The Homing Attack (ホーミングアタック Hōmingu Atakku?) is one of Sonic's trademark attacks. First appearing in Sonic Adventure, it quickly became one of Sonic's most frequently used moves in the video game series.
Useage
The Homing Attack was first used in Sonic Adventure, as its name implies, the Homing Attack allowes the user to home directly into a nearby enemy, the attack can be chained to attack several enemies and to reach higher areas. Games such as the "Storybook series" and Sonic Generations allow upgrades to be bought to increase the max distance you can home attack/chain attack. The attack was first perfromed by Sonic and has since become a staple in the Sonic the Hedgehog series, with all manner of characters being able to perfrom the attack, such as Tails, Amy and, most notably, Shadow.
Sonic Heroes
In Sonic Heroes, whenever you collected a blue Power Core, the homing attack's power would increase. The levels of power are as follows:
Level 0: The attack causes one hit point of damage to the targeted enemy.
Level 1: The attack causes two hit points of damage to the targeted enemy.
Level 2: The attack causes three hit points of damage to the targeted enemy.
Level 3: The attack causes three hit points of damage to the targeted enemy. The attack also has the same effects a Tornado Attack, causing enemies to lose their shields or be flipped over as well as allowing the character to traverse up poles and activate propellers.
Other/Similar moves
Blast Attack - a move that appeared in Sonic 3D, the Blast Attack can only be used when Sonic has a Gold Shield. Much like the the Homing Attack, the move causes Sonic home straight into a nearby enemy and the player has to press the jump button twice to perform, however, the Blast Attack cannot chain attacks. This is often considered to be the predecessor to the Homing Attack
Jump Dash - the Jump Dash is a quick dash performed in the air, the move is performed whenever a player uses the Homing Attack when there are no enemies in the vicinity. The Jump Dash is also used by every playable support character in Shadow the Hedgehog (game) (with the exception of Sonic) instead of the Homing Attack.
Light Speed Attack - a cross between the Homing Attack and the Light Speed Dash, this move attacks all nearby enemies with series of Homing Attacks at light speed.
Maximum Heat Knuckles Attack - a move very similar to the Light Speed Attack used by Knuckles the Echidna, Knuckles homes into all nearby enemies.
Homing Smash - the Homing Smash is an upgrade that can be otained by buying the White Gem at a shop in Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) before Aquatic Base. It enables Sonic to hang in mid-air before dashing at his opponent with increased range.
Fire Claw - a move used by Blaze the Cat, Blaze spins around horizontally while sticking one arm and one hand out in front of her and homes in on the nearest enemy. like the Homing Attack, the move can be chained, but to perform the move, the player must press the jump button followed by the action button.
Other Media
The Homing Attack appears in Super Smash Bros. Brawl as a special move for Sonic.
