Item Box/List

This page acts as a list of power-ups in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. The most common power-ups through the series found in Item Boxes are the Super Ring, Shield, Invincible, Power Sneakers, and 1-Up, although their effects might vary depending on the game they appear.

Power-ups without Item Boxes
In the Competition Mode of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles, power-ups that are not contained in Item Boxes were introduced. Instead, they could be collected simply by touching them. Such power-ups when first introduced were initially held inside small floating bubbles during Competition Mode, allowing faster usage of them during races.

Subsequent games like Sonic Unleashed, Sonic Colors and Sonic Generations would later pick up this concept for more classic and common power-ups, but without anything encapsulating them.
