As a mammal, Ecco is also required to surface for air at regular intervals. By combining his charge and sonar, Ecco can attack enemies from a distance (a technique he had originally learned in the first game). Ecco's main attack is to ram into enemies them at high speeds, while his sonar is used to communicate with other cetaceans and interact with certain objects such as crystal Glyphs, as well as bring up a map of the area through echolocation. The Tides of Time maintains the same controls and level of difficulty as its predecessor. The Tides of Time continued the story of the first game and featured similar gameplay with a few new additions. Ecco: The Tides of Time is the second game in the Ecco the Dolphin series is the sequel to Ecco the Dolphin for the Sega Mega Drive, Game Gear, and Mega-CD, developed by Novotrade International and released in 1994.
