Description
Chaos energy is a mystical energy that can primarily be found within the Master Emerald and Chaos Emeralds, although it is possible for it exist withing other sources, such as Chaos being made of liquid Chaos energy. This energy can be used for a number of applications, from being able to power machinery, to empowering beings, or warping time and space itself.

By tapping into Chaos energy, it is possible for individuals to gain access to unique abilities such as Chaos Control, or to achieve transformations such as Super Sonic or Super Shadow. These transformations greatly increase the innate powers of the individual and also provide them with new abilities. By using Tikal's Prayer, it is possible to increase one's access to Chaos energy. Shadow the Hedgehog is also capable of doing this by removing his Inhibitor Rings.

There exist a handful of methods for certain individuals to track objects that hold Chaos energy within them. The first is Knuckles the Echidna's innate "emerald radar", which allows him to track down objects storing Chaos energy at a short distance. Opposite to that, the Mystic Melody allows the user to track such objects from a long distance.
