==Gameplay==
==游戏玩法==
[[File:Sonic Forces Speed Battle - Screenshot 04 1509622503.png|thumb|left|200px|[[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]] running in [[Celestial Skyway]], one of the many unlockable tracks in the game.]]
The gameplay of ''Sonic Forces: Speed Battle'' is very similar to that of ''[[Sonic Dash]]'' and ''[[Sonic Dash 2: Sonic Boom]]'', with a competition element from ''[[Sonic Rivals]]'' added to it. Instead of being an endless runner, it is a basic runner where players each choose a character and race against each other online in real-time on one of many finite tracks selected at random, based upon [[City]], [[Green Hill]], [[Sky Sanctuary]], [[Mystic Jungle]], [[Planet Wisp]], [[Golden Bay]], and [[Emerald City]]. During races, players can collect up to 100 Gold [[Ring]]s (which serve to increase their movement speed) and dodge obstacles as they progress to reach the goal (represented by the "[[Phantom Ruby prototype|Phantom Ruby Prototype]]"). Getting hit with any obstacles will cause the player to lose Rings and slow down momentarily. After a race, the players will keep the Rings they have collected.
While racing, the playable characters are always running forward automatically. At the same time, the players can use the [[Spin Jump]] and [[Slide]] moves to dodge obstacles and destroy enemies. They can also interact with other paths, normally utilizing [[Grind Rail]]s.
比赛结束后，玩家可以获得战斗[[Chest]]，这些箱子为特定角色提供一系列卡片。此外，第一和第二名获得的胜利箱子可以解锁以获得更大的奖励，如大量的Rings或多个角色的卡片。[[Red Star Ring]]作为一个高级货币，可以从Free Chests中获得或使用真实货币购买，可以用来购买额外的Rings，Chests或立即解锁已经获得的Victory Chests。每八小时玩家可以在“闪电交易”部分下的商店选项卡中找到一个Free Chest。玩家可以在在线排行榜上查看彼此的奖杯。
At the end of the race, players can earn Battle [[Chest]]s which grant a range of Cards to a particular character. In addition, the first and second place finishers receive a Victory Chest which can be unlocked to earn larger bonuses, such as a large number of Rings or Cards for multiple characters each. [[Red Star Ring]]s are featured as a premium currency which can be obtained from Free Chests or purchased using real money which can be used to purchase additional Rings, Chests or instantly unlock Victory Chests that are already acquired. A Free Chest is distributed to the player every eight hours and can be found in the Store tab, under the "Lightning Deals" section. Players can view each other's Trophies in the online leader boards.
Based on which position they finish the race in, players will then gain or lose [[Trophy|Trophies]], a numerical matchmaking ranking system akin to an [[Wikipedia:Elo rating system|Elo rating system]] in other competitive games. This matchmaking gameplay mechanic is part of the "Tier" system, which determines which courses the player can play on and the number of rewards the player can earn from Chests.
角色随着时间的推移通过收集每种稀有度所需的卡片数量解锁，它们被分为五种不同的稀有度：Common, Rare, Super Rare, Special, 和 Challenger（后两者只能在活动期间获得）。每个角色都有不同的Speed（玩家可以达到的最高速度）、Acceleration（玩家可以达到的最高速度的速度）和Strength（当他们因为对手或障碍物受到伤害时失去的速度）统计数据，以及可以从比赛过程中的[[Item Box]]获得的独特的道具选择。这些物品可以用于玩家自己的利益或反对他们的对手。
Characters are unlocked over time by collecting the enough number of Cards required per rarity, they are split into five different rarities: Common, Rare, Super Rare, Special, and Challenger (the latter two only being obtainable during events). Each character has different levels of Speed (the highest speed the player can reach), Acceleration (how fast the player can reach top speed), and Strength (how much speed they lose when taking damage from rivals or obstacles) stats, as well as an unique selection of power-ups that can be obtained from [[Item Box]]es along the racecourses. These items can be used for the players' own benefit or against their opponents.
Collecting enough Cards for a character after it was unlocked will allow the player to level it up using Gold Rings, which improves the racer's items and the number of Rings they start the race with.
By upgrading characters, players are awarded with [[Experience Point|XP]], which will increase their level:
When a player's level increases, their Ring Boost and Attack Resistance also increase. Ring Boost increases the maximum amount of speed the player can gain by collecting [[Ring]]s. The higher the player's Ring Boost is, the faster they can go. Attack Resistance, on the other hand, decreases the effect attacks from other players have on the player's character. The higher the player's Attack Resistance is, the greater the reduction will be.
Every 8 hours, players will be given a new random mission (up to three of which can be left uncompleted at a time) which awards Rings or Red Star Rings, and Cards for upgrading characters. These missions range from tasks such as "Destroy 30 [[Badnik]]s" to "Star Runner" missions, which require playing five races with a specific character.
Seasons are month-long events that take place in ''Sonic Forces: Speed Battle''. First unlocked in Tier 4, they can be entered by finishing a race in first place at least 3 times during that season and will award a Chest with a certain amount of cards at the end of the month, with the number of cards increasing the higher the player's Tier. Upon reaching the first prestige Tier (Tier 8) at 4000 [[Trophy|Trophies]], any Trophies earned past that number will be converted into Prestige points at the end of the season and reset back to 4000. These points are shown on a separate leader board, which only updates at the end of each season.
It is possible to make upgrades to the characters to improve their attributes and items when enough Cards have been collected. Each character can be upgraded a total of sixteen times. The rarity of a character determines how many Cards and Rings will be required to upgrade it to the next level, as well as how much XP the character will award.

