Description[]

The Hammer Rush is similar to Drop Dash, where performing it, Amy Rose will execute to rapidly a Jumping Hammer Attack as she drop down to the ground, upon where they will automatically perform the Hammer Attack while running, allowing her to destroy enemies and breakable walls that the Spin Attack can normally destroy.

Unlike Spin Attack, Amy can change direction while running, and it can be nullified by jumping or by releasing the jump button.
