Shuriken (move)

Shuriken Throw (手裏剣) is a technique used by Espio the Chameleon in Sonic Heroes. When using this technique, Espio throws a large shuriken at his opponents.

Description
When using the Shuriken Throw, Espio pulls out a three-foot large shuriken star and throws it as a frisbee at opponents in front of him to damage them. If used in close spaces, the thrown shuriken star will ricochet off of the walls repeatedly, allowing even more strikes at the foes. The Shuriken Throw can even be used when Espio has turned invisible from using the Leaf Swirl.

In gameplay, the Shuriken Throw is used by quickly tapping the Attack button (/) while Espio is standing on the ground. The thrown shuriken star does not home onto the opponents automatically, however, so the player has to aim manually.
