Summary[]
Sonic the Hedgehog is the eponymous protagonist of the Sonic the Hedgehog videogame series as well as Sega's mascot. A blue, anthropomorphic hedgehog gifted with the ability faster than the speed of sound and beyond, hence his namesake.
Ever since stepping into the battle against iniquity, Sonic has been the champion of peace and is renowned all over the world for saving it countless times. During his many adventures, Sonic has traveled from the ends of the Earth to the far reaches of both space and time; he's faced countless trials that have tested him to the fullest and earned him many titles, allies, and the scorn of those who call him an enemy. Well-known for his legendary cocky attitude, easy-going demeanor and somewhat short temper (yet strong sense of justice, compassion, and love for freedom and adventure), Sonic uses his abilities to protect the innocent from his world and those beyond from those whom endanger it. That goes especially for his arch-nemesis, Dr. Eggman, who he defends the world from most often.

Kept being himself without losing hope or succumbing to his negative feelings even while under Dark Gaia's influence, which makes one fall into despair by bringing out the innate darkness within their heart. Stood firm in his resolve after having his friend and mentor killed in front of him and receiving a debilitating beating, refusing to falter even when the Knights of the Round Table insisted on him giving up and fleeing. Endured constant torture on board of the Death Egg for six months straight without suffering any repercussions to his mental stability, with him making fun of the situation during it and behaving normally immediately after getting free, treating the whole experience as a minor annoyance. Ran at top speed almost nonstop for several days with minimal rest in order to fight off the effects of the Metal Virus, being physically, emotionally, and mentally exhausted while still fighting to contain the Zombot Plague and rescue survivors. Fought against Mecha Sonic Mk. II with an injured ankle even when it felt like "being stabbed by a thousand needles" when running on it, breaking his limits in the process and eventually overwhelming the Scrapnik. His unbreakable spirit made Sage question his ability to persist despite being in a state where he could barely stand, allowing her to realize his drive comes from protecting those precious to him. Despite the various challenges and threats he faced during his time on the Starfall Islands, be it enduring his Cyber Corruption to hazardous encounters with the Titans, The End stated that Sonic's courage had never wavered)
- Greater Accelerated Development (Training, Battle, Passive - Physical Stats, Abilities & Combat Skill; Same as his Adventure Era-self. Noted to improve at a quick rate.

Kept exceeding Zig and Zavok's expectations after seeing him in action before. Went from an amateur to master swordsman, with him later on learning 3 unique styles of sword fighting, besting the legendary Knights of the Round Table and King Arthur himself, becoming one of the greatest knight of all time, accomplishing these feats with only 3 days of training. The Zeti even when teaming up continued to lose to Sonic despite being confident in defeating him when their power was overflowing thanks to Eggman's invention. Sonic grew stronger after six months of imprisonment in the Death Egg with his hands and knees bound. Was later stated to exceed previous data by Infinite during their second encounter, and stated himself to grow stronger every second[7] before later quickly overwhelming Infinite despite previously being on even ground minutes ago. Was initially equal to Surge, who was perfectly calibrated with his Bio-Data to be his equal, and that was so similar in all aspects that Dr.Eggman's systems were unable to differentiate her from him, but after a short while he was able to completely overwhelm her casually as their first fight went on, dominating the battle)

Even being in an environment with shifting gravity fails to slow him down so long as there are objects or enemies nearby for him to interact with[10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21])

- Invulnerability (Super Forms are stated on multiple occasions to be indestructible, invulnerable and invincible, being unaffected by attacks from many opponents including the Time Eater, Egg Wizard, Perfect Chaos, Great Eggman Robo and Ultimate Gemerl)
- Invulnerability Negation (Super Forms can harm other super forms with this ability. The vast majority of characters who can bypass the Super States invulnerability use the power of the Chaos Emeralds in some way)
- Positive Emotion Empowerment (Super Forms are strengthened by the positive emotions of those who achieve the transformation, as those emotions are stated to power the Chaos Emeralds. Often recited as converting thoughts into power and and performed a miracle "in response to the thoughts of Sonic and all the people facing a crisis". Reacted to Silver's determination to save lives and be a hero, allowing him to harness its power and gain strength)
