Checkpoint (Sonic Boom)

Check Points are distinguished stone, shrine like objects in Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric which serve as progress markers and are found around areas in the game. They activate and glow when the player is merely near them. Because Rise of Lyric does not incorporate lives or time limits the check points serve merely to "respawn" the player when defeated allowing them to continue where they had failed, such as major fights or obsticals.

Variation
Check Points also appear in Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal appearing more like Star Posts and function like traditional check points. When defeated the player restarts from last check point at the recorded time they touched it. Unlike Star Posts they are a darker shade of red and does not adorn the star symbol. Instead when passed a check mark indicates the check point had been passed.

Trivia

 * Some check points in Rise of Lyric are possitioned before barriers or one way entrances to major fights. It is possible to get stuck by respawning after these barriers and being trapped outside forcing the player to restart.
