Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal

Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal is an upcoming 2D side-scrolling action/adventure game, set for release exclusively on the Nintendo 3DS, produced and developed by Big Red Button Entertainment. The game plays as the handheld counterpart of Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric and is the second title of the Sonic Boom continuity.

Plot
Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal will centre around events and lore of the Sonic Boom universe with exclusive environments and characters. Like its Wii U counterpart, the newly introduced villain, Lyric, plays as the main antagonist, who kidnaps Amy, presumably for the purpose of using her to find the crystal shards, considering she is the archaeologist of the group. This sets Sticks, who will play an integral roll to rescue her, while working as a team with Sonic, Tails and Knuckles to prevent Lyric from powering his army of robots and carrying out his plan to destroy the world.

Gameplay
Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal is set to be a 2D scroll adventure platformer. Unlike its Wii U counterpart, Shattered Crystal will place a bigger emphasis on platforming and puzzles, while each character has their own unique abilities to get them through the levels. Additionally, unique collectibles featured in this version will unlock special content for the Rise of Lyric via Wi-Fi connectivity.
