Characters

There are three playable characters in Sonic Robo Blast 2, as well as the non-playable antagonist Dr. Eggman. The three playable characters each have their own advantages and disadvantages, and end up balancing themselves up both in Single Player and in multiplayer gametypes. This article gives an overview over the default characters in SRB2. For an explanation of how custom characters are made, see the character WAD tutorial.

Sonic the Hedgehog


Sonic is the fastest of all three playable characters, but he is also the least versatile. His double-jump ability is the "Air Spin Attack", more commonly known as the "thok" due to the sound it makes. The thok gives the player a burst of speed, which is useful for clearing wide gaps and automatically giving acceleration. Because he cannot gain any height aside from jumping, some areas will be inaccessible to him, so he must find other routes around them. Due to his speed, Sonic is more difficult to control than the other characters, but when used correctly, he is able to move around a map very quickly.

Outside of Match and CTF, Sonic is also the only character who can transform into his Super form, Super Sonic, when he has seven Chaos Emeralds. Super Sonic is faster, invincible, can jump higher and float in the air after jumping.

Miles "Tails" Prower
Tails is the slowest of the three playable characters, but he possesses the very powerful flying ability, which allows him to clear long jumps, skip some obstacles and reach areas that no other character can reach. He is very easy to control due to his low speed and comfortable handling, making him ideal for the beginning player.

Knuckles the Echidna
Knuckles can be considered the "moderate" character of the three. While he is not as fast as Sonic, he is faster than Tails and is also easy to control. His double-jump ability is gliding, which allows him to scale large gaps. Gliding into a wall allows him to climb the wall, which makes him able to reach areas that Sonic cannot. He has a slightly lower jump height than Sonic and Tails, which makes him unable to reach. some areas and forces him to take other paths. Knuckles is also able to break crumbling rocks on contact, rather than spin-dashing into them. In Match and related game types, he can fire rings 1.5 times as fast as other characters, and even 2 times as fast in the case of the Automatic Ring and Grenade Ring.

Dr. Eggman
Dr. Eggman is the main antagonist of the Sonic the Hedgehog series and Sonic Robo Blast 2. Harnessing the power of a strange asteroid two months after his previous defeat, he begins his latest evil scheme by carving out Greenflower Mountain in his own maniacal image, forcing Sonic, Tails and Knuckles to take him on once more. He appears as a boss at the end of the first four zones, in which the player needs to defeat him and his invention before moving onto the next zone. He is the creator of all enemies the player faces in the main game, as well as secondary villain Metal Sonic.
