to normal, making him vulnerable to everything he once was.

When Super Sonic is used in Match, he has the same abilities that he has when he is used in Single Player. He is also the only character who has specialized Super sprites, which makes him easily identifiable in Match.
