Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Ashuro different from Sonic?
Ashuro trades raw speed for precision platforming – he can wall-jump, hover briefly, and use environment-specific abilities Sonic can’t access, encouraging replayability.

How do I access special stages?
Find hidden giant rings in regular levels after collecting 50+ rings. New REV01 4.05 adds warp portals that require both characters’ abilities to unlock.

Why do I keep losing momentum on slopes?
REV01 4.05 introduced physics tweaks – release the directional input before jumping for optimal speed retention, and use Ashuro’s hover to correct landings on steep angles.
