Super Sonic

Super Sonic is Sonic's best-known alternate form, usually earned when he has all the game's Chaos Emeralds and 50 rings. Super Sonic is inferior to Hyper Sonic, which in turn is inferior to Ultra Sonic and Solar Sonic (which have only been seen in the Archie Sonic comics). While in Super Form, Sonic is invincible, loses 1 ring every few seconds (amount is random each time, but in the games it's set at 1 or 2 seconds). Sonic can also fly while in super form.

In the Fleetway comic strips, Super Sonic is also evil, presumably because of the Chaos Emeralds.

How to get Super Sonic in the game

 * Sonic Adventure 2/Sonic Adventure 2 Battle: Instead of Sonic collecting rings, both Sonic and Shadow the Hedgehog attain their super forms, Super Sonic and Super Shadow, through the power of the seven Chaos emeralds that were collected by Rouge during the game (and one that Robotnik tricked away from Tails).
 * Sonic Heroes: At the end of the Last story, Sonic attains Super Sonic form, and takes Team Sonic off to fight Metal Overlord.
 * Sonic Riders: Acheive a gold medal in all of Jet's, Wave's, and Storm's missions in mission mode, which is unlocked by completing the Babylon story mode.
 * Sonic Adventure/Sonic Adventure DX Directors Cut: After beating every story mode Sonic uses the chaos emeralds obtained through story mode to transform and combat Perfect Chaos.
 * Sonic Rush: When you beat Sonic and Blaze's story, Sonic and Blaze transforms to super form & battle Dr. Eggman and Eggman Nega.
