Excalibur-Sonic

Excalibur-Sonic is one of Sonic's super forms, appearing in Sonic and the Black Knight. Rather than Chaos Emeralds, he uses the power of the transformed Caliburn the Sword and the three Sacred Swords. He is playable in the final battle against the Dark Queen, an enhanced form of Merlina the Sorceress corrupted by the scabbard of Excalibur.

In this form, Sonic has increased strength and the ability to fly, similar to Darkspine Sonic, along with Soul Gauge powers. He also gains a move similar to Sonic Unleashed ' s Quick Step, allowing him to roll to the right or left to evade attacks. His attacks are also more close-combat based, as opposed to the boosting and energy moves that Super Sonic uses. In addition, Excalibur has the power to deflect projectile attacks with a properly timed swing.

He dons shining gold armor covering his entire body (except for his tail, for some reason) and carries Excalibur in his right hand. A red cape runs down the back of his armor.

This super form's song is With Me when battling against the Dark Queen.



Trivia

 * Excalibur-Sonic is known by some fans as "Golden Knight Sonic".
 * Excalibur-Sonic is the first super transformation where Sonic does not physically change. He dons Golden Armor in this form, while in all others his fur changes color.
 * His abilities and armor are similar to that of Super Sonic, due to Sonic's fur turning gold and the ability to fly is given to him when he is in the super form.
 * This is the second conclusively forced transformation: The first being the Sonic the Werehog form, while Darkspine is debatable.
 * Interestingly, Excalibur-Sonic's visor is actually gray/silver but during the transformation sequence due to the lighting and a gold background his visor appears gold.
 * Rubies adorn Sonic and Excalibur, whilst the armor's main colour is gold. This may be a visual que to Super Sonic, who is gold with red eyes.
 * While Sonic returns to normal after the fight, it is not shown if he voluntarily powered down or if the power of this form ran out on its own. Although, since his rings didn't deplete over time during the battle, some might assume that he powered down willingly (which is somewhat similar to Darkspine Sonic.)
