Time Bonus

The Time Bonus is a power-up that first appears in Sonic the Hedgehog Triple Trouble. It is a special object used to extend time limits.

Sonic Triple Trouble
In Sonic the Hedgehog Triple Trouble, the Time Bonus is a Monitor item which is indicated by a red and blue colored clock on the Monitor's screen. It can be only found in platform types of Special Stages. By breaking a Time Bonus Monitor, it will revert the time limit each of the Special Stages back to a full one minute and thirty seconds.

Sonic Generations
In Sonic Generations, Time Bonuses are found in several of the Challenge Acts with time limits. In this game, the object resemble typical mechanical analog stopwatches that floats in midair. When touched, the Time Bonuses will decrease the time measured for how long the player has been in the Challenge Act, thereby giving the player a better chance to achieve a high Rank for the act. The amount of time they decrease depends on their color: blue Time Bonuses decreases the time by five seconds, yellow ones by ten seconds and the red ones by twenty seconds.
