Game appearances
Sonic Lost World
In the Wii U version, PC version and Nintendo 3DS version of Sonic Lost World, UFOs are small remote control vehicles created by Miles "Tails" Prower to aid Sonic throughout his journey. In gameplay, they are useful for more precise platforming. When activated, UFO RC Vehicles will lower the effects gravity has on Sonic for about ten seconds, thereby slowing down his jumps. After being used for that time (or if the player does not jump), the UFO RC Vehicle will disappear.
Like all other RC Vehicles, they come in five different varieties. The variants of UFO RC Vehicles are mostly based on fruits. The Materials needed to craft each one can be found below:
