Character Walk on a Wall? (E.g Sonic running around a loop)

I think the approach of transitioning to and from an animation might be the best approach here. You can decrement a variable if the player stops pressing forward, and switch back to the standard player control to break out of the animation when the player lets go of the controls at the top of the loop, or perhaps just isn’t going fast enough.

But can you control a player controller with matinee and instantly let them have the control back? I didn’t think this was possible.

EDIT: Just tried this with Matinee; It won’t let me hide / remove / edit the player. I tried animating the player pawn but nope, wouldn’t even let me add it into Matinee. Am I doing something wrong there? I tried deleting the player, hiding the player and using an animated static mesh of the character running over the loop; But the player just won’t hide / remove / move, the static mesh does, but the camera in matinee and even in the player won’t respond to what I’m trying to do.

EDIT EDIT: I noticed Sonic GDK/UDK managed to pull this off in UDK; But I didn’t use UDK and I can’t find where they would’ve set their loop to attach to their Sonic. I tried looking in their Kismet, but couldn’t find anything and I tried looking through the UnrealScript, but their pawn is just a regular pawn.
