Sonic Speed Simulator, also known as Sonic Speed Simulator Reborn, is a multiplayer online game in the Sonic the Hedgehog series developed by Gamefam and licensed by Sega. It is freely available as an experience on Roblox. It was initially released on 30 March 2022 as a paid beta, and then later released publicly for free on 16 April.[1] The game is actively updated every Friday, while larger updates release on Saturdays, with special updates being initially released after milestones are reached—usually involving a set number of likes.[2]
Sonic Speed Simulator is a 3D, third person incremental platformer game that features 15 open worlds and over 200 playable characters. The player's Roblox avatar is automatically unlocked, but Sonic the Hedgehog is your starting character. By completing quests, events, redeeming codes, purchasing them for currencies such as Red Star Rings or Robux, hatching them via Golden Eggs or completing the Fast Pass, you can unlock specific characters from the Sonic the Hedgehog series, such as Knuckles the Echidna, Silver the Hedgehog, Miles "Tails" Prower and Amy Rose, along with reskins/variations of them. In vain to Sonic Adventure 2, all playable characters share the same move set, such as the Spin Jump, Spin Attack (referred to as the "Spin Dash"), Spin Dash (referred to as the "Spin Dash Charge"), Jump Dash, Homing Attack, Drop Dash, and Boost. However, some characters have special abilities, like Chaos Snap or Chaos Blast.
This game is mainly focused about traversing through the countless zones at a high momentum, while upgrading your characters' star level and unlocking many of their hidden abilities. Unique to this game, the player can find the main XP used in this game, Chaos Orbs. Chaos Orbs can be found in many different colors such as white or red, and spawns in every zone. When collected, the player's level would go up due to the orbs giving Experience Points. XP can also be collected through the completion of Quests or hopping through a Sky Ring. Gathering enough XP will increase many primary attributes, such as:
Speed: This stat determines how fast the player can go at maximum. Speed starts out at an all-time low but gets exponentially higher as the player progresses into the game. At these speeds, the player will have less trouble going through loops, launching themselves from point a to point b and running along walls. Speed also affects how fast the Spin Dash can send you. At the very left of the screen, there is a speed and energy bar which determines how fast you're going in miles per hour (MPH). The capped amount of speed is at 800, but can be raised thanks to the Speed stat, which is exclusive to the You pet and the Sanic Trail.
Power: Power determines how high you can jump with any equipped character. Power is capped at 68 and helps out players to reach for Sky Rings and many higher parts of the word, it's a good way to get more altitude. With the combination of Speed and Power, and a well-timed Spin Dash, the player can reach heights they had never achieved.
When levelling up, the maximum XP cap increases by a bit for the next level and a small text portion will be appearing on the HUD that tells of the player's exact parameter values, before scrolling up and off the screen. The latter feature can be disabled in the settings. Both Speed and Power can manually be lowered down to your choice of how strong you want them to be in the settings. This changes how the stat affects you by the percentage that's been set and does not mimic the previous level's statistics. The level cap feature has been removed since the rebirth of the game.
At any chosen point after you have achieved level 100, the players get the option to Rebirth, which brings them back down to level 1 and lowers their speed, but in return, they are granted Skill Pieces, which increase the better the level you rebirth at. Skill Pieces can be used to purchase permanent upgrades to help max out your game experience, such as multipliers for Rings and XP collected and an increase of Damage against bosses. The amount of Skill Pieces required to upgrade a stat increases every time the player upgrades it.
Rings are also commonly found throughout all the zones and can be obtained through stuff like main quests and so on. Rings can open Chao Vending Machines and also portals to the next zone, they can also provide upgrades to your chao or trail. Chao and Trail upgraded can increase the amount of rings and XP you get per pick up and also can give you special stats such as more damage, Magnet, Luck, Stamina, Event and so on.
