Sonic Dash 2: Sonic Boom is the sequel to the third-person endless runner Sonic Dash. It has similar gameplay, but now the cast and the levels are based on the Sonic Boom television series. Just like the original game a character that runs automatically needs to be guided through an endless, randomized environment, avoiding obstacles, collecting items and defeating enemies. There are three lanes and a character is moved by swiping left or right. Swiping up is used to jump and down to roll and pass through low passages. Similar to the first game the vertical swipes are also used as attacks to defeat enemies.
