V. Maximum Overdrive

V. Maximum Overdrive, also known as V. Maximum Overdrive Attack, is an attack used by Metal Sonic in an attempt to kill Sonic. When Metal Sonic's circuits are overloaded with power, he releases a multitude of blue-white sparks which surround him as he moves. While it is active, Metal Sonic can reportedly penetrate any substance. However, the V. Maximum Overdrive attack cannot be sustained for extended periods of time because of its unfavorable cost performance and potential to destroy Metal Sonic himself.