- Holy Manipulation (The Chaos Emeralds are described as wondrous and miracle gems that perform miracles once they are all gathered together, the result of which result is the Super form. The energy which the Emeralds provide is stated to possess a holy nature with the gems possessing divine power which was created by the Gods themselves)
- Power Bestowal (Can pass Chaos Energy onto others, allowing them to achieve Super transformations of their own)
- Enhanced Dream Manipulation & Conceptual Manipulation (Type 1 - 4-D; Dreams are a fundamental aspect of the multiverse with the Chaos Emeralds being referred to as the super-substance of dreams. The Chaos Emeralds allowed Mephiles and Iblis to fuse back into Solaris, who immediately became a threat that would swallow all timelines and destroy the very meaning of time that additionally includes Maginaryworld and all the dreams contained within Fourth Dimensional Space, a space which in itself is Illumina's dream)
- Empathic Manipulation & Nonduality (Type 2 - Dreams & Nightmares) & Enhanced Abstract Existence (Type 1 for their energy; Due to the Chaos Emerald's energy being the super-substances and giving vitality to all living things, their energy is both part of and more abstract than abstract beings such as The End, Void, which is additionally stated to be part of the emotions necessary for dreams to exist, and even Illumina and the Precioustone)
- Mind Manipulation, Empathic Manipulation & Physics Manipulation (Dreams can encompass parts of the mind whereas other dreams may have altered physics. Other dreams can be born from negative emotions/ideas including lust, domination & monopolization)
- Plot Manipulation & Text Manipulation (Dreams would also encompass Erazor djinn's desire to remake the Arabian Nights, a reality which is made of texts/manuscripts and narratives which are fundamental to its existence, with the words written being the story of the world itself, with all the characters following a set plot as their law and destiny)
- Law Manipulation, Causality Manipulation, Soul Manipulation, Data Manipulation & Information Manipulation (Type 2; The Chaos Emeralds act as the very basis of the Ancients' technology, with the gems powering all their systems including Cyber Space. Cyberspace is a referred to as a separate digital world by The End as well as a digital dimension by Dr. Eggman which can obtain external information/data from the universe and materialize it within itself. Tails surmised that Cyber Space stores information down to the very essence of the Ancients' beings including their hopes, dreams, memories and even their souls. When a being enters Cyber Space, their memories physically alter and change the realm depending upon their memories. The barrier surrounding the Starfall Islands was stated to defy the laws of the world, manifesting logical disparities down to the bottom of causality. When it used the Chaos Emeralds to fuse, Solaris was stated to be capable of destroying all of reality in all time periods. That would include Cyber Space by extension[36]. At his strongest, Super Sonic could attack Solaris throughout all points in time)
- Enhanced Non-Physical Interaction (Abstract Existence (Type 1; Concept Type 1, Nonduality Type 2, Dreams & Nightmares, Feelings), Information Type 2, Data, Laws, Minds, Souls, Memories, Void, Plot, Text, Space-Time, Nonexistence Nature Type 2; All Aspects, Elemental Incorporeality (Energy, Water, Fire, Smoke, Light and Darkness); As the source of vitality to all living things, Chaos Energy would be able to interact with all living beings such as Mephiles (An immaterial being made of Darkness), Iblis (An immaterial being made of energy and fire), Solaris (the fusion of the last two, who is also made from several different dimensions and light), Void/Lumina/Illumina (Abstract beings made of Dream and the emotions needed for them to exist), Chaos (a being made of liquid) and Time Eater (A being made of smoke); As the super-substance of dreams, it naturally interacts with them and all aspects that are shaped by it, which includes the Storybook Worlds (Universes fundamentally made of Plot and Text) and the Cyberspaces (Realities fundamentally made of information, with the ancient cyberspace housing the Ancients' Souls, Memories, Hopes and the essences of who they were)
- Enhanced Chaos Energy Manipulation (Super Sonic's ability to harness and manipulate Chaos Energy is greatly increased, allowing him to perform Chaos Control on a much larger scale than prior)
- Enhanced Space-Time Manipulation (The unfathomable increase in Chaos Energy allows the user to perform Chaos Control on a vastly larger scale than prior)
- Forcefield Creation (Super Sonic can create a constant forcefield to protect himself)
- Energy Projection and Homing Attack (Super Sonic can fire a "powerful homing laser", shooting off multiple of them at once)

