The height of the Spin Jump is proportional to the time / is held down. To perform it in gameplay, the player must press /. In this game, the move is referred to as the Spin Jump ( ジャンプアタック, Janpu Atakku ?, lit. In Sonic Blast, the Spin Jump is a maneuver used by both Sonic and Knuckles. Game appearances Sonic the Hedgehog (1991) To control the direction the Spin Jump is moving in, the player must use the movement controls. To perform the Spin Jump in gameplay, the player usually has to press the jump button. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. More points are earned based how many enemies are destroyed after doing the Spin Jump, from Sonic the Hedgehog (16-bit). 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. 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. The longer the player keeps the jump button down, the higher will the playable character will bounce. The player is able to do this by pressing the jump button down until the player hits the targeted enemy or Item Box. The Spin Jump has a certain mechanic dubbed as 'Badnik Bounce', 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. When the playable character transforms into a Super State, the Spin Jump will usually increase in both height and speed. However, it does not affect certain enemies that are clad in protection, such as Spikes, or wielding weapons. 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. 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. 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. The user then starts rolling around midair at high speed. When performing the Spin Jump, the user jumps up into the air and curls into a ball, like when performing the Spin Attack.
