The Super Peel Out first appeared in Sonic CD in 1993 as a faster alternative to the spin dash, letting Sonic rev in place before bursting forward with his legs blurred in a figure eight. Sonic Mania, released in 2017, brought the move back as an unlockable ability and revived its distinctive revving sound for a new generation of players. Clips and GIFs of the animation spread through gaming communities, and editors began lifting the audio alone to punctuate any sudden departure or high speed gag in fan videos and memes.
