Wall Shuffle

The Wall Shuffle is a technique performed by Sonic the Hedgehog in the Sonic Storybook Series. First appearing in Sonic and the Secret Rings, the player can move Sonic through a wall ledge to continue proceeding through the level.

Description
The Wall Shuffle is a move only used on certain occasions. Typically, if the player, who controls Sonic the Hedgehog, runs to a wall ledge, the Wall Shuffle will activate. To control the Wall Shuffle technique, the player must tilt the Wii Remote control whilst being sideways (Sonic and the Secret Rings) or move the Nunchuk analog stick left or right (Sonic and the Black Knight).

Obstacles will also be in the way to harm the player as he/she are performing the Wall Shuffle. Spikes, and wall ledges that eventually fall down to bottomless pits can get in the player's way. In Sonic and the Secret Rings, if the player uses the Slide technique, he/she can potentially avoid all obstacles on the wall ledge, as long as the slide power was quick and powerful.

Sonic and the Secret Rings
"There will be moments where Sonic must move along the ledge with his back against the wall. In this situation, tilt down the right end or left end of the Wii Remote to shuffle him in either directions."

- Manual, Sonic and the Secret Rings

The Wall Shuffle first appears in Sonic and the Secret Rings. The Wall Shuffle is found at least once in all of the levels in Sonic and the Secret Rings. Using the Wall Shuffle in this game is much easier than its later appearances. The reason for this is because of the Slide ability, which lets the player skirt through the entire Wall Shuffle segments in a breeze. The Wall Shuffle at Night Palace, for example, can easily be skipped entirely with just using the slide ability. However, areas such as the Sand Oasis Wall Shuffle segments, can be avoided, but it requires enough skill and timing, due to said level having Wall Shuffle segments while running upward on a building.
