Darkspine Sonic

"If this is your world, then it's a world that I don't want any part of!"

- Darkspine Sonic

Darkspine Sonic (ダークスパインソニック) is one of Sonic's super transformations, appearing in Sonic and the Secret Rings. Rather than use the Chaos Emeralds, he uses at least 3 World Rings to transform. He is playable in the final battle against Alf-Layla-wa-Layla, an enhanced form of Erazor Djinn.

In this form, Sonic has increased strength and the ability to fly, along with his ring powers Time Break and Speed Break. His attacks are also more close-combat based, as opposed to the boosting and energy moves that Super Sonic uses. He does not lose rings gradually like Super Sonic, but he can lose rings from being hit. His Soul Gauge and Ring Counter are upgraded to the maximum.

Appearance


His quills become purple in color with two golden rings around his wrists and two around his ankles. His gloves and shoes become purple, like his skin. Two white lines come down from the middle of his forehead. His skin turns pale white, and his irises, pupils and mouth disappear. Also, his voice has a slight change, becoming more demonic, but maintaining Sonic's pitch. Darkspine Sonic's personality is a lot more sinister and violent due to the fact that Sonic only absorbed the World Rings of Rage, Hatred, and Sadness, which are all negative emotions.

Trivia

 * This form seems to resemble Dark Sonic from Sonic X. Both are darker, more sinister forms provoked by negative emotions.
 * Darkspine Sonic is one of three forced Sonic transformations, the others being Sonic the Werehog and Excalibur Sonic.
 * Darkspine Sonic can be considered the second form of Sonic that was not attained using regular Chaos Emeralds and the first in-game transformation that uses negative energy.
 * It can be believed that Darkspine Sonic is currently the only incomplete super form, as he only used three of the seven World Rings. Thus, it can only be assumed that by using all 7 world rings, Darkspine Sonic will be at his strongest (and maybe even gain invincibility).
 * As Darkspine Sonic it is possible that he has the power to control fire, seeing as how his fists and feet ImagesCAMWGSW7.jpgs into flames or explode when attacks Alf-Layla-wa-Layla and including his fiery aura.
 * Darkspine Sonic seems to be more popular than Excalibur Sonic, which is the form he takes in Sonic and the Black Knight.
 * Darkspine Sonic's voice seems to be the inspiration for the voice of Sonic the Werehog in Sonic Unleashed, as both grunt when they are speaking. His voice also sounds identical to Jet the Hawk at times.
 * When transforming, Sonic was shown to be in pain, making this the first time Sonic has been in pain while undergoing a transformation which might be because the World Rings he absorbed were green (hatred), red (rage) and purple (sadness).
 * Darkspine Sonic is also very similar to a Sonic Cameo, 'Zodick the Hellhog' as he appeared in lllbleed.
