Spin Hammer Attack

The Spin Hammer Attack is a technique which can only be performed by Amy Rose when she has the Warrior Feather. It has only appeared in Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure DX. It is an offensive move where Amy twirls around with her Piko Piko Hammer and is a variant of her trademark Hammer Attack.

Usage
In order to perform the Spin Hammer Attack, Amy must have obtained the Warrior Feather. When performing the Spin Hammer Attack, Amy stays in one spot and begins twirling around with her Piko Piko Hammer in a 360° swing at high speed, allowing her to destroy any enemies that enter the radius of her spin. While whirling, Amy’s Piko Piko Hammer leaves a trail of pink hearts and afterimages. This is done in gameplay by holding the Action button and spinning the control thumbstick in a circle and can be stopped by releasing the Action button.

The downside to this move is that if it is performed for too long, Amy will get giddy and will stagger around uncontrollably for a few seconds. Another downside is that the Spin Hammer Attack has a small radius as a standard and since she is rooted on the place when executing it, it is difficult to use. This radius can be increased however, by obtaining the Long Hammer.
