Propeller Shoes
From Sonic Retro
The Propeller Shoes[1], known in Japan as the Screw Shoes (スクリューシューズ)[2], are a Monitor power-up found exclusively in Sonic the Hedgehog Triple Trouble and usable only by Sonic the Hedgehog.
Overview
The Propeller Shoes are essentially the aquatic variant of the Rocket Shoes in that they are a pair of sneakers with engines on them, and whereas the Rocket Shoes are found in various Zones, these shoes only appear in Tidal Plant Zone when playing as Sonic. When Sonic breaks open a monitor containing the shoes, he gains the ability to swim at high speeds underwater for eight seconds. During this time, the player can move Sonic in eight directions using the D-Pad. Should Sonic bump into anything hazardous, he will instantly lose the shoes.
Tails doesn't get to use the Propeller Shoes, as all monitors containing the power-up become Power Sneakers. He makes up for that by being able to use the Sea Fox instead.
