Flying Kick

The Flying Kick is one of the various techniques listed in the Parkour moveset performed by Sonic the Hedgehog in the Wii U version of Sonic Lost World. When using this move, Sonic runs up to an enemy and immediately kicks the opponents far away, either the opponent hitting other enemies or flying farther before releasing an animal friend if being a badnik.

Description
To perform this move, the player, who controls Sonic the Hedgehog must approach an badnik (the Flying Kick is invulnerable to non-badnik enemies, such as sandworms). When close enough to the enemy, the player then must jump and kick the badnik. The move can actually cause other badniks damage, as well; the kicked-badnik will move in the direction the player kicked it, thus if enemies are behind the kicked-badnik, they too will be defeated.

Trivia

 * On the Nintendo 3DS version of Sonic Lost World, this move is virtually replaced with the Somersault Kick attack.
