− | The '''W Kaiten Attack''' (commonly known as the '''Insta-Shield''') is a special move first used by Sonic in ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog 3]]''. Pressing jump twice generates a brief flash which extends Sonic's attack radius and renders him temporarily invincible. "Kaiten" is the Japanese word for spin or rotation.

− | This move is not used in any 3D games, due to the fact the "jump, then jump while midair" move was changed to the [[Jump Dash]], or if enemies/items are nearby, the [[Homing Attack]]. It was last used in the ''[[Sonic Advance]]'' series.

| |
− | * Performing a W Kaiten with a [[water shield]] makes Sonic bounce in his bubble.
| |
− | * Performing a W Kaiten with a [[lightning shield]] makes Sonic jump twice, with sparks flying off of the shield.
| |
