These sections are easily the highlight of the game. Sonic Boom does a nice job of allowing for each to be used pretty regularly, and rarely relies on one trick to keep things moving. Each character has special abilities that help them traverse the world. There are also exploration levels, classic 2D sections and of course plenty of brawling combat. I spent most of the time just holding a direction and hoping for the best. There are traditional Sonic levels where blazing through speed pads is commonplace, but they are limited in both occurrence and interactivity. Sonic Boom is broken down into smaller chunks of game play.
