Sonic Dons a Torch in Lost Labyrinth Footage

SEGA have official unveiled footage of the revamped second act in Sonic the Hedgehog 4, Lost Labyrinth, and the mine cart is dead.

The new video demonstrates a nifty new mechanic: the torch. Previously revealed on SEGA of Japan's website, with the nifty source of light Sonic will be venturing into almost pitch-black caverns. Limited visibility and a load of devious obstacles are set in your path. Light the way and even set off explosives mounted on large blocks to uncover secret areas and essential time-saving shortcuts!

According to IGN the dreaded tilt your controller to navigate a rather tricky mine-cart has been dumped on the iPhone version, with the console editions having short, nippy rides on the mine-cart instead of spending a whole five minutes in agony.
