Eye of Solaris

Eyes of Solaris are a type of obstacle, which are only time seen floating around in End of the World and during the battle with Solaris in Sonic the Hedgehog (2006). The eyes of Solaris are dark colored orbs with sparkling and vortex effects seen around on them. There are two different variations about these obstacles as dark blue and dark red, which both are seen functioning differently during the game.

Eyes of Solaris are extremely dangerous obstacles, which the player has to avoid with every playable character, that he/she has to use in order to clear End of the World and collect all seven Chaos Emeralds.

Description
Eyes of Solaris are everywhere in each part of the End of the World, as they are mostly main obstacles seen in the stage. If the player touches any types of these obstacles, it can suck the playable character inside of it, which is instant death to the player even with having Rings. Both variations can also appear out of nowhere at front of the player. It is extremely hard to run past these obstacles with slower characters, such as Silver and Amy Rose. Strangely, some of them are seen creating odd background coloring at the stage.

Dark blue eyes are mostly seen ones, which try to suck every possible objects from the stage, including breakable objects and mostly the playable character itself can be easily sucked in as well. Dark red eyes are seen floating as well, but instead of sucking inside objects, they will throw different types of Containers, which are either wooden or explosive types of ones, which can damage the player once hitting on the playable character. Unlike regular enemies, the player can't destroy them himself, but if there is ornate switch from Kingdom Valley seen at the stage, it can wipe out all eyes from the stage near by. In the battle with Solaris if you looked closely in the place that the Rocks come from you can see the eyes of solaris that it  aimed the purple rocks. You cannot destroy it But you need to move away from the rocks that thrown at you and if you take a damage from it rocks you will lose some Rings.
