Metal Madness Action Guide

>> Bullet Dash [AIR]
• Metal charges up as the button is held
• Releasing the button at max charge--indicated by an electric field appearing around Metal--shoots him in the direction the d-pad is held (with no directional input, the move is cancelled)
• Charging too long causes an overheat
• Metal can bounce off walls and the floor during a Bullet Dash if the option is enabled
• In "Focus" mode, Metal will come to a halt in midair while charging
• In "Flow" mode, he will keep moving with slowed momentum

>> V. Overdrive [GROUND]
• Metal enters a Boost-like state as long as the button is held, accelerating rapidly while defeating enemies and breaking spikes
• Only usable on the ground
• By default, costs rings to use (about five per second?)

>> Instant Spindash [GROUND]
• Initiates a spindash
• Can be used while Metal is running or rolling
• Cannot be revved

>> Instant Peelout [GROUND]
• Initiates a super peelout
• Charges much faster than Sonic's version of the move
• Can be used while running but not rolling
• Charging too long causes an overheat

>> Vanish Dash [AIR]
• Metal instantly disappears
• He will stay vanished for as long as the button is held
• Metal reappears a moderate distance away in whatever direction the d-pad is held (with no input, he does it in place)
• Can be done up to twice before landing

>> Hover [AIR]
• Metal uses his thruster to significantly slow his descent
• Costs rings to sustain

>> Discharge [AIR]
• A variant of Hover where Metal surrounds his body with a large electric field during his descent, defeating enemies on contact
• Costs rings to sustain

>> Hover Dash [AIR]
• Metal stops in place to charge up as the button is held
• Releasing the button at max charge--indicated by an electric field appearing around Metal--shoots him forward at great speed
• Unlike Bullet Dash, can only be aimed horizontally, but is much faster and breaks spikes
• Charging too long causes an overheat

>> Zap Scrap [GROUND/AIR]
• Metal releases a sphere of electricity that flies forward a moderate distance, defeating enemies on contact

>> Super Spin [AIR]
• Metal boosts himself into the air a decent distance before curling up and dropping rapidly, entering a mid-power spindash upon hitting the ground
• This is essentially a dropdash with a built-in double jump
