Burning Blaze (バーニングブレイズ, Bāningu Bureizu^?) is the transformation of Blaze the Cat when she harnesses the power of the seven Sol Emeralds. The player uses her in the true final boss battles of the Sonic Rush series.

Physical Appearance

Visual changes to Blaze following her transformation include her lavender fur becoming pink, the tip of her tail turning red, and the details on the end of her ponytail are erased. Her jacket also becomes red, while the bottom hem changes to a golden shade of yellow. The cuffs on her gloves and shoes are also engulfed in magenta flames which ignite slightly up her sleeve and tights. She is usually covered in a red aura, resembling fire.

Powers and abilities

As Burning Blaze, her powers include the traditional flight and invulnerability abilities, as well as an enhancement to her pyrokinesis, which includes the ability to throw fireballs. She is able to either fire small fireballs in rapid succession, or charge her fireballs to make them larger and more powerful. She can also perform the Burning Fire Boost to give herself an increase in speed and to plow through obstacles.

She also receives a significant increase in speed and strength; her speed is enhanced to the point where she is able to keep up with Super Sonic, and she is strong enough to send the Egg Wizard flying with a single uppercut.

Like most Super transformations, her weakness is that she is limited by the number of rings she has, since her transformation requires rings to be maintained, and if she runs out of rings, she will revert back to normal.

By combining her power with Super Sonic's, Burning Blaze can even match the Jeweled Scepter-enhanced Egg Wizard in power.

Apperance in Other Media

Archie Comics

Burning Blaze is set to debut in the Archie Comics in Sonic Universe #58 as Blaze the Cat's transformation. Like in the games, she can achieve this form with the Sol Emeralds.

Trivia

• The first time Blaze became Burning Blaze in Sonic Rush was her first time ever using the Sol Emerald's power. Both Doctor Eggman and Eggman Nega noted that she was unable to use them when they first attacked her with their Egg Salamander, but when she realized the importance of trusting others, she became able to transform.
• Burning Blaze is easily mistaken for "Super Blaze" among fans.
• Burning Blaze is the first transformation used by a female character in the game series.
  • However it is so far the only transformation used by a female protagonist, as the Dark Queen was used by Merlina, the final antagonist of Sonic and the Black Knight.
• Burning Blaze is the third transformation where the user's fur turns pink, the others being Super Knuckles and Hyper Knuckles. It is notable that, in addition to their transformations' color, Blaze and Knuckles also share the trait of being the guardians of the Sol and Chaos Emeralds respectively. This may have been intentional.
• Burning Blaze is the first character in the Sonic the Hedgehog series to have her clothes change after a transformation.
• Burning Blaze is the third character to transform into a specific form more than once in the series, right after Super Sonic and Super Shadow.
• Unlike Sonic and Silver, Blaze's eye color does not change when she transforms to Burning Blaze.
