Sonic and the Secret Rings

The Soul Gauge in Sonic and the Secret Rings.

In Sonic and the Secret Rings, the Soul Gauge is presented as a golden gauge on the right side of the screen, where the charged Soul energy is presented as a burning orange/blue bar. In this game, it is a Skill that is obtained after clearing the Mission "Go for the Goal" in Evil Foundry and costs ten Skill Points to be equipped. If not equipped, the Soul Gauge cannot be used.

The player can charge up the Soul Gauge by collecting Pearls, Rich Pearls and defeating enemies. There are also Skills that allows the player to charge or grant additional Soul when certain conditions are met. Also, in battle against Alf Layla wa-Layla, the player can only fill the Soul Gauge by shaking the Wii Remote. The amount of energy the Soul Gauge can carry increases as the player grows in level, increasing every five levels. It starts with a capacity of 100 and increases to maximum 300 at about level 50.

In this game, the Soul Gauge is used to perform Speed Break and Time Break. To perform these actions, the Soul Gauge must be charged with enough energy to reach the burning point (where the color turns from blue to orange). The energy in the Soul Gauge decreases whenever these actions are used.
