Sonic Dash Run — Sprint through fast 3D tracks, beat bosses, unlock characters, and enjoy the new Sonic Movie 3 update packed with fresh items and rewards.
Sonic Dash Run
Sonic Dash Run is a fast endless running game where you guide Sonic and friends through colorful worlds, tricky paths, and boss battles. The game mixes simple controls with high-speed action, letting you dodge obstacles, jump over gaps, collect rings, and score points as you race through classic Sonic zones. With the new movie-themed update, you can unlock special characters, join daily events, and collect items from the Sonic Movie 3 universe.
What makes Sonic Dash Run fun
The game delivers smooth speed, bright environments, and familiar Sonic-style action. Tracks are packed with loops, jumps, rails, and badniks. As you run, you move through famous zones like Green Hill, Beach, and Sky Sanctuary. Each zone looks different and has its own twists, from sandy paths to high platforms in the sky.
How to set up and start playing
Download and install
Get Sonic Dash Run from your device’s official store. Once installed, open the app and wait for the first load. The game may download extra data depending on your device.
Starting the game
The game opens with a short intro run. It teaches how to swipe left and right to dodge, swipe up to jump, and swipe down to roll. These are the main controls you will use in every run. Once you finish the tutorial, the main menu unlocks and you can select zones, characters, and events.
Daily events and movie update
During the Sonic Movie 3 update, you will find themed items on the track. Collect them to unlock rewards, characters, and event prizes. Check the event menu each day so you do not miss limited-time rewards.
Characters and upgrades
Unlocking characters
You can unlock characters by collecting cards, completing events, or opening rewards. Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Shadow, Amy, and many others are available. Each character feels slightly different, but all use the same simple controls, so switching between them is easy.
Upgrading your runner
Use rings earned from runs to upgrade abilities like magnet time, dash boost, shield duration, and score multipliers. Upgrades help you stay in runs longer and earn bigger scores. Always upgrade one ability at a time so you see clear progress.
Companion features
The game includes small creatures you can rescue and add to your personal zone. These are cosmetic and fun to collect, and they give extra goals to work on outside of running.
Zones and what to expect
Green Hill Zone
A classic Sonic track filled with loop de loops, bright grass, and easy paths. This is where beginners feel most comfortable as it has simple jumps and safe routes.
Beach Zone
A sunny area with sand paths and wide turns. Water hazards and moving objects make it more challenging, so be ready to act quickly.
Sky Sanctuary Zone
A floating area with narrow paths and aerial platforms. Watch your timing, because a wrong move can drop you off the track.
Boss battles
Dr. Eggman
Eggman attacks with missiles and lasers. Dodge his attacks, stay on the move, and hit him with a spin dash when the game gives you the chance.
Zazz
Zazz throws objects and jumps across the screen. Avoid his swings and wait for openings. These battles reward big points and help you progress faster.
Tips for smoother runs
Stay centered
When you are not collecting rings or avoiding danger, stay in the middle lane. It keeps your options open when obstacles appear suddenly.
Use dash wisely
Dash mode makes you invincible for a short time. Save it for busy areas or long stretches when obstacles are packed close together.
Collect rings
Rings help you upgrade abilities and unlock items. Try not to get hit, because you lose your rings when you take damage.
More than just running
Sonic Dash Run also lets you customize your own zone, save rescued animals, and explore side features beyond the main track. These extra activities give the game more depth and give you something to work on between runs.
