− | ;Super Spin Dash:When the character is standing still, press and hold the D-pad down, then tap A two times. Release the D-pad to blast off in a burst of speed. Amy can't do this movement. | + | ;Super Spin Dash:When the character is standing still, press and hold the D-pad down, then tap A two times. Release the D-pad to blast off in a burst of speed.

| ;Quickstop:Often, after jumping or bouncing in a spring you keep a little momentum but when you land you need to Spin Dash to gain momentum. If you press down to Spin Dash when you land, you roll a little before stopping and lose time. Quickstopping is useful in these cases. To do a Quickstop, tap B button (with Sonic you have to tap it two times) at the very moment that you land to perform an attack movement and stop quickly. Once you are stopped you can Spin Dash. There is a faster way to Quickstop with Knuckles: after jumping press A just before landing. This technique is not useful if you play as Amy. | | ;Quickstop:Often, after jumping or bouncing in a spring you keep a little momentum but when you land you need to Spin Dash to gain momentum.

− | ;Ramp Jump:When floors are not level, the angle of the floor affects the angle of the jump. If you are moving up hill, then a ramp jump gives you much more height than usual. Similarly, if you are travelling down hill, your jump is lower than the regular one. These are referred to as uphill and downhill ramp jumps respectively. The angle of a Ramp Jump is different if you jump while running than if you jump while rolling. Ramp Jumps are especially useful on [[Egg Rocket Zone Act 1]]. | + | ;Ramp Jump:When floors are not level, the angle of the floor affects the angle of the jump.

− | ;Loop Jump:A variation on the ramp jump, which takes place inside a loop. When you make a jump from the bottom-right or top-left of a loop (assuming entry from the left), you can catch the next corner of the loop and be propelled off at much faster speeds. Loop jumping at the top left is the most efficient and worthwhile jump to do. | + | ;Loop Jump:A variation on the ramp jump, which takes place inside a loop.

| ;Corner Avoidance:Sometimes, when you go fast across a stage you find corners that stop you. You can avoid many of them just by tapping the opposite direction of your advance before touching a corner. | | ;Corner Avoidance:Sometimes, when you go fast across a stage you find corners that stop you.
