Umbrella Descent

Umbrella Descent (ダイブ) is one of the Power Formation maneuvers used by Team Rose in Sonic Heroes and is the team's equivalent to the Triangle Dive. When performing this move, Amy Rose and Cream the Rabbit hold tightly onto Big the Cat, who takes out his umbrella, allowing the team to drift slowly through midair or reach higher areas by utilizing vertical drafts.

Description
The Umbrella Descent can only be used while Team Rose is in Power Formation (meaning that Big has has to be in the lead). When performing the Umbrella Descent, Big pulls out his large umbrella (that doubles as a fishing rod) while in midair to slow his own descend. Amy and Cream then each grab onto a side of Big's belt to ride with him, while Big gives off a purple aura.

While executing the Umbrella Descent, it enables Team Rose to greatly slow their descend through midair by catching the air beneath Big's umbrella, and to slowly move in all directions while in midair, similar to glide. The move can also be used in any area with vertical drafts (e.g. fans) to allow the team to catch the upward draft generated and ascend to higher areas by drifting above the updraft.

To perform this move in gameplay, the player must hold down the jump button while in mid-air, and use the control stick to move in different directions. To break the Bubblegum Descent, the player has to release the jump button.
