Trivia[]

  • In real life, parkour is a sport that involves people performing tricks, usually in dangerous situations, (for example, performing a front-flip from one roof to the roof of a lower building, followed by a roll) all to keep one's speed and momentum.
  • If parkour is used to climb walls for an extensive amount of time in the Nintendo 3DS version of Sonic Lost World, the user begins to sweat.
  • According to an interview with Takashi Iizuka during Summer of Sonic 2013, parkour might possibly not be used in future Sonic games due to the moveset being specifically designed for Sonic Lost World.[2]

Moving forwards, we’re not really intended on keeping parkour but that’s not set in stone. We’re just not planning on it being in the future games right now."
