Sonic Heroes is a 3D action-platformer in which the player takes control of a team of 3 characters, each with a special ability - speed, fly and power. The objective of the game is to race through levels as quickly as possible whilst defeating enemies and collecting rings. Your time, rings and enemies defeated make up a point system, and more points mean a higher rank on the level. There are 4 teams of characters each with their own changes to the gameplay.

The game features different team lineups for varying degrees of difficulty. Team Sonic is considered intermediate, while Team Shadow is harder. Team Rose is easier, and Team Chaotix offers new mission objectives.

The game features four main modes: Story Mode, where players progress through levels as the story unfolds; Challenge Mode, which allows replaying previously cleared levels; Battle Mode, a multiplayer mode for racing or battling each other; and Tutorial Mode, teaching players the basics of playing the game.

Quick Ascent

Sudden dash upwards during flight that also doubles as a quick attack on enemies by stunning and grounding them, similar to Thunder Shoot.
