Sonic Speed Simulator
An Eggman Key, from Sonic Speed Simulator .
In Sonic Speed Simulator , the Gate keys are referred to as the Eggman Keys [2] and secret keys . In this game, they can be found in every world of the game. Accordingly, the Eggman Keys were originally in Knuckles ' possession, but by freeing Amy from her crystal prison during "Save Amy Event ", it created a blast that scattered the Eggman Keys all over the worlds.[3]
In gameplay, the Eggman Keys are objects that spawn at random in random worlds during the "Treasure Hunt Event", where collecting thirty of them will unlock the Knuckles Chao and contribute to the unlocking of Treasure Hunter Knuckles as a playable character. Eggman Keys appear in irregular intervals in a specific world in the game. In addition, they are hidden in well-covered places, like amidst tall plants, behind structures, underneath roads, inside tree crowns, etc. After spawning, the player will have seven minutes to collect as many Eggman Keys as possible before they disappear. When an Eggman Key has been found, the player can touch it in order to collect it. When collected, a gauge will then appear on the left side of the HUD that shows how many Eggman Keys the player has left to collect before unlocking the Knuckles Chao.
If the player collects the required amount of Eggman Keys, they will not spawn anymore. However, players who do not have the required amount still have a chance to collect them.
