The Special Combination in progress.
In gameplay, Special Combination is a rare Item Box power-up that only appears in Oil Desert Zone Act 2 and 3, and Sky Fortress Zone Act 2. When picking up this Item Box's power-up, the screen will turn dark and Sonic and Tails (with the latter accompanying the former during a playthrough) will start bouncing around on the screen while using the Spin Attack, destroying any Badnik they collide with. During this, a button prompt will appear on the screen that instructs the player to press
