 * For the category, see Category:Keys.

The key is an object that appears in Sonic the Hedgehog (2006). They are used by the player to unlock blocked paths.

Description
Keys are small golden skeleton keys with two small teeth and a round bow with a white start surrounded by a blue and red circle within it. They are only found in Shadow's version of Kingdom Valley and some of the Hard Mode Action Stages.

In gameplay, the keys are used to unlock essential paths in Actions Stages that are blocked by large gates. The keys always come in a set of three and lie scattered in the general area of the gate blocking the path, usually inside Cases or behind breakable ice walls. The player must find and collect the keys by touching them and once all keys are collected, the path will automatically be opened.
