Bubblegum Descent

Bubblegum Descent (ダイブ) is one of the Power Formation maneuvers used by Team Chaotix in Sonic Heroes and is the team's equivalent to the Triangle Dive. When performing this move, Espio the Chameleon and Charmy Bee hold onto Vector the Crocodile, who blows a large pink bubble of bubblegum that causes the team to slowly drift through midair or reach higher areas by utilizing vertical drafts.

Description
The Bubblegum Descent can only be used while Team Chaotix is in Power Formation (meaning that Vector has has to be in the lead). When performing the Bubblegum Descent, Vector inflates a massive purple balloon-bubble made of bubblegum while in midair to slow his own descend. Espio and Charmy then grabs onto Vector's back to ride with him, with Espio hanging from the back of Vector's gold chain and Charmy holding onto the foot of Vector's tail, while Vector himself gives off a green aura.

While executing the Bubblegum Descent, it enables Team Chaotix to greatly slow their descend through midair by catching the air beneath them, 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 floating 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.
