  • Drop Dash: Hold the jump button in mid-air to charge a Spin Dash upon landing, maintaining momentum.
  • Insta-Shield: Press the jump button again in mid-air to briefly extend your hitbox, useful for hitting enemies or deflecting projectiles.
  • Super Peel Out (unlocked): A faster-charging but less powerful alternative to the Spin Dash.

Sonic excels at maintaining high speeds and accessing upper pathways. His versatility makes him a great choice for both beginners and experienced players.
