Items (SCD)

From Sonic - Wiki on Neoseeker

Why are there items in the game? They're just there to simply make the game easier when you earn these. Most of the time they can be very useful.

[edit] On Level items

• Rings: These are what keep Sonic living. Getting one hundred of these gives him an extra life. If he gets hit while carrying rings he will lose all of them. If he gets hit with 0 rings then he will die.

• Lamppost: When you go past these a checkpoint is made. When you lose a life in the zone you're in you will start at the last Lamppost you hit instead of the beginning of the level.

• Time posts: These either have Past or Future written on them. Running past one of these will give Sonic the ability to travel time if he keeps at a constant fast speed for a certain amount of time.

• Generator: These are only found in the Past. There is one hidden in each act and finding and destryoing it will ensure a Good Future for that Act.

• Capsules: Items are stored in these capsules. Use them to help you out.

• Super Ring: Hitting this will give you 10 rings instead of one.

• Shield: With this on you won't lose rings when you're hit. Absorbs only one hit.

• Power Sneakers: These give Sonic extra speed. He will be faster than before.

• Invincible: You will not lose any rings when you're hit. This protects you against spikes and enemies. This only lasts for a short time, though.

• Special Stage Items: Use these to help you in the special stages.

• Sneakers: Gives Sonic more speed than before.

• Time Bonus: This will add 30 seconds to the timer.

• Super Ring: Gives you 10 rings at once instead of one ring.

• Special Stage Obstacles: These might help you on Special Stages as well... they also might make them harder.

• Fan Blocks: go on these and Sonic will be spinning in the air. This is good for shortcuts. Make sure to use it right.

• Chopper Blocks: This grabs Sonic and throws him on his face making him lose coins.

• Bumpers: These will help you get back on the course if you're about to fall off.

• Dash Zones: This will make you speed through the direction they're pointing at.

• Spring Blocks: These will make you bounce high in the air. It's good for shortcuts and attacking enemies.
