There's also [[Film/SonicTheHedgehog2020 Movie Sonic being playable alongside Baby Sonic]] and [[Film/SonicTheHedgehog22022 Movie Super Sonic]].

** Surge plays similarly to Tangle above, with the differences is that her items are general more powerful than Tangle in exchange that her small boost items has a cooldown system with each use whenever it doesn't hit the opponents.

* DoppelgangerAttack: Infinite can once again create replicas of himself, which damage players that are not him upon contact.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Yes, you can even be hurt by your own traps if you're not careful. Most traps set themselves ahead of the player in every lane but the one they are currently in, but a few are a little trickier than that and can easily get you into trouble if you aren't paying enough attention, such as traps that place themselves directly in front of the racer ahead of you when they're in the same lane you are and dodge out of the way. There are some exceptions, though, such as Infinite being immune to his own Deadly Replica and Reality Warp.

* MechanicallyUnusualFighter: Tangle not only lacks projectile/trap items and has the ability to equip the same power-ups in two different slots (her Tail Strike) without the use of Metal Sonic’s Steal power-up, her Tail Spring power-up is a jumping boost with super armour once Tangle's in the air and as she lands. If this wasn't enough, all of her moves (sans the universal Shield power-up) boost her forward.

** Eventually, more characters are also gains super variant such as Movie Sonic, Shadow, and Silver.

** Sonic's werehog form from ''VideoGame/SonicUnleashed'' made his playable return since ''VideoGame/SonicRunners''. Likewise, his Darkspine form from ''[[VideoGame/SonicStorybookSeries Sonic and the Secret Rings]]'' also made his return here.

** Excalibur Sonic could also count, as he is Sonic's respective Golden Super Form in his debut game, ''[[VideoGame/SonicStorybookSeries Sonic and the Black Knight]]''.

* YourMindMakesItReal: All of Infinite's items are capable of inflicting an illusion debuff that temporarily causes racers afflicted by it to perceive all boost pads and item boxes on the course as spikes, and take damage from them as if they were actually spikes. Badniks also become immune to regular jump attacks and slides, although they can still be destroyed with items.

* MesACrowd: You can have multiple instances of the same character racing with one another. {{Justified}}, as they're Phantom Ruby copies. Also Infinite can once again create replicas of himself, which damage players that are not him upon contact.

* MakeMeWannaShout: DJ Vector and Punk Zazz feature sound-based attacks. Audio Assault pierces targets and keeps going without stopping, and characters hit by it [[PowerNullifier temporarily can't use their items]].

%%* AdaptationalWimp: Silver, who is one of the most powerful characters alongside Shadow, here is a Common character who doesn't use his [[MindOverMatter psychokinesis]] at all. However, this is {{subverted}} with his Special versions, Lantern Silver & Nutcracker Silver.

* AwesomeButImpractical: ZigZagged. Super variants falls between this and DifficultButAwesome, mainly due to his dash having a lot working against it despite its speed and invincibility. First of all, it needs at least 50 rings, later nerfed to 80 rings to use, which is a steep cost, and Super form having a lower starting ring level up doesn't help. Second of all, [[PowerStrainBlackout it then leaves you with 0 rings, which puts you at a massive speed disadvantage that can cost you any lead the dash would have gotten you]], and lastly, it's not ''quite'' as overpowered as it seems, as working against the speed boost is a short transformation sequence that starts it which has them come to a complete stop. On the plus side, if you are skilled enough to stick close enough with the other runners and manage to time his boost just right, Super variants is utterly unstoppable. with them capable of stealing their opponents' lead at the very last second, which can be quite satisfying.

* PowerNullifier: Getting hit by any electric-based attack or trap, such as [[ShockAndAwe Lightning, Electro Boost, Zap Trap, and Storm Cloud]]. will erase a random item you have. DJ Vector, Punk Zazz, and Movie Tails have moves that instead prevent the player from using any item for a set amount of time.

* AdaptationalWimp: Silver, who is one of the most powerful characters alongside Shadow, here is a Common character who doesn't use his [[MindOverMatter psychokinesis]] at all. However, this is {{subverted}} with his Special versions, Lantern Silver & Nutcracker Silver.

** Super Sonic's Super Sonic Form, in true Super Sonic fashion, costs 50 rings, later nerfed to 80 rings to activate, at which point Sonic will transform and dash forward with invincibility, consuming rings at a quick rate and continuing to dash until all rings are consumed.

** Movie Sonic also gains a super form variant and he plays exactly like his mainline counterpart.

** Alternate universe versions of Tails and Amy, Tails Nine and Rusty Rose from ''WesternAnimation/SonicPrime'', were added to the game after the show's debut on Netflix.
