The junction switch[2] is a gimmick that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is a type of rail switch for changing the traveling path of the President's escape pod.
Description
Overview
In Shadow the Hedgehog, junction switches appear at the junction points in the Air Fleet. As the President's escape pod is being conveyed through the Stage on a monorail track, the player can use the junction switch to change the escape pod's course. The escape pod's course depends on which way the junction switch faces. The player can change the junction switch's direction by shooting it with a weapon.
The way the escape pod goes depends on which way this switch faces, which will cause the escape pod to either be in the player's attack range for a short or long amount of time. When the junction switch glows blue, the path the escape pod will take is favorable to the Hero mission. If it glows red instead, the path the escape pod will take is favorable to the Dark mission.
