Press the A Button GameCube v2 Button after a jump in Power Formation to open my umbrella. We can glide down smoothly.


Big the Cat, Sonic Heroes (Nintendo GameCube)

The Umbrella Descent[1] (パラソル落下 Parasoru Rakka?, lit. "Parasol Fall") is a Power Formation move that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. When performing this move, Amy Rose and Cream the Rabbit grab onto Big the Cat, who uses his umbrella to drift slowly through midair or reach higher areas by utilizing vertical drafts.

Description[]

When performing the Umbrella Descent, Big pulls out his Fishing Rod in midair and folds outs its umbrella runner, allowing Big to catch the air beneath him slow his own descend. Meanwhile, Amy and Cream grab onto Big's belt to ride with him. While descending, Big gives off a purple aura.

In the gameplay of Sonic Heroes, while using the Umbrella Descent, the player is able to greatly slow their descend through midair and as well slowly move in all directions, similar to Glide. Also, in areas with vertical drafts (such as those caused by fans), the player is able to catch the upward draft generated at these places and ascend to higher sections by using the Umbrella Descent above the source of these updrafts.

To perform the Umbrella Descent in gameplay, Team Rose has to be in Power Formation. The player must then press and hold A Button GameCube v2/Cross/XboxA while jumping or in midair and can use the control stick to move in different directions. To break the Umbrella Descent, the player has to release the jump button.
