Sonic Dash has just received an update to version 1.4.0 on iOS, which includes several additions, most notably however is the global challenge. The update page doesn’t provide many details on the global challenge, other than saying you’ll be able to “unlock some amazing prize.” Hmmm, think this could have something to do with that Shadow the Hedgehog tease from yesterday?
Other additions include Red Star Rings can now be grabbed on the track, power-ups have been raised to level 6, and “improvements to the tutorial and game balancing.”
We’re gonna give the game a “spin” now and check out the update and will report back soon!
Still waiting to see Sonic Dash on Android. Want to play the game but don’t have an iOS device.
I second the Android thing. Would be fitting on a poorly made Xperia Play device. Yay buttons. But ya, I’d just find something to complain about in the end but should be on Android 😛
7/17/2013 terrible update, the game feels and looks much worse. The jumping is awful, the character first jump as far or high now as the camera really sucks on jumps, the color changes like the barriers you have to jump over look awful too as you can see trough them which makes them look like something you can roll under. Just a terrible update to the gameplay.
And what’s with the global lap challenge? It never counts any laps I run? What is a lap? It should be when you bounce at the end of a level right?

I agree with you on the jump and barrier changes. Wait, what flying enemies? I’ve only come across the fish you using homing attacks on so far, and those were there pre-update.
As for the global lap challenge, it’s about how many meters ALL of the players run collectively as they play, as we’re talking about a lap around the EARTH here. Everyone’s individual Total Distance Run (found on Home Screen -> Options -> Stats) – or likely at least the TDR since the challenge started – gets counted toward the laps. I didn’t think to check my TDR at first since I wasn’t initially aware of how the laps work either.
I’ve seen two different calculations as to how many meters overall are needed on two different sites, but the numbers are HUGE either way. But if everyone contributes a good amount daily, we can do this. Every little bit helps!
yeah when does the meter start counter your laps, im trying everything to make it work but im just failing

Read this explanation!
Yeah, this lap thing is pretty confusing. I reached out to Hardlight to get clarification. We’ll see.
ah cool , tell me when you get an answer im so getting that shadow !
everyone in the world needs to accumulate 100 laps of the world combined, and if its done then everyone gets shadow apparently… http://www.segadriven.com/2013/07/competition-win-t-shirts-and-an-iphone-5-case-in-celebration-of-sonic-dashs-global-challenge/
oh wow , that will take some time.. and i barley think that everyone will be playing -.-
Wait so 100 people, a lap per person, within the next two weeks?
…. I’m not going to get Shadow, am I?
No, it’s not a lap per person. The game is combining everyone in the world’s distance, and it must equal or surpass the distance to 100 laps around the world by Aug. 5 to unlock Shadow.
well today we are at 3 ! if we can get to like 10 today it shouldnt be a problem , otherwise ill just shoot myself
btw , i only have the charector sonic and i have done all the missions , does anyone know if you get new missions if u buy the other charectors ? or when do the new missions come out ?
nah it’s not character-specific. the new missions are mixed in with the old ones. personally, i’m playing as Amy atm and to make the jump from X9 ro X11 I had to upgrade an ability to level 5 (which, as you might know has only just become possible)
oh , well im done with all the missions -.- now its just boring to play .. i got a new rekord on 2milion points ,,, now im tierd of playing since there is no missions -.-
Crap, I don’t see how you guys get such high scores! I’m maxed at like 625,000!
ok, I’ve got a better question
How long is one lap?
ok, but do not understand I like lightning over 100 laps, every time I enter the global challenge my sonic only gives 4 turns, as ago to give more? I have to have a certain amount of points?
100 Laps of the earth means a total distance of 4007500000m.
if you can! I have given 25 laps in 5 days! I think if we will succeed! the same thing was telling other friends in the comment, if you want to add me to game center accedes gladly, My game center name is:!: Motita:!
aaaa! ray I have no problems help me? what happens is that it can meet 33 laps but there is no way, not because I’ve been tresolviendo the daily challenges, achieving goals, beating my punctuation, but nothing!! I’m in 33 laps please any ideas or suggestions? something you can do as a team?
hello! sorry I have a problem, and finish all the missions and now that I can do to give more laps?
