The {{Nihongo|'''Spin Jump'''<ref name="StH2US"/>|回転ジャンプ<ref name="StH2JP"/>|Kaiten Janpu}}, also called the {{Nihongo|'''Super Sonic Spin Attack'''<ref name="StH1US"/>|回転ジャンプ<ref name="StH1JP"/>|Kaiten Janpu|lit. "Spin Jump"}}, the {{Nihongo|'''Spin Attack'''<ref name="SCDUS"/>|回転ジャンプ<ref name="SCDJP"/>|Kaiten Janpu|lit. "Spin Jump"}} or just {{Nihongo|'''Jump'''<ref name="SChaosUS"/>|回転ジャンプ<ref name="SChaosJP"/>|Kaiten Janpu|lit. "Spin Jump"}}, is a move and game mechanic that appears in the [[Sonic the Hedgehog series|''Sonic the Hedgehog'' series]]. It is a mid-air variation of the [[Spin Attack]], where the user curls up and jumps into enemies or obstacles, dealing damage in doing so. Since its introduction, the Spin Jump has become one of the most basic attacks in the series, and arguably the most common as well given that almost every playable character has been able to perform it at some point, this is to make a character play less differently.

==Description==
[[File:WhiteIsland ACT1 007D.png|thumb|left|225px|[[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]] using the Spin Jump on a pot, from the [[Xbox 360]]/[[PlayStation 3]] version of ''[[Sonic Unleashed]]''.]]
When performing the Spin Jump, the user jumps up into the air and curls into a ball, like when performing the [[Spin Attack]]. The user then starts rolling around midair at high speed. However, certain users have different performances or variants of the Spin Jump, such as when [[Miles "Tails" Prower|Tails]] and [[Cream the Rabbit|Cream]] perform the Spin Jump, their twin tails and ears, respectively, can be seen hanging from behind their curling ball form. Also, in ''[[Knuckles' Chaotix]]'', when [[Espio the Chameleon|Espio]] and [[Vector the Crocodile|Vector]] are performing the Spin Jump, Espio [[Axel Jump|whirls around like a tornado]] and Vector curls into a wheel.

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 [[Zone]]s, such as [[Item Box]]es, barriers and certain floors. However, it does not affect certain enemies that are clad in protection, such as [[Spikes (Badnik)|Spikes]], or wielding weapons. These will instead damage the player. When the playable character transforms into a [[Super transformation|Super State]], the Spin Jump will usually increase in both height and speed.

The Spin Jump has a certain mechanic dubbed as "Badnik Bounce",<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vCTZ8Fr6QQ|date=28 July 2022|title=Sonic Origins: Speed Strats - Speedrunning (feat. Argick)|work=YouTube|accessdate=28 July 2022}}</ref> 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. The player is able to do this by pressing the jump button down until the player hits the targeted enemy or [[Item Box]]. The longer the player keeps the jump button down, the higher will the playable character will bounce. 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. Outside the [[Sega Mega Drive]] games, this technique is functional in the ''[[Sonic Adventure|Sonic]] [[Sonic Adventure 2|Adventure]]'' titles, the ''[[Sonic Advance|Sonic]] [[Sonic Advance 2|Adv]][[Sonic Advance 3|ance]]'' series, the [[Nintendo 3DS]] [[Sonic Generations (Nintendo 3DS)|version]] of ''[[Sonic Generations]]'', though only for [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Classic Sonic]], and ''[[Sonic Mania]]''.

[[File:Score Increases!.png|thumb|right|225px|More [[point]]s are earned based how many enemies are destroyed after doing the Spin Jump, from [[Sonic the Hedgehog (1991)|''Sonic the Hedgehog'' (16-bit)]].]]
In the first mainline games for the Sega Mega Drive, depending on how many enemies the player destroys with a single Spin Jump, the [[point]]s that are received from defeating each enemy increases. 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. 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.

In the early games of the [[Sonic the Hedgehog series|''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. 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 [[flying|fly]] or [[glide]].

To perform the Spin Jump in gameplay, the player usually has to press the jump button. To control the direction the Spin Jump is moving in, the player must use the movement controls.

Notably, Knuckles cannot jump as high as Sonic, Tails or Amy with the Spin Jump.

In ''[[Sonic Advance]]'', the Spin Jump can be performed by [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]], [[Miles "Tails" Prower|Tails]], and [[Knuckles the Echidna|Knuckles]]. [[Amy Rose|Amy]], on the other hand, can only do a normal jump, making her gameplay devoid of the move's offensive traits. In this game, the Spin Jump is referred to simply as the {{Nihongo|'''Jump'''<ref>''[[Sonic Advance]]'' ([[Game Boy Advance]]) United States instruction booklet, pg. 6.</ref>|ジャンプ<ref>''[[Sonic Advance]]'' ([[Game Boy Advance]]) Japanese instruction booklet, pg. 11.</ref>|Janpu}}.

