Description	A technique that propels the user at certain targets.

The Homing Dash is a move used by Sonic the Hedgehog and other playable characters in Sonic and the Black Knight. It is a variant of the Homing Attack where the user zooms towards the target in a non-offensive manner.

Description

Much like the Homing Attack, when performing the Homing Dash, the user jumps into midair and then homes directly into a target at high speed while leaving a colored trail in their wake. However, unlike the Homing Attack, the users do not curl into a ball and they move through midair in a manner more similar to the Jump Dash.

In gameplay, the Homing Dash can lock onto nearby enemies and certain gimmicks, like blue fairies and Springs. However, it does not show a reticle over the current target, like the Homing Attack normally does. This technique cannot destroy Knights of the Underworld, resulting in the player just bouncing off them when making contact, but it can destroy Flappers during Legacy Missions.

To use the Homing Dash in gameplay, the player must press during a jump. If there is not targeted enemies or objects within attacking range, the player will perform the Jump Dash instead. The player can also press during a midair dash to cancel the move. When playing as Sonic swinging the sword while homing in on an enemy or enemies will cause Sonic to rip through all of them while swinging his defeating them.

Trivia

• When trying to perform the Homing Dash for certain playable characters, they will perform a different move instead:
  • The Blacksmith will use Propeller Flying instead.
  • Sir Gawain/Knuckles the Echidna will use Glide instead.
  • Sir Galahad will use Levitate instead.
