Ivory Lightning

The Ivory Lightning (アイボリー・ライトニング) is a transformation used by Sonic the Hedgehog in the Nintendo 3DS version of Sonic Lost World. It is the Color Power Sonic gains when absorbing a Ivory Wisp and its Hyper-go-on. While in this form, Sonic turns into a lightning bolt.

Appearance
As the Ivory Lightning, Sonic's entire body turns into a large version of his own head that is covered entirely in straw skin. However, the version of Sonic's head that he turns into has nearly no facial features, such as Sonic's muzzle, ear canals or nose, except for his eyes, which have lost their pupils and have turned yellow. Also, on the back of the Ivory Lightning, most of Sonic's quills have merged together to form a zig-zagging figure resembling a lightning bolt.

Powers and abilities
When transformed in the Ivory Lightning, Sonic gains nearly the exact same properties as that of a real-life lightning bolt, allowing him to move around as a living bolt of electricity at lightning speed, with enough force to electrocute and penetrate the robot armor possessed by Eggman's robots, and can also attract nearby rings.

In line with his lightning bolt properties, Sonic also obtains electrokinetic abilities in this form, which let Sonic manipulate electricity. By channeling his electricity as the Ivory Lightning, Sonic can form treads of electricity that he can use to either electrocute his enemies or connect himself to coils.

Gameplay
In gameplay, the player can only use the Ivory Lightning while Sonic is in possession of an Ivory Wisp. Transforming into the Ivory Lightning will cause the energy gauge to start depleting and once it runs out, Sonic will revert back to normal.

When transformed into the Ivory Lightning, any enemy that the Ivory Lightning comes into contact are instantly destroyed. The player can also attack enemies and obstacles quickly by connecting to the target that have a reticle on it with a tread of electricity, and then ramming into the target at high speed, much like the Homing Attack. When this form of attack connects with an enemy, the Ivory Lightning lets out an electrical surge that destroys all nearby enemies as well.

In gameplay, the Ivory Lightning can also connect with and hang onto coils that float in midair by targeting them with threads of electricity, much like the player would target an enemy. While hanging onto the coil, the player will swing around it, both vertical and horizontal, until the player releases the coil.

While transformed into the Ivory Lightning, all nearby Rings will be attracted to the player.

Trivia

 * In terms of design, the Ivory Lightning Color Power has a similar design to the Cyan Laser Color Power.
 * In this form, Sonic seems to attract Rings and able to double jump, which is very similar to the effects that the Lightning Shield grants the players in some games.
