The Air Boost is a maneuver that appears in Sonic Rivals and Sonic Rivals 2.
Overview[]
While coming into contact with a Boost Object or Boost Ring, 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 is released from the Boost Ring. 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.
