Sonic Boom-themed game elements

Board

The Super Tax and Income Tax squares have the same function but are presented as "Bot Attack" (depicting Scrapheap Bot) and "Dr. Eggman" respectively. The four corner squares (Go, Jail, Free Parking and Go To Jail) are unchanged.

Pieces

The player tokens are modelled after Sonic's shoe, Tails' wrench, Amy's Hammer, Knuckles' fist, Sticks' Boomerang and Eggman's mustache. The currency is given no value, with each different denomination's note featuring a different character from the Sonic Boom franchise:

• 500: Team Sonic
• 100: Sonic the Hedgehog
• 50: Miles "Tails" Prower
• 20: Amy Rose
• 10: Knuckles the Echidna
• 5: Sticks the Badger
• 1: Dr. Eggman

The house tokens are yellow and the hotel tokens are blue, their colors being the only difference from those in the original Monopoly. The Chance cards are labelled "Let's Do This!" and feature Team Sonic, while the Community Chest cards are labelled "Village Chest" with a picture of Hedgehog Village from the Sonic Boom television series. All the actions, rewards and deductions awarded by the cards correspond to those from the original game, but are presented as more Sonic Boom television series-related events.