In this game, the Spin Jump is once again referred to as the {{Nihongo|'''Jump'''<ref>''[[Sonic Advance 2]]'' ([[Game Boy Advance]]) United States instruction booklet, pg. 6.</ref>|ジャンプ<ref>''[[Sonic Advance 2]]'' ([[Game Boy Advance]]) Japanese instruction booklet, pg. 9.</ref>|Janpu}}. Notably, when Cream uses a Spin Jump, her ears flutter behind her.

To perform the Spin Jump in gameplay, the player just has to press {{A Button (GBA)}}.

====''Sonic Advance 3''====
[[file:Adv3 spinjump sonic.gif|left]]
In ''[[Sonic Advance 3]]'', the Spin Jump is a move that all the five main playable characters are able to perform. In this game, it is referred to as the {{Nihongo|'''Spin Jump'''<ref>''[[Sonic Advance 3]]'' ([[Game Boy Advance]]) United States instruction booklet, pg. 8.</ref>|スピンジャンプ<ref>''[[Sonic Advance 3]]'' ([[Wii U]] Virtual Console) Japanese instruction booklet, pg. 14.</ref>|Supin Janpu}}.

In gameplay, those that have [[Amy Rose|Amy]] as their accompanying partner in the [[Zone]]s can only jump without going into the Spin Jump, like how Amy does in ''[[Sonic Advance]]''. To be able to perform the Spin Jump, everyone but Amy must have be partnered up with anyone else. Conversely, Amy can only perform the Spin Jump when she has [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]] as her partner. For the player to perform the Spin Jump in gameplay, they have to press {{A Button (GBA)}}.

===''Sonic Heroes''===
[[File:Casino Park.png|thumb|225px|right|[[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]] and [[Knuckles the Echidna|Knuckles]] using the Spin Jump, from ''[[Sonic Heroes]]''.]]
In ''[[Sonic Heroes]]'', the Spin Jump is performed by all playable characters, which includes [[Team Sonic]], [[Team Dark]], [[Team Rose]], and [[Team Chaotix]]. In this game, the Spin Jump is referred to as the {{Nihongo|'''Jump'''<ref>''[[Sonic Heroes]]'' ([[PlayStation 2]]) United States instruction booklet, pg. 14.</ref>|ジャンプ<ref>''[[Sonic Heroes]]'' ([[PlayStation 2]]) Japanese instruction booklet, pg. 2.</ref>|Janpu}}.

When performing the Spin Jump in this game, each playable character is surrounded by a sphere of their respective aura. In gameplay, the Spin Jump deals one hit worth of damage to weak or unprotected enemies. Additionally, using it on enemies allows the character to bounce continuously on them and deal more damage until the enemy retaliates. Furthermore, depending on which character is the leader, the player can follow the Spin Jump up with a more useful maneuver or offensive ability. Again, the [[super transformation]] does not enhance the Spin Jump's range. It should be noted that when attacking [[Metal Madness]] with the [[Homing Attack]], the player will bounce back in the Spin Jump formation. 

To perform this move in gameplay, the player must press {{A Button (GameCube)}}/{{Cross Button (PS)}}/{{A Button (Xbox)}}.

===''Shadow the Hedgehog''===
[[File:Dolphin 2015-07-16 20-22-44-409.jpg|thumb|225px|right|[[Shadow the Hedgehog|Shadow]] using the Spin Jump, from ''[[Shadow the Hedgehog (game)|Shadow the Hedgehog]]''.]]

In ''Shadow the Hedgehog'', the Spin Jump's animation is the same as in ''[[Sonic Heroes]]''. Trying to use it continuously on strong enemies will only make the player fall back on the ground. While the Spin Jump cannot take out shielded enemies, it can destroy the shields if used enough times. By [[Strafe|strafing]], the player can also take more control of the Spin Jump, but at the cost of losing some jumping height.

To perform the Spin Jump in gameplay, the player has to press {{A Button (Xbox)}}/{{Cross Button (PS)}}/{{A Button (GameCube)}}.

===''Sonic Rush'' series===
====''Sonic Rush''====
In ''[[Sonic Rush]]'', the Spin Jump appears as a part of [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]]'s moveset. The games' other playable character, [[Blaze the Cat|Blaze]], uses her own equivalent to the Spin Jump, called the [[Axel Jump]].
