The Burst Hover is a move used by Blaze the Cat. It made its first appearance in Sonic Rush and appeared again in the sequel Sonic Rush Adventure. It is Blaze's equivalent to the standard Jump Dash. When used, this move allows Blaze to briefly hover in the air.

Description

When using the Burst Hover, Blaze launches herself into the air and uses her special pyrokinetic abilities to ignite a continuous stream of fire under her feet. The updraft created from this not only allows Blaze to slow her descent through midair by hovering, but also allows her to control whatever direction she is heading from side to side fairly quickly, as well as control the exact place on the ground she wants to land. It also allows Blaze to move much greater distances through midair than the Jump Dash can.

To perform the Burst Hover in gameplay, the player has to hold while Blaze is jumping or is sent into midair. To control Blaze's direction while using the Burst Hover, the player must press left/right on .

The downside to the Burst Hover is that it trades speed for greater control over Blaze's movements, making it somewhat slower than the Jump Dash. Also, if Blaze performs the Burst Hover for too long, she will get tired and the Burst Hover will stop, so it is not advisable to overuse it while crossing over bottomless pits.
