The Jump Attack (ジャンプアタック Janpuatakku?), also known as the Super Hammer Attack (ジャンプハンマー Janpuhanmā?, lit. "Jump Hammer") or the Mid-Air Hammer Attack is one of the signature moves of Amy Rose which first appeared in Sonic Adventure. It is a variant of the Hammer Attack where Amy attacks with her Piko Piko Hammer while jumping.

Description[]

When using the Jump Attack, Amy jumps into air and pulls out her Piko Piko Hammer where she swings it around while doing a body flip, thus damaging all enemies her hammer comes in contact with. This move is similar to the Spin Jump, although due to her hammer, Amy gains a much greater attack range. When performing the Jump Attack, the Piko Piko Hammer leaves a trail of pink hearts.

Sonic Origins Plus[]

In Sonic Origins Plus, Amy can perform a Jump Attack in all games by pressing the jump button again in mid-jump. It slightly extends the range of her Spin Jump, and protects her from some enemies' dangerous spiky areas, such as the Caterkiller's body or the Death Egg Robot's arms. This allows her to defeat or damage these enemies much more easily.
