Use the Pit Stop to give your Extreme Gear a burst of speed!


— Description, Sonic Forces: Speed Battle

The Pit Stop is an Item Box power-up that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is a Boost Item used primarily to increase the user's speed.

Description[]

The Pit Stop's icon takes form of Sonic's Blue Star II leaving a green blast aura with velocity meter which arrow points in the max speed. In gameplay, the Pit Stop will spawn the Air Pit down the track.

Overview[]

In gameplay, the Pit Stop can only be obtained at random from Item Boxes by Extreme Gear Sonic.

Once obtained, the player can utilize the Pit Stop by pressing its icon on the bottom of the HUD. When used, the Pit Stop will place the Air Pit some distance ahead of the user in the lane where the user currently on. When the user makes contact the Air Pit, they will receive boost in speed, much like when touching a Dash Pad. The duration of the Pit Stop is shown by the decreasing gauge on top of this power-up's icon on the bottom of the HUD whenever the Pit Stop is in effect. However, the Pit Stop will end prematurely if the user collides with an obstacle while using the Pit Stop. Any rival character who makes contact with the user while the Pit Stop is in effect will take damage, causing them lose Rings and slow down momentarily. In addition, the Pit Stop also can be used for rival characters who play as Extreme Gear Sonic and other Extreme Gear users (Jet, Wave, Storm, Tidal Wave and Tropical Storm) if they contact with the Pit Stop's Air Pit. However, aforementioned characters, except Extreme Gear Sonic, will be provided the boost of speed by the Pit Stop last shorter than Extreme Gear Sonic was.

The Pit Stop can also be upgraded by leveling the user up to level 2, 8 and 14 respectively. For each upgrade, the Pit Stop will last longer.