It is unknown if it will be featured in the future.<ref>SonicWindBlue on Twitter: "@SparksEchidna Sorry for being the bringer of bad news, but "Cupid Tails" is in the files for a very long time now and a leftover from cancelled content. He's not planned for this year, unfortunately." / Twitter</ref>

*This game is the third time that [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]] and [[Super Sonic]] can appear on-screen together. The first and second time are ''[[Sonic Shuffle]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' respectively.

*Excluding transformations, the alternate versions of the characters from ''[[Sonic Prime]]'', and the film series characters, Amy currently has the most variants of herself included in the game, standing at seven different slots (Amy, All-Star Amy, Jingle Belle Amy, Paladin Amy, Popstar Amy, LEGO® Amy, and Panda Amy). Sonic has the second most slots at six (Sonic, Classic Sonic, Slugger Sonic, Elf Classic Sonic, Boscage Maze Sonic, and LEGO® Sonic), but this becomes even less when the Modern and Classic incarnations are separated.
Sonic Forces: Speed Battle was first in development in June 2016 after analyzing the latest capabilities of present-day phones.[2] It began as a prototype by Hardlight, checking if synchronous gameplay would work as well as they expected.[2][3] These early prototypes used existing tech and games as testing grounds for the gameplay, like Sonic Dash 2: Sonic Boom.[3] The game was originally planned for the Sonic Boom franchise, using the main cast of characters from Team Sonic.
From the beginning of the project, Hardlight wanted the game to have flexible levels for more expansive gameplay. For this, they developed a modular system that allowed them to create any track piece they wanted. Hardlight also wanted, right from the start, for the game to be a skill-based, global multiplayer. While relying on the classic staples in the Sonic series, branching paths on the tracks were added to make the game more exciting and unique. Extra care was also made to ensure the levels fit the mobile environment. During development, the staff focused on making the tracks feel appropriate before polishing their design.[4]
Hardlight pitched their idea to Sonic Team back in 2016 when the latter was looking for a mobile game. After discussing with Takashi Iizuka, the teams settled on what would become Sonic Forces: Speed Battle. Hardlight subsequently expanded their team while working on the environments and metagame. After being in development for about a year, Sonic Forces: Speed Battle received a soft launch so Hardlight could test the game and work out the remaining bugs before the global launch.[3] The game was scheduled to have three Zones with twelve tracks for its global launch, with more Zones being planned on being developed.[4] It was revealed on 16 March 2018 that Mystic Jungle would appear as a new Zone in an upcoming update.

According to Ric Cowley of Pocket Gamer, "Sonic Forces: Speed Battle is a lot of fun to play, though it's probably best off experienced in short bursts," while noting, "there's a ton of grinding before you open up new levels, and after the hundredth run on the same two stages, you might start to grow a little tired of the experience."[6]
Two weeks after its launch period, the iOS version of Sonic Forces: Speed Battle had gained 2 million downloads.[7] As of 16 March 2018, the game has over 12 million downloads.
