Ice Cannon

The Ice Cannon or simply known as Ice, is a Pickup item that appears in Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed. They are large snowballs used to attack other racers.

Description
The Ice Cannon consists of large snowballs that can be used by racers to freeze opponents. Each Ice Cannon Pickup item has three snowballs ammo, and the player has the option to fire them all at once or individually. If the player fires two snowballs (one after another) at the opponent, he will be temporary frozen, this also happens if the player fires three of them, or if he/she fires all what they got at once, the opponent will be frozen instantly. Although if the opponent is shot by just a one, he will just slow down temporarily with some freeze effects.

In gameplay, the Ice Cannon is a strategic item, as a result of being quick once fired and needs to predict the player's movements at the right time to inflict damages. Also while drifting, the Ice Cannon fires its shots at the same position the camera is pointing to. Furthermore, the Ice Cannon shots can get through Fireworks, Twister, and other Ices, but can cancel out Drones and Blowfish.

Regularly, the Ice Cannon shots fire from the front of the player, but if the player holds down the control stick while pressing the Weapon button, they can be fired backwardly. The Ice Cannon is collected via Pickup items and the Bonus Chance machine, and the Super Pickup which doubles the amount of Ice from the regular items. Note that if the Ice gathered from the Super Pickup items fired at once, it will not fire the six snowballs at once, but only three rounds. To fire one shot, press the Weapon button, and press and hold down the Weapon button to fire all three snowballs at once.
