Hints hints and tips for Sonic Dash

Hints

Invincible

Fill the meter on the right hand of the screen by collecting Gold rings. When the meter is full just tap the 'virtual' button to perform Sonic's dash move which makes him temporarily invincible.

Bridges

When you encounter bridges you have the option of either jumping over them or sliding underneath. If you come across three bridges one after the other it is easer to slide underneath them all by rapidly swiping downwards than it is to jump and go into a quick roll.

Energy

Your energy is always depleting so you must keep an eye on the Dash meter as sonic will be susceptible to enemies and objects when it runs out.

Spikes

Whenever Sonic runs into crabs or lands atop spiked enemies he will lose his Gold Rings. Sonic will continue running but if you want him to survive you need to make sure you find some more Gold rings quickly.

Direction

It is possible to change direction in mid-air by swiping left or right in the direction you want to go. Use this ability to avoid falling into pits.

Destroy Enemies

Swiping down will make Sonic roll, his roll can be used to destroy enemies.

Alive

The object of the game is to survive so don't try and collect every single Gold Ring you come across.

Free Gold Rings

You can earn free Gold rings by clicking the shopping cart icon followed by the gift icon and watching sponsored videos, registering a Sega ID, following Sega on Twitter and liking the publisher on Facebook.

In-Game Missions

You can earn red star rings by completing in-game missions, to view the current list of missions just pause the game.

Revive Tokens

If you are willing to part with Red Star rings you can always continue the game by using them to buy Revive tokens.

Homing Attack

If Sonic encounters robotic fish blocking his path press the on-screen prompt while jumping to unleash his homing attack which will destroy them.

Upgrades

To make upgrades at the store you will have to spend Gold coins. These upgrades include boosting the effectiveness of Sonic's magnet, Head Start, Dash Boost and Dash Fill Rate. The first upgrade you should get is the magnet as it will help you collect more rings which will enable you buy the other rings upgrades quicker.

Red Star Rings

Other characters can be unlocked when you have collected the required amount of Red Star rings.

unlock Amy:

Collect 30 Red Star Rings.

Unlock Tails:

Collect 45 Red Star Rings.

Unlock Knuckles:

Collect 60 Red Star Rings.

Real Money

If you decide you are going to spend real money in the game you should invest it on the Double Rings power-up as it will last you for as long as you have the game and when combined with the Magnet Power up-grade will have a huge effect on your ring collecting.
