Quick Step

The Quick Step is one of the signature move of Sonic the Hedgehog. Introduced in Sonic Unleashed, it has since then appeared in Sonic Colors and Sonic Generations.

Description
Fitting with its name, the Quick Step allows Sonic to make a swift movement to the left or right when running at high speeds. If it is used when standing still, Sonic will simply perform a dodge roll to the left or right.

In gameplay, the Quick Step is primarily used to avoid incoming obstacles, such as spike or walls that will stop Sonics movements. It can also be used to make precise movements into a narrow path ways or to move to another runway to avoid falling into a bottomless pit.
