Body Press
First seen: Sonic Heroes (2003)
User: Big the Cat
Type: Attack

The Body PressMedia:SonicHeroes GC US manual.pdf (ボディープレス) is one of Big the Cat's attacks in Sonic Heroes.

Overview

While jumping in Power Formation, pressing the (GC)/ (PS2)/ (Xbox) button while Amy and Cream are not on Big's shoulders will make Big come crashing down with his entire body weight, allowing him to squash enemies with his belly. Upon impacting the ground, Big will create a damaging shockwave and bounce back up in the air, allowing the attack to be used consecutively. Getting hit or using Umbrella Descent will cancel the attack.

The Body Press can also be used to smash glass floors and stacks of containers, or break ducts. In Egg Fleet, the Body Press is essential to activate cannons that will lift the player to a higher point. If the player switches to Speed Formation during the attack, Amy will get a quick burst of speed when Big lands.

The counterpart of Body Press is Vector the Crocodile's Hammer Down. Knuckles and Omega do not have any variant of this move.
