Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Sonic Dash is a free-to-play Endless Running Game developed by Hardlight and published by SEGA for iOS, Android and (formerly) Windows devices. It is set in the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise.The game plays much like fellow Endless Running Game Temple Run, but has its own unique spin on things. Unlike Temple Run, which is controlled by both tilt and touch controls, Dash is played completely using touch controls, a decision that critics and fans have both unanimously praised. Being a Sonic game, Dash also moves at a significantly faster pace than Temple Run, and using the Spin Dash ducking move, Sonic can also destroy enemies in his path. Power-ups such as ring magnets and head-starts can be obtained both in-game and via the game's store. Some items and upgrades can be purchased using the standard gold rings you collect during game play, but others must be purchased with special red rings that can be obtained by completing missions and buying them with physical money from the in-game store.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })On October 31st, 2013, a boss battle featuring Zazz from Sonic Lost World was added to the game. A battle against Dr. Eggman (which is really just a reskin of the Zazz fight) was later added on February 13, 2014. A sequel was made in 2015 that focused on the Sonic Boom cartoon. A arcade version named Sonic Dash Extreme likewise followed where you play for tickets.A racing spinoff made to promote Sonic Forces, Sonic Forces: Speed Battle, was released worldwide on November 2, 2017.

Score Multiplier: Completing missions adds to the starting score multiplier, having a full Dash Meter doubles whatever the base amount is, and using the Golden Badnik bonus on a run will add up to x6 on top of that.

comment
No Plot? No Problem!: A rare example in modern gaming; there is literally no story in this game at all. You're just running forward, dodging obstacles and killing enemies, with the occasional loop-de-loop and boss fight. The comic fleshes it out a bit; it says the game is Sonic and friends going on a red ring hunt.

Disc-One Nuke: If you collect enough Rings early on and upgrade the Boost and Filling time enough, you can use the Dash on a regular basis, which basically turns the game into a complete cakewalk.

comment
Bribing Your Way to Victory: It's entirely possible to get everything by playing for free and watching ads to get more rings, but due to how the game is structured, it'd take a long time. So the in-game marketplace gives options of buying red rings and gold rings with real-world money. Real-world money can also buy a free revive for every single playthrough.

Weird Crossover: For a limited time, Dash included playable characters from the game Angry Birds Epic. For the first week of December 2016, Hello Kitty characters can be obtained for a limited time. More recently, they did a cross-promotion with Danimals yoghurt that allowed you to unlock Bongo, the current Danimals mascot as a playable character.

Invulnerable Attack
 Sonic Dash (Video Game) / int_8bc0317a
comment
Invulnerable Attack: Collecting rings charges up Sonic's Dash Meter, which allows him to run extra fast for a while. Using it causes all obstacles, including gaps and barricades, to have no effect on him at all. The Head Start item is basically the same thing, except you get to use it at the start of a new game without any rings.

One-Hit-Point Wonder
 Sonic Dash (Video Game) / int_8df14c99
comment
One-Hit-Point Wonder: Sonic (or whoever you're playing as), although it's especially glaring in this game, because any obstacle Sonic touches without dashing (that isn't an enemy, spikes, or a bomb) will make him keel over instantly, even if he has rings! It's especially egregious in that Rings somehow protect you from bombs, spikes, and Badniks (all things that are obviously harmful), but not from walls, pillars, bridges, and other things that don't have much potential for causing injury at subsonic speeds. Like in the main series, this can be extended to two hits if a shield bubble is picked up. That said, shields wear off in this game if you spend about half a minute without getting hit.

Damn You, Muscle Memory!
 Sonic Dash (Video Game) / int_963086ce
comment
Damn You, Muscle Memory!: Unlike previous games in the Sonic series, the magnet powerup does not qualify as a shield here. Also, both the magnet and the actual shield powerup only last for a brief period of time (though that period can be extended via upgrades), while in previous games, they lasted until the player got hit. Invoked intentionally by the spring transition bonus mini-game. The game will often give you one or two directional combos over and over until you're able to do them in mere moments without thought only to give you a completely different combo, causing you to slip up and miss out on the bonus rings.

Luck-Based Mission
 Sonic Dash (Video Game) / int_98b1dc8f
comment
Luck-Based Mission: Certain missions, such as going through X loops or destroying X Choppers, can be a crapshoot as, due to the Cut-and-Paste Environments nature of the game, it's entirely possible for the player to simply not come across any, even if they try to take paths that are more likely to include said obstacles. Fortunately, these missions are usually cumulative rather than needing to be done on a single run, so you'll still finish them eventually.

Sadistic Choice
 Sonic Dash (Video Game) / int_babc974
comment
Sadistic Choice: The missions that require the player to perform some action every day for X consecutive days to complete. Either you accept that you won't be completing the current trio of missions for several days, thus severely limiting the Red Rings you can gather during that time, or you can opt to skip it, but spend several Red Rings to do so. The missions that require playing as a certain character are also quite sadistic. Since characters cost Red Rings to buy and the number of Red Rings it costs to skip a mission increases the more you play, the choice is between spending a fairly large number of Red Rings to skip the mission or spending an even larger amount that will at least get you something from it.
