Play Sonic Rush Adventure (eu) Online

Sonic Rush Adventure came out for the Nintendo DS in 2007, developed by Sonic Team and published by Sega. It arrived when the DS was full of creative games using both screens, and this one felt like a natural part of that era, a solid entry for anyone with a need for speed in their pocket.

You primarily control Sonic or Blaze, racing through side scrolling stages filled with loops, ramps, and bottomless pits. Your main goal is to explore a new oceanic world, gathering materials to build a fleet of ships that let you travel to new islands on the world map. Signature mechanics include using the bottom screen for special tricks to build your boost meter, and engaging in boss fights that often take place on the water with your custom vessels. The pacing is relentlessly fast, demanding quick reflexes, especially during the tricky platforming sections and the special stages that use the DS's stylus. It feels like a constant, exhilarating race against the level itself.
