Description	A full-body curling spin that tears enemies apart.

The spin attack is a move that appears in the Sonic Boom franchise. It is a technique that consists of the user curling into a high-speed projectile.

Description

When performing the spin attack, the user curls tightly into a concussive ball and rolls forward at high speed. At the same time, the user is usually surrounded in an aura that leaves a colored trail in the user's wake. In this state, the user becoming a powerful projectile, capable of breaking through rock, metal walls and multiple Badniks. The attack is also nearly unavoidable; in Sonic's case, until he failed to use it on Lyric the Last Ancient, no one had ever been able to dodge the spin attack. If the user legs are injured though, the spin attack cannot be properly executed.
