The Homing Attack is a special move for Sonic the Hedgehog that allows the character to swerve during a spin jump, automatically zeroing in and striking a nearby enemy. It was first featured in Sonic 3D: Flickies' Island, where the instruction manual called it the Sonic Blast Attack; not an intrinsic ability of Sonic at this point, it required the Gold Shield power-up to use.
The technique became a standard move in Sonic Adventure and has been included in all 3D and several 2D Sonic games since. Usually activated by pressing 
in mid-jump; if no enemies are within range, use this move to have Sonic perform a jump dash (in Sonic 3D Blast, Sonic would instead go straight down).
