In gameplay, the Spin Jump deals one hit worth of damage to weaker or unprotected enemies.

Again, the [[super transformation]] does not enhance the Spin Jump's size. It should be noted that when attacking [[Metal Madness]] with the [[Homing Attack]], the player will bounce back in the Spin Jump formation.

Revision as of 14:34, 23 December 2019

The Spin Jump (回転ジャンプ Kaiten Janpu?), also called the Super Sonic Spin Attack or Jump, is a move that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is a mid-air variation of the Spin Attack, where the user curls up and jumps into enemies or obstacles, dealing damage. Since its introduction, it has become one of the most basic attacks in the series, and arguably the most common as well, given that almost every playable character in the series has been able to perform it at some point.

Description

WhiteIsland ACT1 007D

Sonic using the Spin Jump on a pot.

When performing the Spin Jump, the user first jumps up into midair and then curls into a ball, like when performing the Spin Attack, and starts rolling around in midair at high speed. However, certain characters can have different performances or variants of the Spin Jump; when Tails and Cream perform the Spin Jump, Tails' twin tails and Cream's ears can be seen hanging from behind their respective curling ball form. Also, in Knuckles' Chaotix, when Espio and Vector are performing the Spin Jump, Espio whirls around like a tornado and Vector curls into a wheel.

While performing the Spin Jump, the user can deal damage to any enemies that they make successful and undisturbed physical contact with, and also break breakable objects in the Zones, such as Item Boxes, barriers and certain floors. However, it does not affect certain enemies that are clad in projection (such as spikes) or wielding weapons in the player's path which can damage the player instead of destroying the enemy. When the playable character transforms into a Super State, the Spin Jump usually increases in height and speed.

There is certain mechanic for the Spin Jump that can increase the jumping height of the playable character by jumping into the enemy/object from higher places or from the right angle and then getting bounced higher than the playable character is normally able to jump. The player is able to do this by pressing the jump button down until the player hits the targeted enemy. Depending on how long the player keeps the jump button down, the higher will the playable character will bounce. Outside the Genesis games, this technique is functional in the Sonic Adventure titles, the Sonic Advance series and the Nintendo 3DS version of Sonic Generations (though only for Classic Sonic).

Score Increases!

The player earns more points depending how many enemies he/she destroys after doing the Spin Jump.

In the first main games for the Sega Genesis, depending on how many enemies the player destroys with a single Spin Jump, the points that the player receives from defeating each enemy increases. While defeating one enemy is worth 100 points, destroying two enemies in a chain by doing the Spin Jump once increases points to 200, and destroying three enemy in a chain gives 500 points in total. After destroying four to fifteen enemies, the player receives 1,000 points and for any chain of destroyed enemies larger than that, the player earns 10,000 points for each destroyed enemy.

In the earlier games of the Sonic the Hedgehog series, the Spin Jump is a very useful and often vital attack for the player, due to it having greater movement control than the Spin Attack and Spin Dash and is often needed to defeat bosses and certain enemies. In the later games, when the player presses the jump button twice, the player can also perform another move during the Spin Jump, such as the Insta-Shield and Homing Attack, a Double Jump, or for certain characters, allow the player to fly or glide.

To perform the Spin Jump in gameplay, the player usually has to press the jump button in the respective games. To control the direction the Spin Jump is moving in, the player has to use the movement controls.

Games appearances

It is also the first game where it is referred to as the Spin Jump (回転ジャンプ Kaiten janpu?) in English releases.[10] To perform it in gameplay, the player has to press Sega Genesis A Button/Sega Genesis B Button/Sega Genesis C Button. Knuckles the Echidna can also perform the Spin Jump in Knuckles the Echidna in Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and the 2013 re-release.

In the 8-bit version of Sonic the Hedgehog 2, the Spin Jump is only performed by Sonic as he is the only playable character.

In Sonic the Hedgehog CD, the Spin Jump is again only used by Sonic the Hedgehog, but it can also be used by Miles "Tails" Prower in 2011 re-release.
