Catapult is a gimmick that appears exclusively in Sonic and the Secret Rings.
Overview
Sonic flying from the Catapult in the manual for Sonic and the Secret Rings.
When using this item, Sonic the Hedgehog insert himself via Spin Attack-form. With the player holding the Wii Remote in vertical position, Sonic can be thrown across great distances. How far Sonic goes depends on how the player swings the Wii Remote; if the player swings powerfully, Sonic will be launched to the right position and continues onto the level. However, if the player swings poorly, Sonic will either fall into a bottomless pit or not reach the selected destination.
Trivia
- In SegaSonic the Hedgehog, Landslide Limbo features a similar-looking set of wooden catapults that the player has to use to cross over pits.
