Sonic Battle Overdrive

Sonic Battle Overdrive (ソニックロックンランブルSonikkurokkunranburu, lit. Sonic Rock 'n Rumble in Japan), known as Sonic Battle 2 in Europe, is the sequal to Sonic Battle. Exclusive for the Nintendo 3DS.

Gameplay
Sonic Rock 'n Rumble is the same as it's prequal, but with upgraded and updated gameplay.

The Touch Screen allows the player to see the current Vitality and Special Gauge of its teammate(s). The Touch Screen also shows a Special Move that can be performed while on a certain level of the Special Gauge, which is 2, 6 for Zemerl (the first 5 are 10% each).

On level 0 the player can perform a Lvl 1 Special Move (Zemerl can only perform this with a cost per bar), on level 1 the player can perform a Super Special, finally, on level 3, the player can perform either a Team Special, which requires 1 or 2 teammate(s) to activate, or activate Super Form (only if no teammates are present). Both the Super Special and the Team Special requires making contact with a foe (or also rush into them) in order for it to activate. Zemerl, unfortunately, is unable to use a Super form (excluding Omega Zemerl who is exclusively a final boss, though as the enemy) or participate in any kind of Team Special and can only use his own Super Special, which is Finale (though during his Omega form his Super Special is turned to Omega Finale, which is stronger than a Team Special since it can cause an imitiate Game Over in 1 hit).

The game also introduces the ability to go head-to-head wirelessly or on the internet. Like Mario Kart Wii/7, chosen (or voted) stages will be selected randomly.

Trivia

 * Zemerl's name was originally intended to be called Xemerl with the first letter resembling/based on Sonic X, but because of the show's poor critisism by the fans (and possibly the official reviewers), it was later changed to Zemerl (with the first letter similar to Dragon Ball Z!).
 * Challenge Mode has been changed to Arcade Mode, with differed mechanics as well.
