Game appearances
Sonic Adventure 2
Hip Drop first appeared in Sonic Adventure 2 and its remake Sonic Adventure 2: Battle as one of Rouge 's special attacks. When performing Hip Drop, Rouge calls out the moves name, before striking the ground. In gameplay, using Hip Drop triggers an earthquake throughout the area that affects the opposing opponents no matter where they are, which causes them to trip and be left dazed for a few seconds. If performed while climbing , the opponents will be knocked off the walls, but if performed while the opponents are gliding or in the middle of a jump, it will have no effect.
Hip Drop is first performed by Rouge during the boss battle against her in the Hero story. Here, Rouge will begin using it after her health has been reduced to half.
Hip Drop can only be performed by the player by playing as Rouge in the games' two-player mode. To use it, the player must press / / on the ground after collecting twenty Rings . To use it again, the player has to collect another twenty Rings.
