Steam Trading Cards
Various Steam games have Steam Trading Cards that can be collected by playing certain games or by purchasing them on the platform. When they are all put together, the user receives a badge with XP points for their Steam account. A few Sonic games utilize this feature.
In the games themselves, the player can only receive a limited number of cards. The rest can be obtained randomly when purchased, exchanged with other users on the platform, or obtained from the community market. Collecting the entire set allows the player to destroy one of each type of card in order to obtain badges, emotes and profile backgrounds.
