Spin Dash

The Spin Dash is a technique used in some video games, like Sonic the Hedgehog, to accelerate a character quickly from a standstill. The player quickly spins the character into a compact, rolling form by holding down a button, then releases it to launch forward at high speed. This move allows for rapid acceleration without needing a long running start, making it useful for navigating levels more efficiently and avoiding obstacles. It combines timing, direction control, and quick button presses, giving players a strategic tool for movement and speed mastery.
