The Jet Board[1] (スノーボード[2] Sunōbōdo?, lit. "Snowboard"), also known as the Snowboard,[3] is a monitor power-up that appears in Sonic the Hedgehog Triple Trouble. When obtained, it grants the player a snowboard.
Description[]
The monitors with Jet Board feature an oval, blue and white snowboard on their screens.
Overview[]
In gameplay, the Jet Boards only appear in Robotnik Winter Zone when the player is using Sonic as their playable character. When Sonic breaks open a Jet Board Monitor, Sonic will receive a Snowboard that allows him to zip down the paths in the Acts at high speed. During this time, the player can press / to jump. The Jet Board lasts until Sonic collides with an object, takes damage or falls into a hole. The player can also cancel the Jet Board by pressing / while in midair.
Because the Jet Board does not appear during Tails' playthrough, all the Jet Boards are replaced with the Hyper Heli-Tails in Tails' edition of Robotnik Winter Zone.
Trivia[]
- In an early promotional screenshot for Sonic the Hedgehog Triple Trouble, Sonic is shown using the Jet Board to surf across the water in Great Turquoise Zone despite the final game only featuring the board in Robotnik Winter Zone, with it functioning as a snowboard instead of a surfboard.