- Weapon Creation (Created sword-like constructs to both hold Knight in place and stab into it using one. Can create golden constructs of punches and kicks as well as golden chains to restrain Wyvern)
- Greater Aura (Explosive; Super Sonic's aura can envelop several duplicates of Perfect Chaos created by Eggman & even shatter the various world created by "Otherworldification")
- Enhanced Heat Generation (When Sonic and Silver entered their Super Forms, it immediately burned away the Metal Virus so badly that it did not regenerate back, even though before it could regenerate from Base Sonic burning it off)
- Power Nullification (Eggman deduced that Super Sonic neutralized the "Otherworldification" as well as the creations which were manifested from the Phantom Ruby, including the alternate worlds Super Eggman created, evaporating them like a mist with the worlds being described as "infinite" and "super-other dimensional")
- Empathic Manipulation & Purification (Type 2; A Super State's aura can cleanses negative energies, varying from evil beings to anger and negative emotions. Neutralize the negative energies of Perfect Chaos and made it benevolent once again, rendering its will to fight inert)
- Electricity Manipulation (With the Bolt of Lightning. Super State auras can also generate electricity)
- Statistics Amplification (Super Forms use Chaos Energy to amplify his power to great extents, such as when he harmed Metal Overlord with his supercharged attacks despite Metal Overlord being immune to any damage from his regular attacks. Is also capable of greatly enhancing his speed with multiple techniques, such as the Arrow of Light or Super Sonic Boost)
- Light Manipulation (Super Sonic can absorb light to strengthen himself and allow him to use the Arrow of Light, cracking Solaris' armour which remain unaffected by Super Sonic's regular attacks)
- Spatial Manipulation, Subjective Reality, Dream Manipulation, Law Manipulation, Causality Manipulation, Memory Manipulation & Perception Manipulation (4-D; Merely holding a Chaos Emerald protected Tails and Sonic from an anomaly which altered the world, its history and everyone's memories)
- Enhanced Existence Erasure (4-D - 2 Layers; Despite barely dodging Perfect Chaos' attack, it was stated that Sonic would've "vanished" had he not been in a Super State in spite of the fact that he had previously been unaffected by the Time Eater's erasure))
- Enhanced Death Manipulation (4-D - 1 Layer; Super Forms can withstand the Eyes of Solaris, which instantly kill whoever touches them)
- Greater Mind Manipulation, Disease Manipulation, Biological Manipulation and Transmutation (Powered directly by the Chaos Emeralds, which prevented Zavok's infection and cured Sonic of the Metal Virus the moment he transformed into Super Sonic.[37] The Metal Virus in question transforms organic tissue into a metallic substance through physical contact to create a mindless Zombot[38])
- Dream Manipulation, Mind Manipulation, Empathic Manipulation, Physics Manipulation, Plot Manipulation, Text Manipulation, Conceptual Manipulation (Type 1), Causality Manipulation, Law Manipulation, Soul Manipulation, Data Manipulation, Information Manipulation (Type 2) & Nonexistence Erasure (Nature Type 2 - All Aspects. Dreams, Plot, Space-Time & History; Super States can take attacks from Solaris, which should have these effects with Solaris' desiring the destruction of all reality stemming from Mephiles' craving for destruction, desire to wipe out all of history & Solaris' aim to consume all existing timelines with the destruction reaching places sch Maginaryworld, White Space, the Storybook Worlds & Cyber Space)
- Cyber Corruption (Afflictions - 3 Layers; When Sonic transformed into his Super State, his Cyber Corruption, which was able to affect him despite resisting similar abilities previously, was halted, though it did not cure him outright)
All of Super Sonic's abilities on a vastly enhanced scale plus:

RC Vehicles
(Possesses great perception skills, deducing that Shadow used Chaos Control to "warp" rather than using conventional speed despite it being the first time he witnessed the ability. Is capable of hacking into Doctor Eggman's technology as well as that of the Ancients', whose technological capabilities surpass that Eggman's. Sonic has extraordinary skill in operating vehicles, being able to pilot planes such as the Tornado, water bikes such as the Wave Cyclone, his own personal sports car, the Speed Star, whilst also displaying the ability to drive his car sideways and backwards just as well as he can forwards, as well as being an extremely skilled Extreme Gear rider, defeating Metal Sonic after he had copied the data of all the extreme gear racers in the World Gran Prix, including Sonic. himself, and was declared unbeatable by Eggman's own word. Is a lot more insightful then he appears, being capable of seeing through deception or noticing things that others would have overlooked as well as figuring out the schemes of the intelligent & manipulative Rouge[56][57])
