Hydro Dash

The Hydro Dash is a move used by Team Sonic in Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric. With the aid of the Hydro Gate, the user can perform this technique to walk on water.

Description
The only way to perform the Hydro Dash is for the user to pass through a Hydro Gate. This will bestow an energy field to the user which allows them to stand on top of the water surfaces. It also significantly increases the user's running speed, as Tails noted that he was able to run just as fast as Sonic when using Hydro Dash.

In gameplay, performing the Hydro Dash enables the player to stand on water surfaces without falling into the water which would cause the player to lose Rings and Robot Scrap. While using it, the player is able to accelerate very fast to incredible running speeds. However, the player can also come to a complete stop which will reveal the shimmering energy field surrounding the playable character. After passing through a Hydro Gate, the Hydro Dash will last until the player makes contact with solid ground again (excluding ramps on water paths).

Trivia

 * In Slowpoke Isle, Sonic and Tails are performing the Hydro Dash despite not having been seen passing through a Hydro Gate.
