Powers and traits

As shown by Dr. Eggman, Chaos Emeralds can be used as an energy source for machinery. However, their power can also be tapped into directly, as shown by Sonic when he harnessed a Chaos Emerald's energy while it was still being used by Dr. Eggman's robot. As well as briefly changing his appearance, this energy supercharged all of his attacks. Whether this utilization is an ability unique to Sonic is unknown.
