Spring Jump
Spring Jump is Sonic's Up Special Move in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, which causes a spring from the Sonic series to immediately appear underneath him, shooting Sonic up a great vertical distance. When used on the ground, the spring remains in place for a while, allowing other characters to use it, too. If this move is used in the air, the spring falls downwards, acting similar to a projectile, making it effective for edge guarding. After using this move, Sonic still retains the ability to use normal aerial attacks and air dodges, but will be unable to use Special Attacks until he touches the ground. Additionally, this move does not allow Sonic to grab any ledges onstage(I.E. auto-sweetspot) until he is finished gaining vertical distance.
