Starting the Game

To start playing Sonic CD Mobile, first launch the app on your mobile device. You’ll be taken to the main menu screen where you can select “Start Game” to begin.

On the character select screen, you can choose to play as Sonic, Tails, or Knuckles by tapping on their icon. Each character has slightly different abilities that affect gameplay.

Once you’ve selected your character, tap “OK” to enter the level select screen. Here you can choose which zone and stage to play through. The game features 7 zones with 3 acts (stages) each.

When ready, tap one of the stage icons to start playing. A short cutscene will play, then Sonic/your character will appear on screen and you’ll have control. Use the on-screen buttons or tilt controls to move Sonic and jump over obstacles and enemies.

The goal in each act is to make it to the end and defeat the end-of-level boss. Collect rings along the way, but avoid taking damage or you’ll lose your rings. Find item boxes and power-ups to help you.

When you complete an act, your score and time will be displayed. You can then proceed to the next act or zone. Have fun playing through the game!

Game Controls

Sonic CD Mobile uses a touchscreen control scheme optimized for mobile devices. To move Sonic left and right, you simply touch the left and right sides of the screen respectively. To make Sonic jump, tap the screen anywhere. Some other basic controls include:

• Tap the screen twice quickly to make Sonic perform a Spin Dash attack.
• Swipe down to make Sonic curl into a ball and roll faster.
• Swipe up to access the pause menu and options.

The controls are responsive and easy to learn. With some practice, players can pull off moves like the Super Peel Out start and utilize Sonic’s momentum for speed. However, some players find the virtual D-pad for movement too small and prone to mis-touches (Source). The jump button covers the majority of the screen real estate which can occasionally interfere with viewing the action.

Overall, the touch controls aim to adapt the classic Sonic gameplay to mobile in an intuitive way. While not as precise as a controller, they provide a smooth experience for on-the-go Sonic CD gameplay.
