The Drop Dash is a technique used by Sonic in Sonic Mania and by Classic Sonic in Sonic Forces, which is best described as a "midair Spin Dash". By pressing and holding any jump button in midair after jumping, Sonic will charge up the move, and will instantly dash off in a short burst upon landing. However, the move cannot be performed if Sonic takes damage before landing, or if an elemental Shield is active. If the move is executed by Super Sonic, a mini-earthquake is set off and the boost will be greater.
By collecting enough medals in Sonic Mania's Bonus Stage, this move can be replaced with the Super Peel-Out or the Insta-Shield by accessing the Secrets menu when starting a "No Save" game originally, but in v1.04, the other moves can now be played in a saved game. You can also use all moves at once by putting in a cheat code in the secret level select.
According to The Taxman in an interview, the Drop Dash was designed with new players in mind.
In early 2018, Sonic The Hedgehog(Sega Ages) was announced for the Nintendo Switch that will add new features including the Drop Dash.
