1. The Basics Behind Attacking Enemies
Sonic makes his way up more than anything, so it’s good to know the best way to approach enemies. If you wanna keep all those rings you’ve collected, then make sure you smash into enemies from below while Sonic is still spinning in his little ball form. This is pretty Sonic knowledge but we’re gonna make sure you uninformed gamers know about it – if Sonic doesn’t have any rings in tow, the next hit will take him out.
2. There’s More Than One Character to Play With
Besides the titular blue hero, there’s more characters to play with. Your personal level progression helps you unlock more of Sonic’s longtime partners. At level 17, you’ll unlock Tails. At level 20, you’ll unlock Knuckles. Once you head to the store tab and click on the character tab, you’ll get to utilize your new characters. The updates for Sonic Jump also added a few more notable series characters that you can control – Amy Rose, Blaze The Cat (complete the Global Challenge mode), Rouge the Bat and Silver the Hedgehog.
3. Bank Your Rings As Much As Possible
Your rings are your lifeline. Always keep your eyes out for safes so you can bank them and keep theme protected once you get harmed.
4. The Difference Between Arcade Mode and Story Mode
Modojo.com explained the most important difference between the game’s main modes – Story and Arcade:
All of the levels in the Story mode are fixed and unchanging, so you can work through them safe in the knowledge that any restarts will be familiar. The Arcade mode is there for you to take part in an endless version of the game where the goal is simply to reach as high up in the sky as you can!
5. Purchase and Equip the Blast Off Ability ASAP

When you’re making your stage run’s through Story Mode, keep an eye out for those huge red rings. Try and collect all three of those pickup’s on any level if you’re looking to get a perfect rating. They may be incredibly hard-to-reach, but nabbing them will give you the best score possible.
8. Know When to Use Those Double Jump’s
Double jumping is done by double tapping the screen. Use this ability sparingly since you don’t wanna jump too much to your doom. Time your jumps accordingly and make sure you use your double jumps at those super tricky platforms.
