Spin Hammer Attack
The Spin Hammer Attack [ 1] (回転ハンマー[ 2] , Kaiten Hanmā ? , lit. "Spinning Hammer") , also called the Revolving Hammer Attack [ 3] (回転ハンマー[ 4] , Kaiten Hanmā ? , lit. "Spinning Hammer") is a move that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series . It is an ability used by Amy Rose and when performing this move, Amy twirls around with her Piko Piko Hammer .
Description [ ]
When performing the Spin Hammer Attack, Amy stays in one spot and begins twirling around with her Piko Piko Hammer outstretched at high speeds, like a spinning top , allowing her to destroy any enemies that enter her attack radius. While whirling, Amy's Piko Piko Hammer leaves a trail of pink hearts and afterimages.
Game appearances [ ]
Sonic Adventure [ ]
The Spin Hammer Attack first appeared in Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure DX: Director's Cut . In this game, Amy must have obtained the Warrior Feather to perform it. In gameplay, the player can perform the Spin Hammer Attack by holding down / / / and spinning the analog stick in a circle. The attack can be stopped by letting go of / / / .
The downside to this move is that if it is performed for too long, Amy will get dizzy and temporarily lose coordination, causing her to stagger around uncontrollably for a few seconds regardless of the player's controller inputs. Another downside is that this move has a small attack radius, and since the player is rooted in place when executing it, it is difficult to use. However, the radius can be increased by obtaining the Long Hammer .
Sonic Shuffle [ ]
In Sonic Shuffle , the Spin Hammer Attack is named Revolving Hammer Attack [ 3] (回転ハンマー[ 4] , Kaiten Hanmā ? , lit. "Spinning Hammer") and is Amy's Special Attack Ability. In gameplay, if Amy draws an S Card in battle, she will perform the Revolving Hammer Attack on the enemy, which always does five damage points.
In other media [ ]
Archie Comics [ ]
Sonic Boom [ ]
In the Sonic Boom franchise, the Spin Hammer Attack is a technique used by Amy Rose in Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric . In addition to dealing damage, this version of the attack does not make Amy dizzy, and allows her to move around and block projectiles while spinning.
Trivia [ ]
Despite being a mandatory upgrade for Amy, there is never a point where Amy is required to perform the Spin Hammer Attack to progress through the game, similar to Tails' Rapid Tails Attack .
The Spin Hammer Attack is the only attack gained from a Level Up Item that is completely useless against the character's final boss, as ZERO can only be hit by vertical attacks while the Spin Hammer Attack is a horizontal attack.
