Spinning Top

"You can ride Spinning Tops across the sky. Get on one and hold left or right to start moving."

- Sonic Generations In-Game Description

Spinning Tops are different types of gimmicks, that have made first appearance in Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and are later seen in Sonic Generations. They are featured and placed everywhere on ancient ruins of the Angel Island. When the player jumps on Spinning Top, he/she is able to travel across the Zone in mid-air. Their appearance changed between two games, while as they function similarly, they are somewhat differences on the gameplay wise.
