The Custom Actions are a collection of specialized moves for Sonic the Hedgehog in Sonic the Hedgehog (2006).
Description
There exists a total of seven Custom Actions in Sonic the Hedgehog (2006), all which can be used exclusively by Sonic. Each Custom Action grants Sonic a unique ability that the player can use to leverage the gameplay. The player can obtain a Custom Action by purchasing the appropriate Gem from a Shop in the Town Stages in Sonic's storyline of the game. After being purchased, the player can select a Custom Action to use by using the D-pad, which will set the Gem with the desired Custom Action next to the Action Gauge. They can then use it by holding or pressing

, depending on the Action.

| Homing Smash | White Gem | Allows Sonic to stop in midair and perform a charged Homing Attack. |
| Mach Speed | Blue Gem | Initiates an increased Speed Boost. |

Trivia
- The Action Gauge was originally intended to limit Sonic's usage of these gems, but since it was never coded correctly, it never runs out.
