Super Silver

"The root of all our problems... I will defeat you, Solaris!"

- Super Silver

Super Silver (スーパーシルバー) is the Super State of Silver the Hedgehog. So far, his first and only appearance was in Sonic the Hedgehog (2006). 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.

Physical Appearance
Following the traditional Super State, visual changes to Silver while in this 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 ruby 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 golden aura.

Powers and abilities
While in his Super State, all of Silver's innate abilties are vastly enhanced, giving Silver an exceptional increase in speed that reaches that of both Super Sonic's and Super Shadow's, improved reflexes that allows him to keep up with his upgraded movements and those of his enemies, and an increase in physical strength as well.

Besides increased physical abilties. Super Silver also possesses standard abilities of the common Super State. He now has the ability to fly in midair without the need of his psychokinesis, and is virtually invulnerable to all harm, except from the attacks belonging to the strongest beings in the series, such as Solaris.

The power of Silver's psychokinetic abilities has also been increased following his transformation, allowing him to use empowered moves such as the Shield of Light, where he creates a large shield of telekinetic energy which can stop all projectiles within the radius and 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 States, Super Silver's weakness is that he needs Rings in order to maintain his own Super State. If he runs out of rings, he will instantly revert to his normal form.
