Air Boost (Sonic Rivals)

Air Boost is a main technique utilized in Sonic Rivals and its sequel, Sonic Rivals 2.

Overview
While encountering a boost object or held by a hoop, the Air Boost is executed by pressing while engaging with the boost object. The button must be pressed quickly otherwise the opportunity is lost and the character simply vaults over the boost object or dropped from the boost hoop. The Air Boost will launch the character vertically into the air, mainly for accessing higher routes that lead into a shortcut or a needed power-up.
