I had this dream I had a phone game similar to Pokémon Go only starring Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and for some reason AiAi, all wearing those roung capsule-barriers AiAi wears and rolling around what limited memory of London streets I got.

It got me thinking, what if Sega did make a Sonic phone game that uses phone cameras. I think they may have considered it once but was unconfirmed. I made a silly comic about it.

Anyway I never played Pokémon Go so I don't know how good AR tracking technology is in phone games, but heres my idea that allows players to play at their own human pace but still retains Sonic signiture speed.

Dr. Eggman has banished Sonic into a dimension between Earth and our Earth. However a special app allows us to see Sonic who is stuck between our worlds. The games camera phone could have a center crossfire which Sonic will attempt to follow. So let's say you were standing in the high street and pointed the crosshair not far from you, Sonic will run up towards you. If you aim it to the hills, Sonic will be sure to run there to the best of his abilities. Tails (or perhaps Nicole) will report "Attacks" happening, these are small groups of Flappers and EggPawns that are trying to invade our world the same way Sonic was banished. Simply go to the area of the invasion and aim the crosshair at the badniks and tap them to make Sonic home in on them.

While traveling you could perhaps find rings to collect which are common along Maps roads and paths, while significant city places, like monuments, churches, town halls, statues etc. would have Red Rings or an Emblem to collect for the first come, first serve. (Similar to PokéStop locations.)

There are areas where EggRobos which are vastly superior to EggPawns and ride custom made Egg-mobiles. They serve as Dr. Eggmans commanders and can be found in public locations, including (but not limited to) public artwork/murals, libraries, famous landmarks, churches, police stations, fire stations, and public parks. (Where Go Gyms would perhaps be) These EggRobos play like boss battles in which defeating them scores big points.

All collecting rings and points could be tallied on a world leaderboard or something.
