Spring Jumps
The character jumps off a springboard and the player has to connect the numbers that come up on the screen in numerical order. After that, he or she needs to slide up on the screen to jump higher until all the rings in the air are grabbed.
Spin
At some point, the player sees a Chaos Emerald circle mark. When the character touches it, he or she needs to quickly trace the yellow line to draw a circle. After that, enemies appear and the player needs to touch the direction they want their character to go and deflect the foes before time runs out.
Boss Battles
The last obstacle to come up is fighting the boss. Here, notes come up and the player needs to touch the yellow circle when the notes enter it. The notes will come up at the beat of the music. The player mainly wants to hit the notes to do a step attack and damage the enemy. Once the boss is defeated, the event will end.