Falling into the aforementioned pets category is Chao. The player can both buy Chao from vending machines, earn them during certain events after meeting specific conditions, or receive them as a reward from Quests. There are several types of Chao in the game, each with different attributes. These include the classification of their rarity when obtained from vending machines, which range between "Common", "Uncommon", "Rare", "Epic", "Legendary", "Exotic" and "Special", as well as the benefits they grant when equipped, which involving boosting the amount of XPs and Rings earned when the corresponding item is collected. Certain Chao will even provide other bonuses such as a small magnetism effect. The player can equip the playable character with three of any Chao. The player can carry up to eighty Chao by default (a trait shared with trails), although that limit can be expanded through in-game purchases. Chao and Tails earned from Quests, however, ignore this limit, potentially pushing the player past maximum capacity. In addition, the player can evolve a Chao or trail if they collect five of the same type and bring them to the Fusion Machine. Evolved Chao/trails gives greater bonuses; five times that of an unevolved Chao/trail of the same type. Players can also increase the level of a Chao and trails by bringing them to the Upgrade Machine. Depending on the Chao/trail and level, levelling up a Chao/trail will cost Rings, Red Star Rings, or both.
There is also an in-game Shop, where the player can buy stuff such as game passes, which help boost stuff such as rings, EXP or Magnet, or can give buffs like 2 more pet slots or an infinite magnet which draws everything closer to you forever, with a setting to turn it off. There are also passes that can give you double the levels, double the Skill Pieces, a pass that can allow you to open 3 eggs at once at a vending machine and a pass that gives you all the music that is in the game. In addition, the player can purchase Sonic-themed accessories and clothing (commonly known as UGC) for their Roblox avatar in a shop nearby the starting point in Green Hill. This stand is near the dock where Big fishes.
Inside the large open Worlds, Sonic Speed Simulator features Time Trials. Completing Time Trials allows the player to obtain rewards based on their time, scoring with either a bronze, silver, or gold medal. Each world also has two NPCs in it which will provide the player with quests when interacted with, given all their quests have not been completed by the player. The first NPC gives the player quests relating to general objectives in the world, while the second NPC only gives quests relating to Time Trials. Both NPCs will provide the player with a variety of rewards for completing their quests, such as Rings, XP, Red Star Rings and Gate keys. Completing all the quests of the first NPC will award the player with a new character to play as, usually the giver of the quest.
To unlock new worlds, the player must collect 6 of the world's associated Gate keys, which can be acquired by completing Quests in the previous world. Collecting 6 keys will allow the player to unlock portals to the next world in progression.
There are also cyclical events in the game where the player can earn rewards, such as new characters and Chao and trails, by completing certain objectives or buy them with Robux. During the first, "Scavenger Hunt Event" for example, character card fragments would appear in certain worlds every now and then for five minutes. Collecting 100 cards unlocked "Sailor Tails" as a playable character.
The player can play on public servers with other Roblox users or create a private server for themselves and add people to it as their friends. The price of a private server is 99 Robux.
When reborn had initially released, it had a quest feature tied in to unlocking zones, which has main characters from the cast give the player a series of quests, which could grant rewards such as XP, Chao, Rings and Gate Keys. Some limited time/persistent events also utilized this system, such as the Ninja Espio and Vector events.
However, as of the Quest Overhaul + Golden Eggs wave 2 update, as suggested, the quest system was given a complete overhaul, with 1 'Main Quest' to complete every world, which helps unlock a character and features like Fast Friends.
Adventures[]
After the player completed the major quest line given by any of the main 4 zone quest givers or Dodon Pa, a new feature gets unlocked called Adventures. Adventures were repeatable quests that could be redone every 4 hours, and every time has a randomized set of quests. Adventures were a primary way of obtaining XP, Rings, Red Star Rings, Boosts and most importantly, extra Spin Wheel spins.
This feature was removed during the main quest update, but was technically re-added during the third fast pass, renamed as 'Challenges.' We do know they are still coming soon, as the Adventure segment in the HELP menu has not had any changes since the removal of Adventures.
The Spin wheel is a feature in the game that the player can use after certain requirements such as completing obbies/races like Metal Madness or Tornado Assault before Shock. During the Omega Update, the spinner was added as a way to get skins, with skins such as Riders Shadow, Shadow Android Pink and Shadow Android Blue being introduced in it. To get spins, you can get a free one every 4 hours, which you do not need to be in game for it to count down, Adventures granted spins at rare chances or spending Robux. There are also wheels for beating boss fights, where Riders Vector was introduced, and still is in to this day.
