Speedy Sonic is a Sonic Robo Blast 2 (SRB2) mod that started development on September 16, 2021. It was originally planned as an OC mod, but was quickly changed into an alternate version of Sonic set after Sonic Frontiers (more elements of his lore will be revealed later). The name "Speedy" is simply used to differentiate this version of Sonic from other versions of the character, while his real name remains Sonic the Hedgehog.
The goal of the mod isn't just to make a Sonic that is extremely fast and uncontrollable. The goal is to create a Sonic mod that is sure fast but also fun, well-balanced, and provides a great overall experience, with gameplay that relies heavily on technique and skill. The gameplay was heavily inspired by the Sonic Adventure, Sonic Advance, and Sonic Rush games, but has been reworked to provide a new and unique experience.
You will be able to see his gameplay below, as well as some extras designed to make the Speedy Sonic experience even better! (Please note: nothing is final, and some things may change throughout development.)
Double Jump
The Double Jump gives Speedy Sonic extra height and control, allowing him to reach higher places, avoid enemies, and fix a jump if needed. It also makes it easier to move around in the air and land where you want.
Powerful Homing Attack
The Powerful Homing Attack lets Speedy Sonic lock onto nearby enemies and quickly attack. Unlike the orginal Homing Attack, this one is harder to use and requires more control.
Spindash
Speedy Sonic's Spindash lets him build up speed while moving, without having to stop and spin in place. He can then uncurl with Spin and keep moving forward at high speed. It is useful for quickly gaining speed, moving through enemies, and keeping his momentum. It also allows him to quickly change direction in tight spaces.
Bounce
The Bounce lets Speedy Sonic bounce off the ground to reach higher places or avoid obstacles. It can only be used once and the player has to jump again to bounce another time, so it cannot be used repeatedly. It is useful for reaching higher places, getting through gaps, avoiding obstacles, and many other situations.
Air Thok
Speedy Sonic can perform the Air Thok while in mid-air by pressing Custom1 and Jump, giving him a powerful burst of speed. making it useful for keeping his momentum, reaching distant platforms. Compared to SRB2's vanilla Thok, this one is also harder to use and control but not as much as the Powerful Homing Attack.
Peel-Out
Speedy Sonic can use the Peel-Out by holding Custom2 while standing still, allowing him to charge up without moving. Once released, he quickly launches forward at quickly at his maximum speed in a split second. The Peel-Out is very useful for getting a very fast start and quickly reaching top speed.
Sprinting
Sprinting gives Speedy Sonic another way to reach very high speeds, even reaching his maximum speed like the Peel-Out or Spin Dash. By holding Custom1 while running, he starts charging up his Sprint. It takes a little longer to charge, so it is best used after losing speed. It is more effective when used with his momentum, especially on slopes.
Spin Wave
Speedy Sonic can perform a "Spin Wave" (originally Sonic Wave) by pressing Custom3 while Spindashing, as long as he has 10 or more rings. He releases a powerful shock wave in front of him, which travels a short distance and damages enemies in its path. The wave can hit multiple enemies at once, making it useful for dealing with enemies directly in front of the user.
TRICKS
In Speedy Sonic, you can change different options, including the Tricks System! By default, you have the Humming Top from Sonic Advance 2. Press Custom1 when you reach a spring or launch off a slope to perform it. It helps you keep your speed and is the fastest option. You can also choose Sonic Rush Tricks. Press Custom3 when you reach a spring or launch off a slope, then press Jump or Spin to finish the trick, this option gives you higher scores but slow Speedy Sonic down a little.

BOOST MODE & PRIME BOOST
Boost Mode
Speedy Sonic automatically enters Boost Mode after reaching enough speed giving him higher speed and acceleration. This lets him move through levels very quickly while keeping his pace.
Prime Boost
Once Speedy Sonic reaches maximum speed in Boost Mode, he activates Prime Boost. It can also be activated faster by using the Peel-Out, "Spam" Dashing, or Sprint. During Prime Boost, he becomes overpowered and can pass through enemies and obstacles without taking damage and reaches his fastest speed, making it easier to "Rush" through levels.
EXTRAS & MORE
While talking about options, Speedy Sonic also has a customization menu where you can change Gameplay and Cosmetic options. To open it, hold Custom3 while standing still to show a small instruction page inspired by X Sonic, then press Fire Normal to open the menu. The menu also uses the mod's theme for a more complete experience (more options & features can be added).
To activate his Super Form, Speedy Sonic requires all Chaos Emeralds and at least 50 rings. Hold Custom3 to open the instruction page, then press Jump to transform and become Super Speedy Sonic!
Hum... Anyways for finish..., Speedy Sonic also has a brand new Result Screen, the visuals are not final!
There is still a lot more to discover in Speedy Sonic! Many features and other details have not been shown yet and will be revealed during the mod's development, so there is still plenty to look forward to. If you're interested in the mod, you can join us on this journey!
