Bomb Block 2

Bomb Block 1 (ボムブロック 2) is the second extra stage in Sonic Forces. It is unlocked after collecting forty Red Star Rings and is playable only as the Avatar.

Overview
Plasma Cannon 1 takes place within the interior section of Network Terminal where many of the paths are made up of blocks and Containers (breakable and otherwise).

Gameplay
The course through Bomb Block 2 takes place entirely in 2.5D and is a straight path with several twists and turns.

Many of the paths the player will walk on in Bomb Block 2 are made of bomb-based red and black blocks. These bomb blocks can be walked on like any Container. However, when the player touches them, they will flash for about a second before detonating. If the player gets caught in a block bomb's explosion, they will take damage. In addition, one bomb block's detonation can set off a chain reaction that will make nearby bomb blocks detonate as well. Weaker Containers that make up the paths will similarly be destroyed by a block bomb's detonation.

Bomb Block 2 is akin to a puzzle and puts emphasis on trial and error. The player must be mindful about which bomb blocks they set off and where the playable characters stand when they go off, as most of the paths the player walk on in this extra stage will be influenced by the bomb blocks. If the player is in the wrong place at the wrong time, the bomb blocks' detonations will result in the playable characters losing the footing beneath their feet and falling into the ever-present bottomless pit.
