Orange Wisp

The Orange Wisp appears in both the Wii and DS versions of Sonic Colors. It can give Sonic is the Orange Rocket power, the third Color Power encountered in the game. It can blast Sonic up to tremendous heights at high speeds, and once he is at maximum height, Sonic goes into a skydiving descent. The player can charge up the Rocket Power, with the downside that charging for too long will make the power wear off. It cannot be used in 3D.

The Orange Wisp also appears in Sonic Generations, able to be used by Modern Sonic. Unlike the original game, Sonic doesn't skydive when he descends. It is also controllable, meaning the player can move left or right while in the Orange Rocket Transformation.

Appearance
The Orange Wisp has a rocket-shaped body, with two green eyes lined up vertically, similar to Refreshinator. It is the only Wisp other than the Green Hover not to have tentacles but three sphere-like structures on its underside. When Sonic absorbs it, he becomes a living rocket, not looking like Sonic at all, and has two mean-looking eyes and the Wisp's color.

Abilities
As the Orange Rocket, Sonic can rocket off into the sky. Sonic can also charge up to gain extra height off his transformation. If he gets enough height after the transformation ends, Sonic will skydive.

In Sonic Generations, the player has limited control of the Orange Rocket. Also, in Sonic Generations, Sonic does not skydive.
