In the console/PC version of Sonic Generations Planet Wisp Act 1. In gameplay, they can be used to open new paths. By touching a Gear Platform as the Pink Spikes, the player will automatically get on top of them where they can roll along it, causing the Gear Platform to move along a string behind it. Sometimes, when reaching the end of this string, the Pink Spikes will rub against a special switch , resembling a quarter-circle of the Gear Platforms, and make them flip over.

Should the player jump off a Gear Platform or revert back to normal from the Pink Spikes while in the middle of moving it, the Gear Platform will move back into its starting position. The player can also increase its speed by using the Spin Dash on it.
