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.

Sonic Advance 2

The Hip Drop appeared again in Sonic Advance 2, where it served as Cream the Rabbit's downward Mid-Air Trick Action and can be used to damage enemies. In the game, it is the only one of Cream's Trick Actions that can damage enemies. To perform the Hip Drop in gameplay, the player has to press while pressing down on after Cream has been launched into the air through Springs, Ramps or other gimmicks.

The Hip Drop reappeared in Sonic Advance 3 as one of Cream the Rabbit's actions while jumping. In this game, its performance and mechanics are the same as in Sonic Advance 2. To let Cream perform Hip Drop in gameplay, she must have Amy Rose as her partner. Should the player control Cream when playing with this pair, the player can perform the Hip Drop by pressing while pressing downward on during a jump.
