There will also be a Special Training: Green Hill Sprint limited quest. This is a practice drill with item drops like a Curio Holy Ray. It also offers extra quest point bonus rewards for getting rings and Chaos Emeralds. It’s designed to behave like a Sonic level. As a reminder, Sonic items often appear in the game, such as a Tails Mag Form or other customization items.
