Spamming reactions in the lobby is usually just a way to pass time between matches, but now it is a server-wide mandate. Sonic Rumble has kicked off a massive community event that tasks the entire player base with a collective goal: use 3,000,000 stickers.
The Grind for the "Racing Around the World" Emote
This is a collaborative event, meaning every sticker used by every player counts toward the global total. While previous roadmap leaks suggested the 3 million milestone might reward a Character Figure, the official announcement has confirmed the grand prize is the exclusive "Racing Around the World Emote". This is a cosmetic you won't want to miss if you care about collecting rare interactions.
It isn't just about the emote, though. The event features tiered rewards that inject some much-needed currency into the economy. Hitting the lower milestones unlocks:
- 5,000 Rings – Useful for standard shop upgrades.
- 50 Red Star Coins – The premium currency, crucial for acquiring new characters and high-tier cosmetics.
How should you contribute?
The most efficient way to drive the counter up is utilizing the pre-match lobby. While you can use stickers during the actual races, it often distracts from the platforming precision required to qualify. Instead, take advantage of the downtime while matchmaking or the podium screen to spam your favorite stickers. Since the goal is volume, every interaction helps push the community closer to that 3 million mark.
Given that Red Star Coins are involved, participation is highly recommended even if you aren't interested in the emote. Free premium currency is rare in the mobile royale economy, so log in and start sticking.
