Side Special Move: Spin Dash
A trademark move that has been with Sonic since his early career, the Spin Dash lets you roll up into a speeding ball and cause harm to anyone that gets in your way. During a Spin Dash you can also jump into the air, and knock an opponent with a mid-air attack after colliding with them. Sonic can also execute his Spin Dash in mid-air as well as on the ground.
Down Special Move: Spin Charge
If you fancy picking up the speed a little, then the Spin Charge is just what you need. Holding the down direction while rapidly tapping the special move button lets Sonic charge his spin on the spot, allowing him to execute his Spin Dash even faster. The more you charge, the faster you go!
Up Special Move: Spring Jump
Sonic didn't come to the wonderful world of Nintendo alone - he packed his trusty spring and brought it along with him! Using your Up Special creates a spring for Sonic to bounce on, propelling him high into the air - useful for recovering or getting out of a tight spot. This move can be used both in the air and on the ground, but if you use it on the latter, your opponents can also use it too!
