gamerant.com:

Official Roblox Sonic the Hedgehog game Sonic Speed Simulator will be getting an update this weekend that adds a fan-favorite character to its roster. This free-to-play game is part of an official partnership between Sega of America and Roblox developer Gamefam. It is an open-world multiplayer experience that allows players to traverse hub worlds and stages inspired by the series. It also has RPG-like elements, where players can level up their characters as they race against each other. Players can use either their Roblox avatars or avatars modeled after Sonic and his friends, which gives it a sense of polish that indicates that it is an official collaboration between the two properties.

This gives players the chance to play as characters that may have fallen out of focus over the years and have been relegated to background roles or not being playable at all. Players can unlock Tails, Amy, or Knuckles in Sonic Speed Simulator, with more characters like Espio being introduced in updates throughout 2022. Players will now get a chance to play as a highly anticipated and beloved character of the franchise in the next update, Shadow the Hedgehog.
