Pink Wisp

The Pink Wisp is a Wisp that appears in Sonic Colors exclusively in the Wii version. It can give Sonic the Pink Spikes ability, which turns him into a spikeball that can climb up walls and perform a move similar to the Spin Dash. This is the only time Modern Sonic can perform the Spin Dash. It can also destroy certain obstacles that can't normally be destroyed.

The Pink Wisp also appears in Sonic Generations, able to be used by Classic Sonic in Planet Wisp.

Appearance
The Pink Wisp has an appearance similar to the White Wisp, except instead of having two antennae on its head, it has five short spikes on its head. When Sonic absorbs it, he looks like his head, like his other Wisp transformations, but has the Wisp's color and it has more quills than he normally has.

Abilities
As the Pink Spikes, Sonic is able to access one of his most famous abilities, the Spin Dash. He can also Homing Attack in this form, unlike other forms (the only exception is the Blue Wisp). Sonic can roll around and stick to anything, regardless of the angle.

Trivia

 * According to the Sonic Colors manual, Pink Wisps can be somewhat harsh, but are in fact very kind by nature. You'll often find them near walls.
 * The Pink Wisp can be used to deal extra damage in the Refreshinator battle.
 * Only Classic Sonic can use the Pink Wisp in Sonic Generations because of the Pink Spikes' Spin Dash.
 * It is debated whether the Pink Spikes reinforces Sonic's spines or grows new ones.
 * The Pink Spike's jingle is similar to that of the DS-exclusive Red Wisp.
 * The Pink Wisp is often referred to as the Pink Spikes. The Pink Wisp is the name of the Wisp, but the Pink Spikes is Sonic using the color power of the Pink Wisp.
