How Sonic Pico Park Works

The rule is the same as every PICO PARK game: reach the goal plate on the right side of the stage. The catch is that no one can do it alone. Players stack on each other to reach high ledges, stand on switches to open doors, and carry the key together. Sonic Pico Park adds Sonic moves on top:

Spin Dash: every playable character can use it to build speed and break through.
Rings, loops and springs: classic Sonic stage parts that change how you move through a puzzle.
Each set of stages is built around its own gimmick, and every set is open from the start.

Sonic Pico Park Characters

Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Amy appear on the title screen next to the classic PICO PARK cats. PICO PARK Inc. has also shown Shadow, Silver, Blaze, Cream and Cheese, Rouge and a Sonic Pico Cat, plus Big and Omega as Large Characters. Characters are cosmetic: every one of them can Spin Dash.

Sonic Pico Park guide: Playing Online and With Friends

All content can be played with any number of players from 2 to 8, so you do not miss stages with a small group.
Online play supports cross-play, so Switch, PlayStation, Xbox and PC players can join the same room.
On PC, up to 7 local players can join an online room from one computer.
On Steam, Remote Play Together lets friends join a local game over the internet without owning it.

Sonic Pico Park guide: Tips for Your First Stages

Talk before you move. Most failures come from one player running ahead.
Pick one caller. Let one person say when to jump, stack or Spin Dash.
Stack early. Many ledges need a tower of players, so build it before you need it.
Do not touch the goal until everyone is there. The stage only clears when the whole team arrives.