Far more skilled & experienced than his Classic Self. Through years of countless adventures, Sonic has shown himself to be a skilled and formidable combatant. Performed Chaos Control for the first time with a fake Emerald after watching Shadow, something the Ultimate Lifeform deemed impossible even with his intricacies with Chaos Energy. Successfully created a unique fighting which balances offence & defence mixed with his speed whilst also implementing break-dancing moves. Can "perfectly read" patterns, adapt & outperform opponents mid-fight, even those of master martial artists such as Knuckles. Sonic is also knowledgeable on traditional martial arts such as Kenpo and Kung Fu, the latter of which he quickly mastered it after only 2 sections of training, with his skills being so great that the over a millennia old martial arts genius, Master Zik, who was once the "strongest warrior of all", was utterly impressed with Sonic's skills, even calling his moves unique, with Sonic beating the old master 3 times even when he had help, being acknowledged by Zik as being a master on his own right.
The Blue Blur's single greatest asset is his signature speed, which he has demonstrated complete mastery over in any environment due to full control of his momentum. Because of this, Sonic excels in applying his speed and agility into evasive maneuvers and offensive techniques fueled by momentum-based combat, allowing him to use his incredible agility both in and out of combat in nearly any type of terrain and situation. Beyond clever applications of Sonic's speed is his capacity for adaptability and quick learning. Such instances are demonstrated several times within his adventures. Of note is when he began training with a sword for the first time to become a proper knight. Not only did he quickly learn how to use it to the extent that he became incredibly bored by it, but he effortlessly applied such teachings "like it was nothing" in a manner deemed as "like a true knight" during his very first battle. He continued greatly improving on his skills as the adventure went on, with him later on learning 3 unique styles of sword fighting, Knight style, focused on a balance of power and speed, Paladin style, focused on the power behind his strikes and Cavalier style, which is focused on quick strikes in rapid succession, all of which he effortlessly applied along his speed. Bested the legendary Knights of the Round Table and King Arthur himself, becoming the greatest knight of all time, accomplishing these feats with only 3 days of training. Has also displayed mastery over other weapons such as a lasso. Capable of precisely timing his attacks with his opponent multiple times in a roll, canceling the attacks and giving him an opening for a counter attack, doing so as early as his first real fight with Caliburn.
Kept up with Neo Metal Sonic after he copied his Biodata, which allows him to also copy one's own intellect for himself, and only need to retreat due to the additional army that was present, which he still said he could handle if Neo Metal was not there. Easily defeated and mocked Eggman while piloting the Egg Dragoon, a machine that has years of study of his movement patterns in the several years he and the Doctor have been fighting. Capable of outracing, outfighting & outthinking Metal Sonic across most of their fights and races, despite Metal's capabilities of copying and learning with each encounter and having powers & abilities similar to Sonic himself. Was initially equal to Surge, who was perfectly calibrated with his Bio-Data to be his equal, and that was so similar in all aspects that Dr.Eggman's systems were unable to differentiate her from him, but after a short while he was able to completely overwhelm her casually as their first fight went on, dominating the battle. Constantly fought and trained Emerl, a 4.000 year old war combat machine with its combative data alone having caused Gerald Robotnik's strongest computer to crash upon trying to load it, Emerl would go on to copy the fighting style, skills, abilities & poses of Sonic and all his friends yet Sonic was unimpressed with Emerl, continuing to to teach him. Fought the Gizoid as he gained more Chaos Emeralds and awoken more of his ancient combat data, even being able to train with him after he acquired all 7 Chaos Emeralds. Adapted to & defeated Ultimate Emerl in under 30 seconds after surpassing his limits due to capturing the energy from the Final Egg Blaster, using a fighting style which blended all the techniques that it had learnt. Fought and defeated Gemerl on numerous occasions, the perfected ultimate fighting robot based Emerl's data who is stated to improve after each encounter, growing stronger in the process. Casually defeats numerous E-121 Phi at a time, who whilst inferior to their inspiration, Emerl, can still accurately mimic the abilities of Sonic's friends.
