Slow-Down Shoes


 * Not to be confused with Slow-Down Boots.

Slow-Down Shoes (simply called スピードダウン Speed Down in Japan) are power-ups that only appear in Competition mode of Sonic the Hedgehog 3. One piece of Slow-Down Shoes are inside of bubble, that appears floating and rotating around at one point of competition stage with Speed-Up Shoes.

If the player grabs the item, it has opposite effect comparing to the Speed-Up Shoes, as the player will move slower for ten seconds, although there is change to get Speed-Up Shoes or other item after that. The player may have problem to build momentum to get through loops or couldn't jump as further as with normal speed, which is recommended to not get this power-up.
