The Spin Ball[1] is a gimmick that appears in the Sonic Boom series. It is a metallic ball that Sonic the Hedgehog can use to unlock paths.

Description[]

The Spin Ball is a very large and metallic blue ball with glowing, light blue arrow-like lines on its surface. The majority of this ball is embedded in the ground with only the top half showing.

Overview[]

In Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric, the Spin Ball serves as a way for the player to unlock paths using Sonic's specific character abilities. When using it, Sonic must perform the Spin Dash on top of it. This will cause the Spin Ball to roll in place while Sonic remains in place on top of it. This will in return trigger a reaction in the environment that will unlock new paths or hidden contents, like unlocking a gate, moving a Tube into place, or raising a Hydro Gate.

To use the Spin Ramp, the player must press and hold down Snnwiidsxbuttondisco on the Wii U Gamepad while on top of the Spin Ball to trigger the Spin Dash and make the Spin Ball roll. The player can also walk on top of the Spin Ball to make it roll, though it will move too slow to trigger any reaction.