Has gone toe-to-toe with primordial entities which have been fighting for over tens of thousands of years including Dark Gaia & The End, the latter of which fought the 4 Titans simultaneously & was deemed to be unstoppable to the point that defeating it required it to be sealed in Cyberspace. Defied the expectations of the supergenius AI Sage in regard to both his chances of survival against the Titans and the handling of his Cyber Corruption despite her ability to run millions of simulations in a short timeframe with an infinite amount of information, both of which she deemed it was impossible for Sonic to overcome. Impressed and shocked the Ancients' greatest warriors and minds alike, the very beings who created Cyber Space, to the point where one referred to his potential as "limitless" and was incapable of comprehending the way he fought nor how he overcame the Titans. Referred to by Doctor Starline as the only being capable of standing up to Dr. Eggman with sheer skill alone even with master martial artists such as Espio, an expert in ninjutsu that was impressed by Sonic's ability to simultaneously move and look as if he was invisible at incredible speeds, and Knuckles, with Sonic being a main force in the takeover of the planet after Eggman conquered it. Despite Dr. Eggman's intellect and vast list of creations, such as machines with years of research into Sonic's movement patterns, Sonic has come out on top over 227,000 times.
Weaknesses: He is too confident and can hold back just to make it more fun.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
- Spin Attack: While moving forward, Sonic is able to curl tightly into a defensive ball and roll along the ground to ram enemies as a concussive force or cutting disk.

- Healing: Any healing being done allows for energy to gradually increase for the Ichikoro Gauge.
- Sonic Healing: Sonic closes his eyes and stands firmly in one spot and begins healing rapidly at supersonic speed.
Tag Actions (タッグアクション, Taggu Akushon) are unique moves that Sonic receives when teamed up with a partner, mostly differing depending upon whether it's done on solid ground or while in the air. When performing a Tag Action, his partner will perform a Spin Jump into his arms before it's performed.[40]
- With Tails
- Leap Jump: When performed on the ground, Tails will propel Sonic high into the air to quickly gain vertical distance.[40]

- Light Speed Attack: Sonic harnesses his conserved energies and charges up in a manner nigh-akin to the Spin Dash. The difference being that while charging, light orbs will encircle Sonic's body and damage enemies upon contact, discouraging interruption of the technique. Once finished, Sonic excitedly utters "Ready!" and takes on a cyan hue, before rocketing off at high speeds to unleash a far faster and stronger Homing Attack. This technique automatically targets every enemy in the vicinity upon execution, allowing Sonic to pull of a rapid onslaught of Homing Attacks to strike all enemies in range.[45]
- Somersault: Sonic flips his body and attacks with his legs.[43]
- Fire Somersault: A variation of the somersault, imbuing Sonic's kicks with intense flames when he has the Flame Ring equipped.[43]
- Skid Attack: Sonic performs a somersault before sliding along the ground while striking his enemy with his feet first before coming to a halt. The range of this attack can be increased further by performing it while running at high speeds.[83]
- Somersault Kick: Sonic kicks out with his leg while in midair, releasing a thin blue wave of unknown properties as a projectile that can strike enemies from afar. Upon impacting a foe, it induces an affect akin to dizziness and leaves enemies to his mercy.[28]
- Back Step: Sonic does a swift backflip, which allows him to quickly backtrack or reposition himself better within a fight.

