Zip Target

The Zip Target is a gimmick that appears in Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric. They are essentially floating hooks the player can latch onto with the EnerBeam.

Description
The Zip targets are golden metallic cones pointing downward with cyan glowing orb occupying the lower half. The cones have sockets for their orbs and a cyan outline on the top. The Zip targets can always been found floating in the air above the playable characters.

Using the EnerBeam on a Zip target will cause the player to latch onto it, with the playable character dangling from the EnerBeam which stays connected to the Zip target's orb. Their purpose is to provide alternate ways to traverse the levels by allowing the player to swing over large gabs using the EnerBeam. Sometimes, there are also rows of Zip targets which the player can latch onto one by one to cross larger gabs. Some Zip targets also have to be moved into position to be used by completing different puzzles.

To latch onto a Zip Target in gameplay, the player has to press when near one. To swing on a Zip target, the player has to use the left analog stick,
