Jump Panel (plate)

"Jump on panel No. 1. It will take you to panels 2 and 3. Jump as soon as you land on the panel, or else you'll fall."

- Tikal's hint, Sonic Adventure.

The number panels are a bunch of panels that appear in Sonic Adventure, Sonic Rivals 2 and Sonic Generations.

Description
The number panels are a bunch of five or more panels that take the player to higher places harder to access as a shortcut. The player have to go to the first panel and then press the jump bottom to be warped at light speed to the second panel, and then to the rest. However, if the player doesn't press the bottom quickly once they were warped to the second or the rest panels, the character will fall and he have to restart.

Sonic Adventure
Number panels appears in Sonic Adventure and his remake for the first time, they are five panels numbered in order, colored orange (it will turn into bleck when the character is in), yellow and green. They appear in Emerald Coast, Windy Valley, Ice Cap and Red Mountain.

Sonic Rivals 2
In Sonic Rivals 2 the panels reappear. However, they are colored blue, red and green, and they aren't numbered. Also when the character touches the panel, it will do rolling animations, and the platform will emit a green light. They appear in all the zones, except in Neon Palace Zone.

Sonic Generations (3DS)
The number panels reappear in the Nintendo 3DS version of Sonic Generations, they appear only in both acts of Emerald Coast as a remake. They appear with the same design as in Sonic Adventure, but due to the gameplay being in 2.5D, the panels have a numbered sprite with a circle around looking at the camera.
