The first milestone of the "Racing Around the World" challenge has fallen. The Sonic Rumble community has successfully unlocked the 5,000 Rings reward, marking a strong start to the collective event. The focus now shifts to the next major threshold: 1,000,000 progress points.
Community challenges in battle royales are always a numbers game, relying on the sheer volume of matches played globally to push the progress bar. With the initial 5,000 Rings secured, players have a nice injection of standard currency to put toward cosmetic rolls or upgrades. However, the grind ramps up significantly from here.
Road to the Sticker and Red Star Coins
The developers have outlined the roadmap for the remaining rewards. While Rings are useful for basic economy, the higher-tier rewards offer items that are harder to come by. The immediate target is the one million point mark, which awards a specific cosmetic sticker.
Here is the breakdown of the remaining milestones:
- 1,000,000 Progress Points: Unlocks the "Racing Around the World" Sticker.
- 2,000,000 Progress Points: Unlocks 50 Red Star Coins.
- 3,000,000 Progress Points: Unlocks an exclusive Character Figure.
The jump to 2,000,000 points is where the value really kicks in. Red Star Coins act as the premium currency in Sonic Rumble, usually gatekeeping the more desirable skins and battle pass tiers. Getting 50 of them for free just by playing matches contributes to the "freemium" economy that keeps non-spenders competitive in the fashion meta.
Is the Character Figure worth the grind?
For completionists, the 3 million point milestone is the real prize. Character Figures in Sonic Rumble function as digital collectibles within the toy-themed world Dr. Eggman created. While they don't strictly alter gameplay stats like speed or acceleration, they are central to the game's collection aspect. If you want to 100% your toy shelf, the community needs to maintain its current pace to hit that 3 million mark before the event timer runs out.
With the first tier down, the momentum is there. Keep queuing up those matches to push the counter toward the 1M goal.
