The laser gate (レーザーゲート[1],rēzā gēto?) is an obstacle that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is a type of gate that uses lasers as its blockade.
Description
Laser gates, as the name implies, are thick, tall gates made of yellowish and purple bricks that blend in with the environment of Launch Base Zone.
Overview
In Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and the lock-on game Sonic 3 & Knuckles, laser gates appear at various points of Launch Base Zone Act 2. In gameplay, they may look harmless at first. Once every second however, a red laser will appear from the top and go down in a split second. Said laser is capable of damaging any character who touches it. However, if fast enough, the player can pass through the laser gate before the laser even appears.
