I've moved this topic because it really isn't an advanced topic. All this is, is knowing how to use timers and variables, which are both fairly simple. All you need is your acceleration/velocity setting to use a variable for speed. That way when you hit the speed box, it increases the variable (therefore increasing sonic's acceleration). And since you want it to last 10 seconds, you would also create a timer, that sets the speed variable back to the normal value.

don't care if it's you moved it i just thought that making sonic face left after the spindash if he was facing left and right if he was facing right .