The Legendary Spinner was added at the same time the Tornado 2 made its introduction into the game. The spinner is harder and more expensive to get spins for but offers high quality rewards.
Daily Challenges (Legacy)[]
Pre-Shock had introduced the Daily Challenges, which they could do every 24 hours by completing certain quests to get extra awards. These would swap around roughly every two weeks. However, after Shock, these challenges were sadly removed, the previous series of daily challenges are as follows:
Classic Pink Rose Hoverboard: Finish Diamond Terminal Time Trials 10 times.
Challenges (Reborn)[]
Challenges were re-added during the 2.101 update, and are similar in concept to Adventures, but apply to all 13 Worlds with a Main Quest, being separated into groups of 5 in terms of rewards and cooldowns. They give extra tickets for the Fast Pass.
Worlds 1-5: 150/250 Season Tickets, 1 Hour Cooldown
Worlds 1-10: 300/500 Season Tickets, 4 Hour Cooldown
Worlds 1-15: 500/900 Season Tickets: 12 Hour Cooldown
Daily Rewards (Reborn)[]
In the 2.23 update, the mechanic of Daily Rewards was added, being similar to the Daily Challenges of the past, but not requiring any task completion, and just logging in every twelve hours. They were occasionally updated. Sometimes, there were multiple weeks of rewards in one series. If the player finished all the sets currently in the game, it would repeat the most recent one. Any one time rewards like Skins or Mounts that the player already owns have to be skipped over.
This set of Daily Rewards was added on 13 April 2024. It had an unlockable Riders Tails and Gold Style Omega skin.

Golden Eggs[]
Main article: Golden Egg
The Golden Egg system is a typically monthly event that started during the 2.80 update. When the player walks a set amount of steps, they can open a Golden Egg and get a random drop, which can include skins that come in limited quantities. They may also bypass the step requirement and purchase them directly, with better rewards in the premium eggs. When the player reaches 150 free eggs opened, they get to open 3 bonus premium eggs at no cost.
In certain countries, the mechanic is restricted to only allow the opening of free eggs, in compliance with Roblox ToS and international laws regarding gacha mechanics. The bonus eggs are still available in these countries.
The Fast Pass system is a typically monthly event that started during the 2.92 update. Whenever the player completes certain milestones, like collecting Candy or Season Tickets, they can get rewards going all the way up to Level 30. Most of the newly added character skins are typically placed on the Free track, but people can spend Robux to unlock a premium track, with extra rewards to gain.
Clubs[]
Main article: Club
The Club system was implemented during the 2.132 update. It allows the player to create and join collaborative groups, where everyone is able to contribute by collecting 15,000 Chaos Orbs in a day. This can be sped up to 7,500 Chaos Orbs if a ROBLOX friend is in the server with you. Contributing unlocks up to 40 unique rewards including a exclusive VIP Sonic skin. You also collect Club Coins which can be used to purchase Vibes from a shop.
Mega Eggs[]
Main article: Mega Eggs
The Mega Eggs (formerly known as Mystery Chests) system was implemented during the 2.140 update. After a direct purchase with either Red Star Rings or Robux, the player can open a Mega Egg / Mystery Chest and get a random drop, which can include skins. The Red Star Ring option can only be done once every 12 hours.
In certain countries, this mechanic is completely invisible and can't be interacted with, in compliance with Roblox ToS and international laws regarding gacha mechanics.
The Codex system was implemented during the 2.157 update as a way to keep track of a players owned characters. Each character shows up on a list with information on how to obtain them, whether it be through completing a persistent event, or trading with other players. A skin doesn't need to stay in a players inventory to remain registered in the Codex. When reaching certain milestones of total characters, or completing a collection of themed characters, the player will get rewarded with a SIM skin.
Every 24 hours, the daily collection refreshes, where the game will randomly pick 5 characters from a large pool, and task the player with registering them. As a prize, the player will be gifted a 6th random skin.
