The gameplay is similar to ''Sonic Dash'', with automated running, lanes to switch to, and obstacles to avoid. However, instead of {{Endless Running|Game}} and occasional boss battles, you are to race against other players from start to finish and slow them down with {{Power Up}}s, from direct attacks to super dashes to obstacles to place on the track. The ExcusePlot is that everyone is hunting Phantom Ruby prototypes down and thus race to do so.