- Air Boost: An airborne variation of the Boost, used to increase the Sonic's speed in midair and soar through the sky. Sonic's use for this technique can range from quick evasion away from an enemy, to surfing through the air for long distances, cancelling attacks before they strike a target, and more.[36]
- Power Boost: Should Sonic enable his Boost while at maximum Ring capacity, Sonic will emit blue lightning around him while his speed is increased even further. Should Sonic lose Rings, his Boost will be reverted to normal once more.[36]
- Cartwheel: Sonic cartwheels to the left or right, appearing as nothing but a blur, and has proven useful for evading attacks.[84]
- Charge Jump: Sonic crouches slightly down and gathers up his strength, which is signified by a small red aura surrounding him. When releasing his charge, Sonic will then execute a jump that is much higher than his regular jump, allowing him to reach higher places. This can be done when he is running, though it will cause him to slide along the ground and slow down before doing the jump.[8]
- Drift: Sonic creates friction to one of his sides while either sliding or spinning at high speed, causing his direction to shift rapidly in a smooth curve without him losing much of his momentum.[84]
- Hop Jump: Sonic assumes a more aerodynamic pose as he flies through midair. He then does a upward spring in midair to gain extra height.
- Insta-Shield: For an instant, Sonic creates a temporary shield around himself that can slash enemies within his range. This allows Sonic to attain simultaneous offense and defense, and allows him to bypass forcefields.[85]
- Jump Dash: Sonic launches himself straight forward in midair with a burst of speed, leaving a blue trail in his wake. This is useful for gaining air mobility, crossing gaps, and maneuvering across obstacles.[45]
- Quick Step: Sonic running at high speeds, Sonic performs a swift-strafing movement to the left or right. When doing so, Sonic appears as nothing but a blur, indicating his short burst speed is swifter than his steady pace.
- Radial Burst: With a pulse of energy, Sonic uses Radial Burst and is capable of negating the effects of the Color Powers.
- Skydiving: Sonic is capable of controlling his descend during a midair dive by making his body more or less aerodynamic. As a result, he can control whether they will fall faster or slower through midair.
- Slide: Sonic falls back while running and slides along the ground with his feet in front of him, capable of sweeping comparable characters off their feet.[19] This can be combined with his Drift and Boost techniques[86] to further amplify both his mobility and striking power
- Super Peel Out: Sonic begins to move his legs in a pattern similar to the "infinity" symbol to build up speed, all while remaining stationary. After which, he rockets off with immensely increased speed and mobility, even nimbler the Spin Dash. This technique allowed Sonic to match Metal Sonic's V. Maximum Overdrive Attack, which is stated to increase Metal Sonic's speed four times over, meaning Sonic's Super Peel Out grants a similar increase.
- Speed Up: Sonic emits blue sparkles and greatly increases his speed for up to ten seconds.
- Fireball Spin Dash: Sonic curls into a ball and spears forward through mid-air at high speeds like a comet of flames by using his Spin Dash in conjunction with the Flame Shield.

- Triangle Jump: Sonic latches onto a wall, allowing him to quickly jump horizontally from one wall to another.
- Chaos Control: With a Chaos Emerald handy, Sonic is capable of utilizing Chaos Control to manipulate the fabric of time and space. He can use this to teleport himself as well as other people and objects, manipulate time by slowing or stopping it, perform inter-dimensional or time travel, distort space-time, and so on. The magnitude of this power depends on the amount of Chaos Emeralds Sonic has with him.
- Time Stop: Sonic evokes a power of undefined nature that inverts all colors in the vicinity. This effect pauses the flow of time and leaves the opponent completely immobilized.
- Sonic Wind: Sonic raises his fist to generates a small cyclone made of sharp, sky blue winds, which ensnare his opponent to deal damage.
- Sonic the Hedgehog's Soul Gauge: The Soul Gauge is a Skill Sonic acquired during his adventures throughout the Storybook Era, and is ultimately utilized for a myriad of special abilities that Sonic is incapable of doing without it. This entails both offensive and defensive capabilities, be it from enhancing his attacks or allowing him to move at high speeds near-instantaneously. It runs off of Soul Gauge energy, which is also referred to as Soul and implies that the energy comes from Sonic's very soul itself. He can get this energy from collecting Pearls and through several skills.
- Time Break: When performing this move, Shonic shout its name & slows down the flow of time, thus slowing down everything around him and giving him more time to react.
