This object exists primarily or exclusively within the Sonic Boom continuity.

Information in this article may not be canonical to the storyline of the games or any other Sonic continuity.

Power Glyphs (or simply Glyphs) are objects that appear in Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric. They are one of the collectibles hidden in each level in the game and a set of nine powerful relics, possibly originating from the Ancients. In gameplay, they can be equipped to the playable characters to improve their abilities.

Description

Each Power Glyph resembles an ancient stone tablet, each with their own unique coloration and glowing patterns engraved on them.

In gameplay, the player can equip a Power Glyph to one of the playable characters in the menu to grant them a special power which can be swapped at any time. This includes improving the damage power with certain attacks, increasing or granting additional rewards, or bestowing other abilities. The player only receives one of each Power Glyph, but it can be equipped to multiple characters.

To unlock the Power Glyphs, the player can complete the side-quest given by NPCs in the game (except for Foreman Fred's which is obligatory). The player will be given a Power Glyph of their choice. Characters with Power Glyphs include:
