Description
A metallic seesaw.
The seesaw [2] [3] (シーソー[4] [5] , shīsō ? ) , also formatted see-saw [6] and known as the catapult ,[7] is a gimmick that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series . It is a metallic board with a damaging object on the other send, which is used to give the player an aerial boost to reach higher pathways.
Description [ ]
The mechanics of the seesaw, from Sonic the Hedgehog 2 .
In their numerous games appearances, the seesaws are usually depicted as gray metallic boards balancing on the middle on a differently colored cylinder base. On one side of the seesaw, serving as the counterweight, is placed either a bomb , a small iron ball , or an enemy that can damage the playable character upon touch. Seesaws are usually set on the ground, but can also be placed in mid-air.
When the player hops onto the open end of the seesaw, the object/enemy on the other end is flung into the air and falls back down, sometimes on the opposite end of the seesaw. In the latter case, the player must therefore move over to the other end. When the object/enemy lands on the seesaw again while the playable character stands on the opposite end, the playable character is thrown into the air. Sometimes, the player can reach higher elevations by consecutively repeating the process of bouncing the object/enemy off the seesaw.

During the Egg Spiker boss fight, Dr. Robotnik will drop mines onto the see-saws, which the player can launch back at the Egg Spiker or use to launch Sonic into the Egg Spiker.

SegaSonic the Hedgehog [ ]
In SegaSonic the Hedgehog , when the playable characters get chased by a large magma ball in Volcanic Vault , they will fall down on a seesaw.

Sonic the Hedgehog CD [ ]
In Sonic the Hedgehog CD , a different type of seesaw appears in Metallic Madness . In this game, the player is only able to stand on the front end, as the other end is behind it with an iron ball on it. If the player jumps to the front end, it will launch the iron ball in the air and down on the front end. As such, the player must move before the spike ball lands.

In Sonic & Knuckles and the lock-on game Sonic 3 & Knuckles , mushroom-based seesaws appear in Mushroom Hill Zone . These types of seesaws consist of two mushrooms with a small metallic libra weight on one of them.

These seesaws also do not increase the height with each successive bounce.
Sonic Advance 3 [ ]

In the Nintendo 3DS version of Sonic Generations , different type of seesaws are featured as gimmicks in Mushroom Hill . These mushroom-themed seesaws function much like they did in Sonic & Knuckles .
Sonic Lost World [ ]
In the Wii U version and PC version of Sonic Lost World , seesaws[3] appear in the Circus tents for Tropical Coast and Sky Road . Seesaws in this game have light-blue plates and wooden wheel in the middle. In gameplay, the player is required to use Wii U GamePad to move the seesaw left and right. As Sonic and Tails (or Orbot and Cubot ) jump on the seesaw, the player has to balance this gimmick around and make each of them land on the right side of the seesaw's plate to launch the other character up from other the end.
When bounced enough, the player can collect Rings or pop balloons to free Animals . The player has three attempts to use the seesaw in these Circus mini-games, where the player loses a try if the characters do not land safely on the seesaw, or until time runs up.
Sonic Mania [ ]
A seesaw in Mirage Saloon Zone Act 1, from Sonic Mania .
In Sonic Mania and its expansion Sonic Mania Plus , the seesaw appears in Knuckles ' version of Mirage Saloon Zone Act 1 in Mania Mode. It also appears in Encore Mode's version of Mirage Saloon Zone Act 1 in Sonic Mania Plus . In these games, the seesaws resemble how they looked in Sonic the Hedgehog 2 , with a cactus-themed Orbinaut variant being used as a counterweight.
Another type of seesaws are featured as the main gimmick in Metallic Madness Zone Act 1. In Mania Mode, these seesaws have a blue and red color scheme, and in Encore Mode they have a dark green and red color scheme. These seesaws function much like they did in Sonic the Hedgehog CD , but with an additional twist: when launched into the mid-air by these seesaws, the playable character gets transported to the second layer of the Zone geometry in the background, thereby granting the player extra platforming segments. In order to return to the main layer, the player has to use another seesaw in the background's platforming section.
