18 Most Iconic Signature Moves In Video Game History

4. Sonic's Spin Dash - Sonic The Hedgehog

There was something about holding down and hitting the charge button for Sonic's spin dash that just let you know sh*t was about to go down. Loop-de-loops could be darted around in seconds, rings collected in their abundance - and even entire levels could be clocked in seconds once you knew the layout. Sonic was at his high-octane best in the 2D realm, and as the biggest appeal to the character was making him go as fast as possible, revving up this ability felt like unleashing the world's most powerful bottle rocket every single time.
