The firewall[1] (ファイアーウォール[2] Faiā U~ōru?) is an obstacle that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. They are network security systems used by multiple parties that monitor and control the incoming and outgoing network traffic.

Description[]

According to Rouge the Bat, the firewalls are defense systems within computers that are set up in order to ward off intruders.[1] In cyberspace, they take the form of large, glowing red or orange walls.

Overview[]

In gameplay of Shadow the Hedgehog, firewalls appear exclusively in Digital Circuit and Mad Matrix. These walls appear only during the light-speed circuit sections, where they abruptly appear from below in front of the player to block their path. Impacting a firewall will damage the player. The firewalls can be avoided by taking an alternate path than the one they appeared on, though this often requires good reflexes.
