Super Silver

"This is the end! Prepare to meet your doom!"

- Super Silver

Super Silver (スーパーシルバー) is the super transformation of Silver the Hedgehog. So far his first, and only appearance was in Sonic the Hedgehog. In the game after the final level, after being revived, Sonic transforms into Super Sonic and shares his power with Shadow the Hedgehog and Silver the Hedgehog. The three manage to defeat Solaris together. Following the usual super form, Silver's fur turns golden, his eyes becomes red and his quills float.

Appearance
Visual changes to Silver in his super form include a bright golden-yellow color replacing his normally white fur, and his mane becomes a darker yellow color that floats up behind his head. Like Super Sonic and Super Shadow, he has blood red eyes and his quills float, but with only his two back quills pointing up. The teal glow on his gloves, cuffs and boots turns into a bright yellow color as well, and he gains a burning golden aura.

Powers and abilities
While in his Super State, Silver possesses the standard abilities of the common super transformation. He now has the ability to fly without the use of ESP and is invincible towards all attacks, except from the attacks belonging to the strongest beings in the series, such as Solaris. He has also gained an exceptional increase in speed, matching the speed of Super Sonic and Super Shadow and can as well perform dashes to quickly get around while flying. His reflexes are also improved, allowing him to keep up with his upgraded movements and those of his enemies. Though it is never shown, it is safe to assume that Super Silver has increased strength as well, since most characters have increased strength while using super transformation.

The power of Silver's ESP abilities has also been increased, allowing him to use "Shield of Light", where he creates a large shield of telekinetic energy, which can stop all projectiles within the radius and can then throw them back a great distance.

While in his Super state, Super Silver has also gains free access to various Chaos Powers, such as Chaos Control.

Like most other super transformation, Super Silver's weakness is that he needs rings in order to maintain his own super transformation. If he runs out of rings, he will instantly revert back to his normal form.

Trivia

 * Super Silver is the only character who can damage Solaris before its shields are destroyed.
 * Silver has yet to use this Super Form in another game, as well as use it by himself.
 * It is possible that Silver actually knew he had a Super Form, as when he transforms, he isn't astonished. However, neither was Shadow when he transformed for the first time.
 * The artwork of Super Silver on the Sonic Art Assets DVD is almost the same as Silver's official Sonic Rivals 2 artwork. The only differences (other than the color) are that Silver is reaching up with his right hand and that the expression on his mouth is different and his two big quills are sticking up slightly.
 * Super Silver is the only character whose Super Gauge was pre-filled in the Solaris fight.
 * In the scene where Silver transforms in Sonic (2006), there's nothing on his gloves and his eyes are missing. However, the in game character model and in all cutscenes past Wishing Upon the Chaos Emeralds show that Super Silver has red eyes and that the symbols on his gloves now glow a shade of gold instead of their usual cyan.
 * Since the events of Sonic '06 were erased from history, Super Silver's existence is questionable.
 * It is possible that Silver is based off of Trunks from Dragon Ball Z. They both come back from the future to stop the world from being ruined and when Trunks goes Super Sayin when he has longer hair, it bears a striking resemblance to Silver's quils. Yuji Naka is also a self proclaimed fan of the DBZ series.
