Not only does sprinting increase your movement speed, but it also shows more personality from the cast. Each character has their own running animation, which helps bring more character to them. We recommend switching between your lead character just to see all the different animations.

Be careful while running because if you run into a wall or object, your character collides with it. This will cause them to bounce off and be stunned for a brief moment. Despite how painful it must be, it does look pretty adorable to see them pick themselves up after running full speed into a wall.
