Make sure you click the green flag twice! Spade controlls a little differently than Sonic. While he can't perform a spin dash, he does have other merits. Pressing X will allow him to use a projectile attack. In air, this allows him to gain a little extra height. Pressing C lets him use the Flash Dash, as I like to call it. The Flash Dash gives Spade a short boost of speed that carries his momentum forward as he runs. The gauge in the top left tracks the amount of energy he has, and a full gauge means his Flash Dash is prepared. And of course, arrows move Spade in each respective direction, and Z makes him jump.
