Place a Zap Trap in front of one of your rivals. This shocking cloud will zap one of their items!


— Description, Sonic Forces: Speed Battle

The Zap Trap is an Item Box power-up that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is a Trap Item used primarily to obstruct opposing rivals' path.

Description[]

The Zap Trap's icon takes the form of a black thundercloud with an arching yellow arrow on top of it sending a yellow lightning bolt crashing down below it. In gameplay, this power-up becomes a gray thundercloud that constantly emits purple lightning.

Overview[]

In gameplay, the Zap Trap can only be obtained at random from Item Boxes by Movie Sonic, Movie Super Sonic, Storm and Chrono Silver. As with most other Items, Metal Sonic and Metal Sonic Mach 3.0 can also use the Zap Trap if they use the Steal Item, or Fortune Teller Amy if she uses Lucky Draw or Wall of Cards to steal it from the aforementioned users.

Once obtained, the player can utilize the Zap Trap by pressing its icon on the bottom of the HUD. When used, this power-up's thundercloud will target at leading or behind rivals. If a character, including the user themselves, touches the lightning emitted by the thundercloud, they will be stunned, thus causing them to lose Rings and stop moving for a moment, and lose one random power-up in their inventory slots on the HUD. To avoid the Zap Trap, the playable character must either slide underneath its storm cloud or get out of its lane.

The Zap Trap can also be upgraded by leveling the user up to level 4, 10 and 16 respectively. When the user is upgraded to level 4 and 10, the Zap Trap will target more rivals, and when the user is upgraded to level 16, the player will increase the damage dealt with the Zap Trap.