According to producer Brendan O'Brien, the game was developed for three months prior to its release.[3]
On 17 May 2022, it was announced by Gamefam that Nibroc.Rock had been brought onboard for Sonic Speed Simulator in order to further develop 3D models for the game.[4]
Promotional[]
Sonic Speed Simulator was initially released as a paid beta, which was accessible through a payment of fifty Robux. Players who participated received a free Knuckles Chao pet.
Some updates are promoted with ads displayed on the Roblox website, alongside being promoted in Sonic Official livestreams and Sonic Central presentations.
Soundtrack[]
Rather than producing an original soundtrack, Sonic Speed Simulator makes use of previous soundtracks from the Sonic series.
"Battle of the Bands Encore: Team Rouge", "Rockstar Fast Pass"
Music Player[]
In the 2.69 update, the Music Player was added, and has 42 tracks from across the series that can be played at any time, most being reused from prior content for the game, but a handful of new tracks were added. New music notes have periodically been made available.
On 7 May 2022, several badges were added to Sonic Speed Simulator. Badges were occasionally added until the 31 August 2024 update, where new designs for badges were added, alongside plenty of new ones. A menu ingame was also added during the 14 September 2024 update, with the ability to unlock the "Elite Sonic" skin for collecting at least 90% of the badges. These are the menu badges for Sonic Speed Simulator:

Data Wipe[]
In February 2023, Sonic Speed Simulator was renamed to "Sonic Speed Simulator Reborn". In the opening and loading screens. In addition to the name change, all player data was completely wiped, with all players losing all their progress upon start after being greeted with an opening cutscene. Later, the name was reverted to normal, with all mentions of the Reborn name being wiped from the game, although it is still used in the Sonic Official livestreams.
Easter Sonic's render is possibly a reference to artwork created for Sonic Generations. It could also be a reference to concept art of Feels the Rabbit, Sonic's prototype design.
Several character skins, artwork and animations are based on Sonic Channel and other assorted Sonic related media.
The "Chef Amy" skin is based on an outfit Amy wore in a piece of artwork from Sonic Channel.
The "Camper Knuckles" skin originates from the September 2016 Sonic Channel artwork.
One of the Halloween icons that features Vampire Sonic for the game is based on previous Halloween artwork from Sonic Channel.
Blaze's spawn-in pose is based off a piece of artwork from Sonic Channel.
One of Silver's idle animations is possibly a reference to a piece of artwork from Sonic Channel.
Blaze's maid outfit is a reference to her August Otherworld Comedy outfit, where she is a magical princess dressed as a maid to go undercover.
Blaze's 2024 Valentines Magical Girl outfit is based off of her February Otherworld Comedy outfit.
Holiday Cheer Sonic, Winter Cream, Holiday Cheer Blaze, Holiday Cheer Silver and Winter Shadow are all based on Sonic Channel artwork.
During the "Pixel Hunt" event, Amy was given a trick animation that references artwork created by Sonic channel for Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity's 14th anniversary.
Easter Sonic, somewhat ironically, is based off Lunar New Years artwork from Sonic Channel in 2023.
The glasses of the updated Riders Amy skin received during the "Stormy Feathers" event are based off the glasses given to her in The RI Cover of Sonic the Hedgehog #69 by IDW Publishing.
The "Summer Sonic" skin is wearing the bracelet Amy gave Sonic in the episode "The Last Resort" from the Sonic X anime series. Also, the shirt he is wearing is the same one he is shown wearing in an old Joypolis plush, the glasses he wears are the same one Sonic wears on the ending screen of his story in Sonic Adventure, and the shoes he wears are the Light Speed Shoes from the same game.
Summer Cream's outfit also originates from Sonic X.
The classic characters have the sound effects based on the classic games, including the iconic jump sound. The sound of springs being used is also altered to use the classic sound effect.
Adventure style characters and Shadow and his variations have their sound effects taken from the Adventure games.
Characters introduced in the "modern" eras, such as Blaze, Silver and the modern interpretations of the main cast, have the current sound effects, as does any new character or reskin added who does not fit in with the adventure or classic series.
During the "Summer" Event, on the tables under the tent, there are cans of Chaos Cola and Chaos Soda on every table. Also, the tables on the outside of the tent are the same ones from the ending screen of Sonic Adventure.
During the "Enchanting" update, Metal Sonic was seen floating on top of the tent.
During the "Birthday Bash Event!", under the bridge in Green Hill, there is a secret message that reads "Santiago is GONE..." This is a reference to a popular joke among fans that the Classic Sonic from Sonic Generations and Sonic Forces is not the same character as the Classic Sonic in the Sega Mega Drive games, and is instead a villainous character named "Santiago". Under this there is a picture of glasses that look very similar to glasses that the character Kamina wears from the anime Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. This was later removed.
On the side of the Chemical Plant portal in Green Hill, there is a piece of artwork of Dr. Eggman from Sonic Colors. This image could also be seen on the wall above and to the back of it, by the Lost Valley portal, and on the side of a rock by the waterfall. These were later removed.
The "Mechanic Tails" skin is based on a similar outfit that Tails wore in IDW Publishing's Sonic the Hedgehog #42.
The sphere that Froggy and Pocky are in when equipped is inspired by the spheres surrounding animals in Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure 2.
Classic Tails being frozen in time during the "Save Classic Tails" Event is a reference to characters being frozen in time in Sonic Generations.
The "Angler Big" skin wears the Life Belt, originating from Sonic Adventure. His celebratory animation also originates from Sonic Adventure, when he catches Froggy. This life belt also allows him to float in water-filled worlds such as No Place.
When Classic Sonic is chosen as the playable character, he enters the stage mimicking the pose he performs at the end of the ending cutscene of Sonic the Hedgehog CD.
In Metal City Skatepark, if one is fast enough to get on top of the giant Riders Tower, they can find Froggy on top.
On the bottom of Summer Sonic's shoes, it says "Sonic Adventure" in cursive.
A golden Sonic statue in Green Hill.
In Legacy, throughout the game, there were several golden Sonic statues that the player could find, these appeared in Green Hill, Pumpkin Hill, Green Hill Race and Emerald Hill race, the latter of which is holding a chili dog. The Green Hill statue was later moved to the middle of the spawn location in the Sonic Speed Simulator: Reborn update.
Android Shadow's pose on the artwork for his event is based on a pose from a piece of Shadow Android fan artwork by DeviantArt user "ShadowLifeman".[5]
Two of Grind Shoe Sonic's idle animations are references to Sonic's idle animations from Sonic Adventure 2.
One of Shadow's idle animations has him re-align his spines while hanging his head down slightly. This is a recreation of one of Shadow's idle animations from Sonic Heroes.
Blaze has an idle animation that is similar to one she had in Sonic the Hedgehog (2006), albeit the fact it has been extended.
Blaze does not use the traditional Spin Jump or Spin Dash, instead her Spin Jump is based off the Axel Jump and her Spin Dash alterative is the Spinning Claw.
Blaze's charging animation for the Spinning Claw appears identical to the one used for her Burst Dash in Sonic Rush.
Several of Silver's animations and stances reference previous games and media:
Silver's idle stand, and his normal run, fall, and boost animations are all based off animations he had in Sonic the Hedgehog (2006).
The Boost animation is based off off the animation used for the Teleport Dash.
His normal run animation is based on the clenched fist jog Silver uses in his debut game.
The idle animation of Silver fixing his gloves is based off an idle animation he's had across several games such as Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) and Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games. The one in Sonic Speed Simulator seems based on his Sonic Generations version as he places his hand on his hip as he returns to idle, like he does in that game.
During his story quest, one of Silver's lines is "We don't have the luxury of time." - possibly an allusion to his line "Despair is a luxury we don't have." from Sonic Forces.
In a similar vein, Silver telling the player to never give up harkens back to his End of the World quote - "I'll never give up, lets go!" - from Sonic the Hedgehog (2006).
The first icon used for the "Super Sonic" event is a direct reference to the Super Sonic transformation sequence from Sonic Rush.
