The game's storyline follows the intertwining adventures of a new character, Blaze the Cat, and the series' main character, Sonic the Hedgehog.  They respectively battle Doctor Eggman and his doppelgänger Eggman Nega at certain points.  The game was announced under the working title "Sonic DS" at Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) 2004, and under "Sonic Rush" at E3 2005.

Upon release, "Sonic Rush" was well-received by critics, with praise stemming from the game's music and similarity to older games in the series and criticism stemming from its overall quickness.