- Speed Break: Speed Break is very similar to the Boost. When performing this move, Sonic shouts "Speed Break", before accelerating to such high speeds that he creates a sonic boom, while streaks of fire are released in his slipstream. In this state, Sonic is invulnerable and can take out all manners of enemies and breakable obstacles in his way.

As the Purple Frenzy, he gains a powerful jaw that can chew and consume any matter he bites off and add it to his own mass, allowing the Purple Frenzy to grow larger for each bite until reaching maximum size. When reaching maximum size, the Purple Frenzy also gains a suction breath that lets Sonic suck in smaller objects that are neither too heavy nor rooted to the ground.
- Red Burst: Using the power of a Red Wisp, Sonic turns into a red fireball that constantly gives off an aura of flames. As the Red Burst, Sonic obtains pyrokinetic abilities. He is able to form a shield of flames around himself that instantly incinerates anything it touches, and he can create explosions of fire by combusting into flames without inflicting harm on himself. These explosions can be channeled to shoot Sonic higher into the air or be charged up to trigger large-scale and powerful explosions that destroy nearly anything within its range. In addition, Sonic's speed increases while using Red Burst.
- Violet Void: Using the power of a Violet Wisp, Sonic turns into a fast-moving, ghastly and smoky black orb with violet outlines. As the Violet Void, Sonic essentially becomes a living black hole and can warp space and time to draw objects into himself from a distance and make them vanish without a trace. Because of the Violet Void smoke-like makeup, Sonic is granted a degree of intangibility, allowing him to pass through obstacles unharmed. As the Violet Void, Sonic is also capable of flight through mid-air. Like the Purple Frenzy, the Violet Void can add the mass of the objects they draw into itself, allowing Sonic to grow larger the more he consumes until he reaches maximum size. Also, the more the Violet Void increases in size, the stronger its suction ability becomes, enabling Sonic to draw in bigger and heavier objects from greater distances. The Violet Void can draw in objects the size of the Frigate Skullian at maximum size, a massive aircraft.
- Yellow Drill: Using the power of a Yellow Wisp, Sonic turns into a yellow spiral drill. As the Yellow Drill, Sonic can burrow and tunnel underground at remarkably fast speeds. This can also be applied in underwater environments, allowing Sonic to move as a living torpedo.

- Were-Hammer: Sonic does two forward and extended jabs with his left and right fists before thrusting his right arm forward in a wide slashing uppercut to the opponent. After that, Sonic follows up by swinging his left fist in a wide arch above him and right down on the opponent.
- Feral Were-Hammer: Sonic follows up by throwing two simultaneous punches with both his fists side-by-side at his opponent, where he enlarges his fists and stretches his arms over a large area as he punches.
- Were-Rush: Sonic dashes through mid-air and swings both of his arms back so they cross over, before crossing both of his arms in front of him and causing a powerful slash attack in a cross-chop fashion.
- Were-Wallop: Sonic the Werehog stretches his arms upward as he performs a double uppercut to his opponents while slashing upwards with his energy-enveloped claws.
- Werewheel Rush: Sonic launches a series of offensive cartwheels along the ground, where he punches anyone caught in his path. At the end of his series of cartwheels, Sonic jumps into the air and brings his hands together in a collective fist before performing a forward somersault to bringing his fists down on opponents, utilizing his momentum from his flip to increase the impact.
- Wild Were-Whip: Sonic steps backwards from a guarded position before bringing both his arms behind his back and placing the palms of his hands on the ground. After this, he stretches out his arms and swings them simultaneously over himself in a wide arch while slashing and brings his claws down in front of him in a similar fashion to a whip.
- Wild Whirl: Sonic does two forward and extended vertical slashes with his left and right hand before enlarging his right fist and stretches out his right arm as he spins clockwise around himself, striking his opponent with a backhand punch from his right fist. While keeping his right arm outstretched, Sonic immediately after spins around himself counterclockwise while slashing out in a wide circle.
- Feral Wild Whirl: Sonic then stretches his arms and hands out the sides and spins around several times like a top while slashing with his hands over a long range.
