In Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal, Sonic and friends – Tails, Knuckles, Amy, and newest member of the team Sticks – will work together as they face their most powerful enemy yet. Lyric is a giant and monstrous snake-like creature from an ancient race. An extremely tech-savvy mastermind who uses a sophisticated robotic body of armour to carry out his own nefarious deeds, he is a formidable enemy and a force to be reckoned with. With a strong emphasis on collaboration, the roles of Tails, Knuckles, Amy, and Sticks will be elevated in gameplay that capitalises on each character's unique talents and abilities. The goal is to prevent Lyric from powering his army of robots and carrying out his plan to destroy the world. The stakes have never been higher, and the only chance to overcome Lyric is to band together and work as a team.
Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal is crafted to take full advantage of the unique gameplay mechanics of the Nintendo 3DS. The game is a new chapter in the Sonic Boom universe and will have its own unique immersive storyline.
Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal on Nintendo 3DS and 2DS is a standalone adventure that shares key characters, events, and lore of the Sonic Boom universe with exclusive environments and characters. For the first time ever, gamers will be able to take on the role of Sticks, the newest member of the team who will play an integral role in the story after her best friend Amy gets kidnapped by the ancient villain Lyric. While the companion Wii U game, Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric, is focused on action-adventure and exploration, Shattered Crystal will place a bigger emphasis on platforming and puzzles. Additionally, unique collectibles featured in the Nintendo 3DS version will unlock special content on the Wii U via local communication.
