Rocket Accel

The Rocket Accel (ロケットアクセル, Roketto Akuseru^?) is a technique that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is a move that grants a Speed Type character a small boost with help from their teammates.

Description

When performing Rocket Accel, the Speed type member of the team rolls into a ball, while the remaining teammates get up behind the Speed type member. Once gathered, the other teammates push the Speed type member forward with extreme force, propelling the Speed type member forward at high speed as a yellow field forms around them, allowing the player to damage enemies caught in the Speed type member's path. Additionally, Rocket Accel can attract nearby Rings, activate switches, and have the same effects as the Tornado Jump when used near poles and enemies.

To perform Rocket Accel in gameplay, the selected team must be in Speed Formation. The player then has to hold // until the teammates have gathered behind the Speed type member and then release it to use Rocket Accel. However, if the player's timing is wrong, the Speed type member will perform their Solo Attack.
