Hyper is a positive status effect and a battle mechanic that appears in Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood.
Overview
In gameplay, when a target is affected by Hyper, their Speed and Defense is increased. A few rounds after the target has been given Hyper, however, this status effect will wear off. Targets with the Hyper status are signified by a blue glowing circle surrounding them.
Hyper can be used by both playable characters and certain enemies. Hyper can be given to a target by performing certain POW moves, such as Adrenaline Rush or Cloak.
