Crystals are objects featured in Sonic Runners. They are gems in different sizes and colors which are used in gameplay to earn points.
Description
Like Rings, Crystals are found floating on different types of string, group or formations on the player's pathway. When the player is collecting Crystals, the score keeps increasing, but at the same time increasing the combo. As long the player keeps the combo going, more points he/she earns. There are six different types of Crystals which each one grants different number of points:
- Small blue Crystal = 5 points
- Small green Crystal = 10 points
- Small red Crystal = 15 points
- Large blue Crystal = 50 points
- Large green Crystal = 100 points
- Large red Crystal = 150 points
Smaller crystals are more commonly types found in the game. Larger ones will appear only occasionally and more as the player progresses further. If the player doesn't manage to collect Crystals for several seconds, the combo will be broken. This also applies if the player gets hit by Badnik, Spikes or any other obstacle. However the combo can be kept going, if the player collects Rings. By using different items like Magnet or any Wisp's Color Power available, Crystals can be absorbed by item's magnetic force nearby. When the player is using Combo Bonus, the Crystal collecting combo will become unbreakable and keeps increasing the score significantly for short amount of time.
