Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal delivers an all‑new adventure for the Nintendo 3DS set in the Sonic Boom universe. When the villainous serpent Lyric kidnaps Amy Rose as part of his plan to unlock the power of an ancient crystal, Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and newcomer Sticks set out across a series of fast, exploration‑heavy levels to rescue her and foil Lyric’s scheme.

Unlike traditional Sonic games focused solely on high‑speed running, Shattered Crystal blends speed with Metroidvania‑style exploration, puzzles, and character‑specific abilities. Players switch between characters to access hidden areas—Sonic uses air dashes, Tails takes flight with his gadgets, Knuckles drills underground, and Sticks uses her boomerang to retrieve distant items and hit switches.

Each level encourages exploration, replayability, and collecting hidden shards and items to progress the story. With colorful visuals, smooth platforming, and a variety of level types—including speed runs, tunnels, boss fights, and challenge rooms—Shattered Crystal offers a more discovery‑driven Sonic experience tailored for handheld play.
