The Sonic the Hedgehog experience has always been a platform design that more focused on running blazingly fast through the environments. Sonic Rush adds a "boost" element where players can now counterattack enemies waiting in off-screen blindspots. This boosting element is limited, and players will have to build up the power in order to use it, but when it's in stock it becomes incredibly handy and almost necessary to utilize. The new design also introduces a very "extreme games" style move system where players can pull off special moves to score additional points and to boost power. These moves can be pulled off with button and D-pad combinations while leaping in the air as well as grinding on some rails. And, of course, there's the dual screen aspect. The development team use the two screens as one display to give more of a viewable area.
