Hoop (Sonic Boom)

The Hoop is a gimmick that appears in Sonic Dash 2: Sonic Boom. It is a large ring-shaped hoop used for acceleration.

Description
The Hoop is basically a floating ring large enough for someone at Knuckles's size to pass through. It is colored fully blue and glows from a close-surfaced, cyan aura.

Overview
In gameplay, Hoops are located on the rails along the ground tracks and Ener-Rails in any of the game's areas.

When passing through a Hoop, the playable character is given an increase in speed, similar to a Boost Ring. However, the Hoop's speed boost only lasts for as long as the player is riding on its rail/Ener-Rail section. When passing through a Hoop, the player also builds up one Combo link for the player's score, which can be chained by passing through more Hoops or destroying enemies.
