Fireball Spin Dash
Description
A move that turns the user into a fiery projectile.
The Fireball Spin Dash [1] (火の玉ダッシュ , Hinotama Dasshu ? , lit. "Fireball Dash") , also referred to as the Mid-Air Dash ,[2] is a move that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series . It is a special technique that turns the user into a fiery projectile.
Description [ ]
The Fireball Spin Dash is basically an enhanced version of the usual Spin Dash with the Flame Shield added to its performance. When performing it, the user curls into a ball and dashes forward through midair at high speed like a meteor, thanks to the Flame Shield.
In gameplay, the Fireball Spin Dash can only be used while Sonic is equipped with the Flame Shield. It is useful for dashing through midair, destroying breakable objects, damaging enemies and gaining a small speed boost, while wielding the effects of the Flame Shield. However, ramming into a non-fire obstacle will cancel out the Fireball Spin Dash (and cost the Flame Shield).
Games appearances [ ]
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles [ ]
The Fireball Spin Dash, from Sonic the Hedgehog 3 .
In Sonic the Hedgehog 3 , followed by its add-on continuation Sonic & Knuckles and the lock-on game Sonic 3 & Knuckles , this technique made its first appearance. In these games, it is used exclusively by Sonic and is referred to as the Fireball Spin Dash [1] (火の玉ダッシュ , Hinotama Dasshu ? , lit. "Fireball Dash") . When performing it, Sonic is engulfed in white and red flames, making him resemble a fireball.
To use it in gameplay, the player must press , or during a Spin Jump . However, it can only destroy one target at a time. By comparison, this move is useful against Doctor Robotnik’s Flame Craft bosses, since most of their attacks are fire-based and they tend to float around in midair.
Sonic Generations [ ]
