Junction switch

 Junction switches are a type of switch that appear in the Air Fleet level of Shadow the Hedgehog.

Overview
Junction switches are switches that appear at junctions in the Air Fleet, and depending on which way the junction switch faces, that is the direction the President’s escape pod will travel. The player has control of deciding which way the junction switch faces, and and can alter it at will simply by shooting it with a weapon. Depending on which way this switch faces, and in turn which way the escape pod goes, the escape pod will either be in the player’s range of attack for a prolonged time or a very short time.

When the junction switch is glowing blue, this indicates the path the escape pod will take is favorable to the hero mission of Air Fleet, but if it is glowing red, this indicates the direction the escape pod will take is favorable to the dark mission of Air Fleet.
