Chill your rivals to the bone as spooky tombstones appear before them!


— Description, Sonic Forces: Speed Battle

The Dead End is an Item Box power-up that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is a Trap Item used primarily to obstruct opposing rivals' path.

Description[]

The Dead End take the form of gray tombstones with bats circling round it, both as an icon and on the tracks.

Overview[]

In gameplay, the Dead End can only be obtained at random from Item Boxes by Reaper Metal Sonic. As with most other Items, Metal Sonic can also use the Dead End if he uses the Steal Item to steal it from the aforementioned user.

Once obtained, the player can utilize the Dead End by pressing its icon on the bottom of the HUD. In addition, when obtaining the Dead End, there is a chance of obtaining up to three Dead Ends to use in the Trap Item slot on the HUD from a single Item Box. When used, the Dead End's tombstone will appear in front of the user's next rival if the user is behind said rival. If the user is leading the race however, it will appear on the lane directly behind them. If a character collides with a Dead End, including the user themselves, they will lose Rings and be frozen. To avoid the Dead End, the playable character has to either step out of its lane or jump over it.

The Dead End can also be upgraded by leveling the user up to level 4, 10 and 16 respectively. When the user is upgraded to level 4 and 16, the player will be more likely to obtain three Dead Ends from a single Item Box, and when the user is upgraded to level 10, the player will be more likely to obtain two Dead Ends from a single Item Box.
