Hyper Sonic

Hyper Sonic is a super transformation of Sonic the Hedgehog that is obtained by collecting all seven Super Emeralds, which are more powerful versions of the Chaos Emeralds that have been enhanced with energy from the Master Emerald. To trigger the transformation, Sonic must also collect 50 rings and do a double jump. Or, based on recent Super Sonic transformations, Sonic now may only need to merely absorb this power as he absorbs the chaos emeralds power.

Hyper Sonic has all the benefits of Super Sonic, such as invincibility, improved speed, and greater jumping abilities, but Hyper Sonic also has some improved abilities such as the ability to breath underwater, further increased speed, power, and a double jump attack that will destroy all enemies within the direct vicinity, excluding bosses, and is referred to by some as "Sonic Boom" or a "Hyper Flash" however, the former is not an official name, and it is unconfirmed if the latter is.

Hyper Sonic's name comes from the term hypersonic, which is a speed above supersonic. Thus far Hyper Sonic's only appearance has been Sonic 3 &amp; Knuckles. In Sonic 3 &amp; Knuckles, Hyper Sonic looked very similar to Super Sonic sharing the upturned spikes, however Hyper Sonic flashed all 7 colors of the Chaos/Super Emeralds and had large flashing sparks (similar to the invincibility item). This is Sonic's most powerful form. This may be the only form he can achieve that Shadow cannot (except Excalibur-Sonic, and Darkspine Sonic, for obvious reasons).
