RUSH TRICKS
This mod is a remake of the Sonic Rush tricks system for Sonic Adventure! (minus the boost gauge).
While playing as Sonic, hit a spring, trampoline, jump ramp, etc. to perform cool tricks in the air and earn points.
You can combo your tricks to grow the points that are earned!This mod can be coupled with Blaze The Cat (Dreamcast-Style) to perform tricks as Blaze
(Find blaze mod on Gamebana https://gamebanana.com/mods/618729)
*Trick points added to actual player score is disable in the config by default so as to not jack with anyone's personal high scores.
Sonic voice lines, effects and animations will play unless the mod loader detects that Blaze the Cat (Dreamcast Style) is enabled, otherwise Blaze's voice, effects, and animations will play.
*Rush tricks is not functional with the Multiplayer mod.
(Warning!) Please check your mod manager's sound settings to make sure that the game volume is not too low. The custom sound effects do not adjust with the mod manager's sounds settings and may be too loud if the game is too quiet.

Functionality:
Tricks can be performed in mid-air after hitting a trick object (springs, trampoline, jump ramp, etc.)
Pressing the A button performs a Basic Trick. (B-button of chosen in config)
After performing two or more Basic Tricks, pressing the B button performs a Finishing Trick. (A-button of chosen in config).
Pressing the Z button (Right Bumper) will perform a Vertical Aerial Trick, causing the player to get a height boost.
Pressing the L button (Left Bumper) while direction the left joystick will perform a Horizontal Aerial Trick, allowing the player to launch forward in the direction they are facing.
*****************************
Technical (Read if interested):
Tricks have a 15 frame buffer period between each other.
Blaze's Vertical Aerial trick gives a much higher boost than Sonic's, as it does in Sonic Rush.
Blaze's Horizontal Aerial trick will lock the players movement temporarily to keep Blaze launching in a straight line.
Aerial tricks cannot be performed if the player is under the motion of an air spring (movement is locked by an angled spring).
Only one Aerial trick can be performed in a trick combo.
Trick animations are just displayed using the cutscene animation function.
Basic tricks and Aerial tricks have a base reward of 200 points, but chaining them will apply a multiplier which increased by 0.5 each time one of these tricks are performed.
Finishing tricks will reward 900 points if only two Basic Tricks have been performed, and 1000 points otherwise.
Trick combos are broken if the player touches the ground, gets damaged, or interacts with various level objects.
Trick combos will also be broken if the points displayed on the screen disappear.
Every trick performed will reward 1 ring, besides the finishing trick which rewards 5 rings.
This is a really fun mod to play around with, great job!
There's only one addition I'd like to see if possible and that is to add this to Metal Sonic as well, you can use tricks with him but when you do it he turns into Sonic for the duration.
This next one's a nitpick and you really don't need to add this if you don't want to, but I kinda wish that Sonic had voice lines from the Japenese version of Rush when he tricks with the Japanese dub on, but it's really no big deal otherwise.
Misc Note: 'Z' and 'C' are the buttons used if using input mod.
Readme says 'Z' and 'L'
