Boost Pads are always placed on solid surfaces and are usually used to help the player move across sections and gimmicks where high-speed momentum is needed. As such, they are most commonly placed in the game's speed levels at steep uphills, close to loops, runnable walls and even ceilings, or just straight paths.

Template:Item The Boost Pad[1] is a gimmick that appears in Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric and is the game's counterpart to the Dash Panel in the main game series. They are flat panels that allow the player to reach top running speed and can direct the player's path.

Description

The Boost Pads resemble large and rectangular blue plates with black lines and a golden frame. For some Boost Pads, the lines are oblique while others are arranged in an arrow pattern.

Boost Pads' primary function is to send the player's playable character forward with a burst of speed. As soon as the playable character touches a Boost Pad, either from walking onto it, running over/through it or jumping onto it, they will automatically initiate a running dash away from the Boost Pad at maximum running speed. However, Boost Pads can only launch the playable characters forward in one direction. Additionally, they also serve in many automated sections of the levels to guide the playable character down certain pathways.

Boost Pads are always placed on solid surfaces and are usually used to help the player move across sections and gimmicks where high-speed momentum is needed. As such, they are most commonly placed in the game's speed levels at steep uphills, close to loops, runnable walls and even ceilings, or just straight paths.
