The Shockwave is an Item Box power-up that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is a Projectile Item used primarily to attack rivals.

Description[]

In gameplay, the Shockwave can only be obtained at random from Item Boxes by Red. As with most other Items, Metal Sonic can also use the Shockwave if he uses the Steal power-up to steal it from the aforementioned user.

Once obtained, the player can utilize the Shockwave by pressing its icon on the bottom of the HUD. When used, the user tosses the Shockwave that appear white bullet leaving a red trail. It will be disabled if it collides rivals, Badniks, obstacles or it wears off. If the rival character collides the Shockwave, they will take damage that lose Rings and slow down momentarily.
