Spotlight (Sonic Generations)

The spotlight, also called searchlight, is a gimmick that appears in the console/PC version of Sonic Generations. It is a light source used against Espio the Chameleon during his Challenge Act.

Description
Spotlights are meter-tall red searchlights which can be attached to both floors, walls and the ground by adjustable joints, and are constantly shoot out a column of light. They are only encountered during the Espio: Master of Camouflage Challenge Act.

In gameplay, the spotlights are used to reveal Espio while he is invisible. By using either the Homing Attack or the Spin Jump on the spotlights, their light columns will around the area in an arch, and can be done so repeatedly. If Espio is it hit by that light, he will become visible, thereby making him vulnerable to attacks, and temporarily immobilized. After a while though, even when the spotlights constantly shine on him, Epsio will recover and move away.
