Air Boost Shoes


 * Not to be confused with Shadow's Air Shoes from Sonic Adventure 2.

The Air Boost Shoes are an upgrade for Sonic the Hedgehog in Sonic Unleashed.

Description
They are a pair of shoes with wings that allows Sonic to use his Sonic Boost while in midair, which can be very useful such as by getting to the next day stage in the same area.

Location
In the 360/PS3 versions of Sonic Unleashed The Air Boost Shoes can be found Chun-Nan's Entrance Stage, the hub of Chun-Nan's Action Stages (In the Wii/PS2 version of the game, Sonic possesses the Air Boost Shoes from the begining). In order to obtain it, Sonic must possess the Wall Jump Shoes upgrade.

Upon entering Chun-Nan's Entrance Stage, the Air Boost Shoes can be found on the top of a high cliff to the left. To reach the top of this cliff, Sonic must scale the hollow found in the front of the cliff with the Wall Jump. Once on the top, the Air Boost Shoes are there for the taking.

Trivia

 * With very very good timing, by boosting on the ground, then jumping, then doing a Jump Dash at the right time you can clear the long jump required to get to the inaccessible area where the level is, making it possible to skip this upgrade. It is useful to skip this as the Air Boost Shoes can kill you much more easily than a Jump Dash can. The Jump Dash stops your downward movement for about 2 seconds and when it is done you fall and move forward slowly, but the Air Boost you use it and you fall and move very quickly making small distances hard and when you land you keep your velocity which makes small platforms almost impossible.
