Spinning Platform

Template:Item Spinning Platforms are gimmicks that only made appearance in Topsy-Turvy challenge act of Sonic Generations. Their main purpose is to serve as platforms that are somewhat harder to use.

Description

Spinning Platforms vary in size, but keep the same general appearance. They are always seen from the side, since they only appear in 2D side-scrolling sections. Although they are mainly red, they have a blue circle with a yellow star in the middle, similar to bumpers. Larger ones have a silver circle surrounding the blue circle. Yellow arrows on the red section of the Spinning Platform indicate whether it spins clockwise or counter-clockwise.

Spinning Platforms are round platforms that spin so that the player must balance on them if he/she is to stay on it. Most of the time, they are necessary to continue, and they usually spin in the direction the player is heading opposite in order to slow down the player. An easy way to use these platforms is to jump off quickly in the desired direction almost immediately after landing.

Trivia

• Due their shape and appearance, Spinning Platforms are similar to Flywheels. Unlike Flywheels, the player cannot run or spin around Spinning Platforms.
