In a similar vein to Sonic Adventure 2, all the playable characters share a plethora of moves such as the Spin Jump, Spin Attack (referred to as the "Spin Dash"), Spin Dash (referred to as the "Spin Dash Charge"), Jump Dash, Homing Attack, Drop Dash, and Boost. The player's Roblox avatar is unlocked by default, but by completing Quests, collecting cards, redeeming codes, purchasing or meeting requirements during specific events, the player can unlock additional characters from the Sonic series, such as Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, and several variations of them. Sonic Speed Simulator is a 3D, third-person incremental platformer game that features open worlds and multiple playable characters.
