Sonic Dream Team

Sonic Dream Team is a 3D platformer which follows Sonic the Hedgehog and his friends through various worlds taking place inside of Doctor Eggman's dreams. The game initially features six playable characters; Sonic, Amy Rose, Tails, Cream the Rabbit, Knuckles the Echidna and Rouge the Bat. After completing certain tasks, Shadow can be unlocked as a seventh playable character. In addition to performing homing attacks and using the boost gauge, Sonic and Amy can Air Dash and Light Dash through rows of rings, Tails and Cream can fly for short periods of time, and Knuckles and Rouge can glide and climb up walls.

Shadow's homing attack is replaced with an aimable Chaos Shift, and he can also use Chaos Control to slow down time. Players can switch between available characters in order to use their abilities to reach areas of each level others can't.

Doctor Eggman discovers an ancient relic called the Reverie, an object with dream-controlling powers that allows the pure of heart to bring their dreams into reality. Eggman, wanting to use this power for his own gain, steals the Reverie and kidnaps Cream the Rabbit and her Chao pet Cheese to use as a filter to access the relic's power. Eggman activates the Reverie upon which its guardian seals Eggman inside his own dreams before he can do any harm to reality. Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy Rose and Rouge arrive at the scene to try and rescue Cream and Cheese, to which the guardian also sends everyone to sleep and as a result enter Eggman's dreams.

Upon awakening in the dream world, known as Reverie Haven, Sonic meets the Guardian of the Reverie and Dreamweaver, Ariem. Ariem asks Sonic to collect Dream Orbs for her so that she can restore Sonic's friends and reclaim Reverie Haven from the dreamscapes Eggman has constructed.

According to Creative Director Dan Rossati, the intention of the gameplay was to "make a game that allowed players to get into an exhilarating flow state", comparing playing the game to, "skate parks and bobsled runs with rounded corners" that is designed to maintain the player's flow as they run through each of the zones.

The announcement trailer was released on November 1, 2023, with the music composed by Tee Lopes. A subsequent trailer with the game's opening animation was released on November 22, 2023, with animation by Powerhouse Animation. It was released for Apple Arcade subscribers on December 5, 2023, on iOS, macOS and tvOS.
