Trip is the 5th playable character you can unlock in-game, and it’ll take you a little bit of a grind to get her.

To unlock the fifth and final character of the roster, you simply need to beat Story Mode once. This will unlock Trip after the credits play, and you return to the main menu along with a new story around Trip and the ability to use her in all modes, including Time Trials.

Trip is a unique character in that she has a double jump like Amy Rose, but with spikes around her. Her Super form also transforms her into a dragon if you have collected all the Chaos Emeralds.

So keep pushing forward, and you’ll have a brand new character to play with before too long.
