This technique can stun enemies, activate vertical poles, and even give Sonic speed in very specific instances if cancelled. Blue Tornado Pressing B while the in jumping state will make Sonic start spinning in a circle, creating a tornado (hence the name Blue Tornado). Homing Attack If a jump dash is performed while Sonic is near a target (such as any enemy or item capsule), Sonic homes in on said target while jump dashing, performing a homing attack. This makes Sonic do a dash in the direction that he is facing, starting at a forward speed of 5. Jump Dash If you press A while in the jumping state, a jump dash is performed. Light Dash Pressing B with Sonic when approaching a set of rings causes Sonic to lock onto and follow the path of the rings at a high speed. If Sonic is upgraded to level 3, performing a rocket accel near vertical poles makes Sonic attach to that pole. Performing this rocket accel allows us to quickly gain enough speed to perform the clip without having to cover a lot of distance to build that speed. A great example is 8 seconds into Mystic Mansion, where we need to clip through a door but do not have enough speed to do so. This is a great way to build up speed in a scenario in which we don’t necessarily need to cover a lot of distance. Rocket Accel With Sonic as the active character, holding B for a variable amount of time will cause Tails or Knuckles to kick and propel Sonic forward.

Kick While on the ground, pressing B with Sonic active causes him to kick.
