Sonic Origins: How to do the Drop Dash

Sonic Mania was such a fantastic addition to the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise that it wiped out and replaced the dreadful Sonic the Hedgehog 4. Not only that, but Sega was so impressed with the work that they brought Headcannon back to aid with the re-release of Sonic 3 & Knuckles in Sonic Origins. All of these vintage Sonic games support the Drop Dash move, which first appeared in Sonic Mania. Here's how to go about it.

How to use Drop Dash in Sonic Origins

In all of Sonic Origins' games, using the Drop Dash is as straightforward as it was in Sonic Mania. Simply jump into the air and hold the jump button down until you reach the ground. Sonic will change into a solid blue ball after you hear a rev-up sound. You will swiftly start off in the direction you were facing when you jumped when you hit the ground.

Important notes to keep in mind: only Sonic can do the Drop Dash because Tails and Knuckles will soar and glide if you hold down their jump buttons. You must also be playing the game on Anniversary Mode to be able to use Drop Dash, as the move was not accessible in the original versions of these titles. When you're stuck in your tracks, the Drop Dash is another technique to obtain a rapid boost of speed. You may also chain it after jumping off foes to clear the path and fast go in the right direction.
