Rocket Shoes

The Rocket Shoes (ロケットシューズ) are power-ups that can be found at monitors. Rocket Shoes first appear in Sonic Chaos and later make another appearance in Sonic Triple Trouble. In both games, the player can only use these power-ups with Sonic the Hedgehog.

Description
Rocket Shoes are foot wears which are similar to Sonic's own sneakers. What makes them special is having rocket engines set behind of them. After breaking the monitor, it makes its user fly at high speed for several seconds in the air while wild background music can be heard during the event. After the ride, Rocket Shoes will disappear and the player falls down to the ground.

The controls while using the Rocket Shoes in both games can be hard, as upward rising and descent can be rather quick or turning in the opposite direction can be strenuous. Usually Tails can't use these power-ups which are replaced with something else.

Sonic Chaos
First appearing in Sonic Chaos, Rocket Shoes can be found from monitors at Turquoise Hill Zone, Gigalopolis Zone, Sleeping Egg Zone and Mecha Green Hill Zone. In Sonic Chaos, it is almost possible to fly through the whole one act in the air. While playing as Tails, monitors with Rocket Shoes are replaced by 10-Ring monitors.

The player also has to complete first Special Stage by using Rocket Shoes to fly to the end of Stage to gather Chaos Emerald before the time runs out. Here the time of using the Rocket Shoes is unlimited. At same time the player can collect normal size rings and even bigger rings that gives points to the player. Rocket Shoes can also found at near end of fourth Special Stage as well.

Sonic Triple Trouble
Rocket Shoes make second appearance in Sonic Triple Trouble, where objects can be found again from monitors at Great Turquoise Zone. The player also starts the third act of Atomic Destroyer Zone with Rocket Shoes until suddenly Metal Sonic starts following Sonic and hits him as the player loses Rocket Shoes and has to prepare to another duel with Metal Sonic. In the game, Rocket Shoes are replaced with Hyper Heli-Tails power-ups which Tails can use and which also are similar to Rocket Shoes.
