Changes: Spin Jump

Latest revision as of 19:14, 17 April 2024

The Spin Jump^[1] (回転ジャンプ^[2], Kaiten Janpu^?), also called the Super Sonic Spin Attack^[3] (回転ジャンプ^[4], Kaiten janpu^?, lit. "Spin Jump"), the Spin Attack^[5] (回転ジャンプ^[6], Kaiten Janpu^?, lit. "Spin Jump") or just Jump^[7] (回転ジャンプ^[8], Kaiten Janpu^?, lit. "Spin Jump"), is a move and game mechanic 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 in doing so. Since its introduction, the Spin Jump has become one of the most basic attacks in the series, and arguably the most common as well given that almost every playable character has been able to perform it at some point, this is to make a character play less differently.

Description

WhiteIsland ACT1 007D — Sonic using the Spin Jump on a pot, from the Xbox 360/PlayStation 3 version of *Sonic Unleashed*.

When performing the Spin Jump, the user jumps up into the air and curls into a ball, like when performing the Spin Attack. The user then starts rolling around midair at high speed. However, certain users have different performances or variants of the Spin Jump, such as when Tails and Cream perform the Spin Jump, their twin tails and ears, respectively, can be seen hanging from behind their 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, along with being able to 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 protection, such as Spikes, or wielding weapons. These will instead damage the player. When the playable character transforms into a Super State, the Spin Jump will usually increase in both height and speed.

The Spin Jump has a certain mechanic dubbed as "Badnik Bounce",^[9] that can increase the jumping height of the playable character, by jumping into the enemy/object from high 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 or Item Box. The longer the player keeps the jump button down, the higher will the playable character will bounce. This mechanic also works if the playable character in the Spin Attack mode is sent to the mid-air by curved ledges or falling down from the straight edge of the terrain, while landing statight to the enemy or Item Box. Outside the Sega Mega Drive games, this technique is functional in the Sonic Adventure titles, the Sonic Adv ance series, the Nintendo 3DS version of Sonic Generations, though only for Classic Sonic, and Sonic Mania.

Score Increases! — More points are earned based how many enemies are destroyed after doing the Spin Jump, from *Sonic the Hedgehog* (16-bit).

In the first mainline games for the Sega Mega Drive, depending on how many enemies the player destroys with a single Spin Jump, the points that are received 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. By destroying four to fifteen enemies the player receives 1,000 points, and for any chain of destroyed enemies larger than that, the player will earn 10,000 points for each enemy destroyed.

In the early games of the Sonic the Hedgehog series, the Spin Jump is a very useful and often vital attack for the player, as it has greater movement control than the Spin Attack and Spin Dash and is often needed to defeat certain bosses and enemies. In the later games, when the player presses the jump button twice, a second move can also be performed during the Spin Jump, such as the Insta-Shield, Homing Attack, 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. To control the direction the Spin Jump is moving in, the player must use the movement controls.

-The {{Nihongo|'''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|''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.

-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 [[Miles "Tails" Prower|Tails]] and [[Cream the Rabbit|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 the Chameleon|Espio]] and [[Vector the Crocodile|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 [[Zone]]s, such as [[Item Box]]es, barriers and certain floors. However, it does not affect certain enemies that are clad in projection (such as [[Spikes (obstacle)|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 transformation|Super State]], the Spin Jump usually increases in height and speed.
+While performing the Spin Jump, the user can deal damage to any enemies that they make successful and undisturbed physical contact with, along with being able to break breakable objects in the [[Zone]]s, such as [[Item Box]]es, barriers and certain floors. However, it does not affect certain enemies that are clad in protection, such as [[Spikes (Badnik)|Spikes]], or wielding weapons. These will instead damage the player. When the playable character transforms into a [[Super transformation|Super State]], the Spin Jump will usually increase in both 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 [[Sega Genesis|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]]).

The player is able to do this by pressing the jump button down until the player hits the targeted enemy or [[Item Box]]. The longer the player keeps the jump button down, the higher will the playable character will bounce. This mechanic also works if the playable character in the [[Spin Attack]] mode is sent to the mid-air by curved ledges or falling down from the straight edge of the terrain, while landing statight to the enemy or Item Box.

This time, the move is used by [[Sonic the Hedgehog]], [[Shadow the Hedgehog]], [[Knuckles the Echidna]], and [[Rouge the Bat]] in the main story. [[Miles "Tails" Prower]] is also able to use the technique, though only in the [[Chao Garden]]. When performing the Spin Jump in this game, Sonic and Shadow are surrounded by their respective auras and they leave it behind in their wake as they move around. In the games' multiplayer mode, [[Metal Sonic]], [[Amy Rose]], [[Tikal]], and [[Chaos]] can all use the Spin Jump as well, where Amy and Metal Sonic create the same aura effect as Sonic and Shadow when using it. To use the Spin Jump in gameplay, the player has to press {{A Button (Dreamcast)}}/{{A Button (GameCube)}}. The height of the Spin Jump is proportional to the time {{A Button (Dreamcast)}}/{{A Button (GameCube)}} is held down.
-In ''[[Sonic Heroes]]'', the Spin Jump is performed by all playable characters, which includes [[Team Sonic]], [[Team Dark]], [[Team Rose]]. [[Team Chaotix]], and [[Team Super Sonic]]. In this game, the Spin Jump is referred to as '''Jump'''.<ref>''[[Sonic Heroes]]'' ([[PlayStation 2]]) United States instruction booklet, pg. 14.</ref>
-When performing the Spin Jump in this game, each playable character is surrounded by a sphere of their respective auras. In gameplay, the Spin Jump deals one hit worth of damage to weaker or unprotected enemies. Additionally, using it on enemies allows the character to bounce continuously on them and deal more damage until the enemy retaliates. Furthermore, depending on which character is the leader, the player can follow the Spin Jump up with a more useful maneuver or offensive ability. 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.
-To perform this move in gameplay, the player must press {{A Button (GameCube)}}/{{A Button (Xbox)}}/{{Cross Button (PS)}}.
