Chest

There are nine different kinds of chests in Sonic Forces: Speed Battle, which can be split into three different categories: Victory Chests, Battle Chests, and Free Chests. Free Chests are available every 4 hours and are the most basic kind of chest. A player can hold up to two free chests at a time.

There are four different kinds of Battle Chests: 1st Place Chest, 2nd Place Chest, 3rd Place Chest, and 4th Place Chest. Players can obtain 20 Battle Chests per day (1 per battle) and obtain them depending on how they place in their race. Getting 1st place ensures you the 1st Place Chest with the most number of cards. Getting 4th place will award you a 4th Place Chest with the least number of cards. If you run with your Star Runner, your Battle Chests will hold double the number of cards. Running with your Star Runner does not count towards your 20-Battle-Chest limit per day.

Victory Chests are awarded to players who place 1st and 2nd in races. There is no limit to how many victory chests one can obtain in a day, but one can only hold 4 chests at a time. There are four different kinds of Victory Chests (from worst to best): Silver Chest, Gold Chest, Platinum Chest, and Emerald Chest. Getting 1st place in a race does not guaranty an Emerald Chest; in fact, Emerald Chests are the rarest chest in the game. Platinum chests are the second rarest, with Gold and Silver chests being third and fourth rarest. Silver Chests take 3 hours to unlock, Gold Chests take 8 hours, Platinum Chests take longer than Gold, and Emerald Chests take the longest.
