The Accelerator Gun[1]is a gimmick that appears in Sonic Unleashed and Sonic Colors. It is a midair shooter which the player can control the direction of.
The Accelerator Gun consists of two disks, each with a red edge on one side and a mark on the middle, which float parallel to each other. These disks each have a oblong rectangle sticking out from their sides that glow light blue and are synchronized with each other.
In gameplay, the player can jump in between the two disks of the Accelerator Gun which will suspend Sonic between them while spinning. The player can then shoot Sonic though midair in the direction of their oblong rectangle. Additionally, depending on the player's controls between games, the player can choose between the directions up, down, or forward to shoot Sonic in. However, the player only has a limited time to shoot out Sonic, or he will fall out of the Accelerator Gun.
The Accelerator Gun made its first appearance in both versions of Sonic Unleashed where they only appear in the 2.5D sections of the daytime Stages. In this game, a green gauge on the Accelerator Gun indicates how much time the player has to shoot out Sonic.
In the PlayStation 3/Xbox 360 version of the game, the direction of the Accelerator Gun depends on which button the player presses: pressing /Template:X Button will shoot Sonic upward, / will shoot Sonic forward and / will shoot Sonic downward. Every Accelerator Gun in these versions are marked with a button indicating an optimal direction for the player to shoot Sonic, but the player also has the option of choosing another direction which may sometimes lead to a shortcut.
In the PlayStation 2/Wii version of the game, all the Accelerator Guns are marked with a white question mark. When using them in these versions, the needed button to be pressed will appear on the screen.
In the Wii version of Sonic Colors, the Accelerator Gun appears in both the 25.D and 3D sections of the levels, unlike in Sonic Unleashed. To use the Accelerator Gun in this game, the player has to press the following buttons while tilting the Control Stick in the direction Sonic has to be shot in:
Wii Remote Normal
Wii Remote Sideways
Classic Style
GameCube Controller
