Sweet Roll

The Sweet Roll (スウィートロール, Swīto Rōru^?) is a recurring move in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is the Long Wind Jump technique used by Cream the Rabbit.

Description

When performing the Sweet Roll, Cream launches herself forward in midair while twirling, thereby increasing her horizontal speed to gain distance.

In gameplay, the Sweet Roll is useful for crossing larger areas when sent flying into the air or preserving Cream's momentum when falling to the ground. Additionally, the move will not cancel the momentum Cream receives from the Boost Mode. Unlike other Long Wind Jump maneuvers however, the Sweet Roll does not let Cream damage foes in her flight path, leaving her vulnerable to enemy collision. The move can also only be pulled off after Cream has been launched into midair by gimmicks like the Spring or Ramp.