His other idle animation is also a reference to an idle animation Super Sonic has in Sonic Mania.
Super Sonic also features the unique ability to fly with his boost. This is true of the other "Super" types in the game; Neo Metal Sonic and ESP Silver.
He is also the first 'Super' rarity character in the game.
He is also impervious to knockback from low-level Badniks and can destroy them by running into them, like the hoverboards.
Super Sonic, Neo Metal Sonic, the Roblox avatar with Series Knuckles's hat, and ESP Silver can parry attacks from enemies.
When unlocking Super Sonic, he will tell the player, "It's time to take out the trash... SUPER SONIC STYLE!" A direct reference to his line, "It's time to scramble some Eggmen... SUPER SONIC STYLE!" from Sonic Generations.
It is also only the second Sonic game where he is actively featured, having previously only been mentioned or cameoed in both Sonic Rivals and Sonic Frontiers, outside his debut in Sonic Heroes, previously.
Both Racesuit Omega and Gold Style Silver are based on versions of their cars from Team Sonic Racing.
Omega's is based on concept artwork of the Cross Dozer, which can be achieved in game through Performance Parts.
Silver's is based on the golden versions of the Lightron, unlocked through Performance Parts.
Blaze and Silver are the first characters who did not appear in Sonic Adventure 2 to have both a Fast Friend and Chao based on them. Both the Blaze Chao and Toy Robot Silver were released at the same time.
Silver flapping his back quills due to using Rouge's idle animations.
In the race shop display podium, for the first week of his addition, Racesuit Silver had Rouge's idle animations. This was fixed in the update the following weekend.
Due to this fact, since Silver doesn't have wings like Rouge, his back quills humorously flap instead.
Racesuit Blaze's Original outfit did not match her race shop render. It featured a two piece race outfit with Blaze's name embroidered on the front. This was fixed shortly thereafter to match her race shop render.
Despite the fact that the event was called "Steampunk Hedgehogs:, Sonic was the only hedgehog to feature in the event (with Knuckles being an echidna). It is unknown if this is due to the fact that there is a Steampunk-style Shadow, known as "Clockwork Shadow", who was unreleased at the time, or whether it was a mistake.
Clockwork Shadow did later get added to the game but in his own event, known as "Grinding Gears".
Mummy Espio, Ninja Espio, Flame Shadow, Racesuit Silver and Circuit Metal Sonic are all based on outfits that appeared in Sonic Rivals 2.
While Sonic is given the Zebra outfit in this game, the Zebra and Cheetah outfits given to Zebra Sonic and Cheetah Shadow are based on Sonic and Tails' matching Cheetah Sonic and Zebra Tails outfits from Rivals 2.
When asked about the potential similarities between Royal King Shadow and King Shadow from the Archie Comics series, one of the lead designers for the game, Strike, denied any intentional connections due to both "legal issues and creative design choices".
Due to the same reasons, Archie comic characters and designs are unlikely to be used.
If a player wins a character that they already have from the spin wheel, it will still announce in chat that they unlocked said character, even if they actually received the XP, Ring and Race Ticket boosts that are given as a replacement prize for such an event.
The banner for when a challenger appears in a race will block any UI elements below it from being interacted with until it disappears.
Racesuit Metal Sonic's design bears some resemblance to Neo Metal Sonic.
If a player's Race Ticket Boost runs out before they receive their tickets, it will not take effect, even if it is still active by the time they finish the race.
When the pop-up text about magnets in Auto-Run mode is clicked on, it switches to different text as it disappears. This text reads: "Did you see this at runtime ? WHY !? I was shure you would not !"
This marks the first time IDW Publishing exclusive transformations have been in a Sonic game. With those being Super Neo Metal Sonic and the Phantom Rider, although the Phantom Rider is the only playable skin of the two.
Related to IDW Publishing exclusives, this also marks the first time a location from the comics has been in a Sonic game, being Autumn Forest Zone.
While every other Surf Hoverboard has stars around the featured character's name, Espio's are replaced by Shuriken stars.