- Wild Whirl Were-Hammer: After performing the Wild Whirl, Sonic jumps high into the air and enlarges his right fist before throwing it directly and vertically into the ground in a powerful punch, with the impact being powerful enough to knock any nearby opponent into the air.
- Dash: Sonic assumes a runner's position before running on all fours, greatly increasing his speed within his Werehog state for greater speed and maneuverability.[84]
- Unleashed Mode: Sonic the Werehog taps into the energies of Dark Gaia that he has absorbed. When activating, Sonic lets out a howl as his entire body becomes surrounded in an aura of cyan energy. While active, Sonic's physical prowess is greatly amplified for a limited period of time.[84]
- Fire Manipulation: Darkspine Sonic can create concentrated flames on his hands and feet to amplify the destructive force behind his attacks, and form highly powerful bursts of flames.
- Reality Manipulation: Due to being empowered by three of the seven World Rings Darkspine Sonic possesses a degree of control over the fabric of reality. He can rewrite universes in his image and reverse the effects of reality warping on a universal scale.
- Soul Refill: By curling himself into a ball in a similar manner to him revving up a Spin Dash, Darkspine Sonic can quickly and effectively refill his Soul Gauge for further usage of his abilities.
- Speed Break: Sonic accelerates to speeds surpassing what he can achieve normally, leaving streaks of fire in his slipstream. While active, Sonic is invulnerable and can damage enemies and obstacles by crashing into them. Just like Time Break, Darkspine Sonic can use this technique nigh-limitlessly due to creating his own energy to fuel it.
- Time Break: Sonic slows down the flow of time, bringing his surrounds and opponents to a nigh-halt and leaving them to his mercy. Unlike his base form, Darkspine Sonic can use this nigh-limitlessly due to creating his own energy to fuel the technique. This move has no canonical impact on his own speed and doesn't affect him, as shown in cutscenes.
Chaos Energy Manipulation: In his Super form, Sonic's Chaos Energy based powers are enhanced on a tremendous scale. In addition, he gains new Chaos Powers. Due to being empowered by the Emeralds' Positive energies, Sonic is capable of neutralizing negative energies. He can also purify negative emotions, like when he reverted Perfect Chaos back to normal by purifying it of its anger and rage (rendering his will to fight inert). Also, Sonic can unleash powerful blasts of Chaos Energy and channel Chaos Energy to amplify the power of his strikes and form defensive barriers.
- Arrow of Light: Super Sonic draws light into his body and begins absorbing it. Once he has gathered enough light, Super Sonic immerses himself in the gathered light, thus turning himself into "an arrow of light", and charges into the opponent with immense force.
- Constructs: Alongside his normal moveset, Super Sonic can create golden constructs of punches and kicks to attack his enemy in a quick barrage. Against the Wyvern Titan, Super Sonic created chains by using his Cyloop on it. During his fight against the Knight, Super Sonic had created sword-like constructs that stab through the Titan to both hold it in place or attack it directly using one. Super Sonic can create energy duplicates of himself to strike an enemy with fiercer power.
- Deflect: Super Sonic swings his arm forward, which covers him in a shield of slate-gray energy that deflects enemy projectiles back at the enemy.
- Super Sonic Boost: Super Sonic surrounds himself in a golden aura of Chaos Energy before ramming the target with incredible speed, resulting in a rather devastating impact.
- Bolt of lightning: A variation of the Super Sonic Boost. Super Sonic reaches top speed and becomes a "bolt of lightning"
- Super Sonic Spinning: Super Sonic curls into a ball and begin spinning while charging up Chaos Energy. Once charged, he shoots himself forward as a powerful project and rams into nearby targets.
- Turbo Boost: Super Sonic surrounds himself in a brilliant golden aura that amplifies his speed. This can be used for extensive maneuverability or deployed in short bursts to evade attacks.
- Super Sonic Power/Super Sonic Overdrive: With the help of Super Tails & Super Knuckles, They charge up an attack and release a barrage of Homing Attacks and Light-Speed Attacks on their opponents.
- Perfect Parry:An upgraded version of the Parry, this technique can allow Starfall Super Sonic to repel any attacks, including unblockable ones.
