The Shiny Trail is a gimmick that appears in the Sonic Boom series. As its name implies, it is a trail leading to a Shiny.
Description
The Shiny Trail is presented as a trail of footprints from regular shoes on the ground, starting from and ending at sudden points.
Overview
In Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric, Shiny Trails are meant to help the player locate the Shinies hidden in their respective levels. For every hidden Shiny, there is a Shiny Trail leading to it. Turning on the AVA near a Shiny Trail will make its footprints glow golden and reveal an X-Mark at the end of said Shiny Trail. It is at this mark that the Shiny is buried. Once the X-Mark has been revealed with the AVA, use Stomp on it to get the Shiny. After that, the Shiny Trail disappears.
