On to the second Sonic-only stage. Best example of the lovely asthetics of Heroes. No major glitches, bugs, or slick moves really exploited here, however:

The Speed Dash:
Pressing the B button while as Sonic can have one of three effects depending upon your current situation and how long you hold the button for.
1) Tap B - Sonic slides. That's about it. Temporary invincibility is granted to your immediate area, along with a small attack radius. Good for blasting through enemies you couldn't care less about.
2) Hold B - Prep for Rocket Accel. This is explained in the tutorial, so I won't go into it much. It acts like the Blue Tornado and a Level 3 Homing Attack in creating a "wind" graphic, and the many uses of wind are demonstrated here. Also, your hitbox grows with your attack radius, which means you can collect rings otherwise out of reach.
3) Slightly holding B - The Speed Dash. Sonic immediately dashes forward at top speed, no matter your current speed. Great for speedruns, as well as a couple of jumps, as I'll get into next video.

Tapping B repeatedly gets a strange mix of all three, which produces a couple of odd effects in semi-scripted areas (like that one loop I had "trouble" on in Seaside Hill). Definately warrents some fun experimentation.
