The Super Forms Super Sonic, Turbo Tails, Hyper Knuckles, and Master Mogul.
A Super Form, also referred to as a super-state, refers to the transformation an elite few can undergo when exposed to vast amounts of Chaos Energy, usually via seven Chaos Emeralds, Sol Emeralds, or the Master Emerald. Power Rings also help with the transformation process, and massive amounts of Power Rings can trigger rare Super Forms themselves.
History[]
Dr. Ivo Robotnik's Tyranny[]
During his confrontation with Universalamander, Sonic the Hedgehog used seven Chaos Emeralds he had stashed away and fifty Power Rings to transform into Super Sonic. With his newfound power, Sonic made it past Universalamander and got the Reduce/Enlarge Component he needed to defeat the robot. Afterward, Sonic remained super for the subsequent victory feast.

Abilities[]
Super Forms increase the individual's innate talents, such as increased speed and strength, while usually granting flight and invulnerability, along with new abilities, such as enhanced chaos powers and intangibility. However, while a Super Form does not last forever, once its wears off, the user will return to normal with an energy boost to their condition. (StH: #4, #95, #96, #169, #184, #196, SvK, CSE)
Super Forms attained by Anarchy Beryl comes with inherent risks to the user's life. While they grant all the same powers and perks as they would normally, when they de-power they are highly drained of strength. More than a few minutes could prove fatal. (StH: #195, #196, CSE)
Super Forms can also be attained from the consumption of an excessive amount of Rings. The number of Power Rings involved is unknown though―it could involve hundreds to thousands of them. These Super Forms, in addition to granting flight and increased innate talents, also bestow the user with vast elemental magical talents. (StH: #66, CSE)
Known Super Forms[]
- Super A.D.A.M.: A.D.A.M.'s Super Form came to him after absorbing some of the power of all the Chaos Emeralds in the universe save one. In this form, his body turned from silver to gold and he sprouted a pair of mechanical wings. The only new ability A.D.A.M. showed in his Super Form was increased power, and the invulnerability usually associated with such forms was apparently neutralized by Tommy Turtle. (StH: #169, CSE)
- Hyper Knuckles: Knuckles's Hyper form changes his fur from red to a light pink and gives him new abilities such as increased speed, strength, flight, and invulnerability. (StH: #56, #125, #146 SvK)
- Knuckles incorrectly referred to this transformation as "Super Knuckles" in StH #141. (Official Blog)
- Master Mogul: In this form, Mogul's attire changed instead of his appearance like the other known Super Forms to include armor worn by ancient warriors. In this state with the power of 12 Chaos Emeralds, Mogul achieved god-like power. He later became an even more powerful incarnation of Master Mogul after seizing total control of the Chaos Force for himself. (StH: #56, #149, #150, KtE: #9)
- Ugly Naugus: A powerful form of Ixis Naugus, Ugly Naugus was created when Naugus absorbed an untold number of Power Rings. He possessed all of his usual elemental powers, but greatly enhanced. (StH: #65, #66)
- Super Scourge: Scourge's Super Form comes from the power of the Anarchy Beryl, the Anti Mobius equivalent to Chaos Emeralds. His fur changes to purple with a light yellow aura around his person, and the whites of his eyes become black and his pupils turn red, similar to the eyes of Dr. Ivo Robotnik. He has the same abilities as Super Sonic, such as increased speed, flight, increased power, and invulnerability.(StH: #195, #196)
- Super Shadow: When in his Super Form, Shadow's black fur turns to gold and had new abilities such as increased speed, invulnerability, and his Chaos Control powers were also enhanced. (StH: #124, #169, SU: #2)
- Super Silver: In this Super Form, Silver's fur and blue markings turn gold, his eyes turn red, and his two rear quills float upward. His form has not yet been used but it does exist. (CSE)
- Ultra Sonic: The most powerful form exhibited by Sonic, appearing in two instances. In the first he was fueled solely by Power Rings, while in the second a Super Emerald was his power source. He possessed the power to manipulate elements, and could adapt to his environment in such forms as Solar Sonic, Eco Sonic and Polar Sonic. (StH: #65, #66, #71)
- Super Sonic: In this Super Form, Sonic's fur changes from blue to gold and his eyes from green to red. He gains the powers of increased speed, flight, increased power, and invulnerability. His positive aura also has the power to turn people influenced by negative energy back to good. (StH: #4, #56, #71, #83, #84, #126, #169, #183, #184, #229, SvK, SU: #2)
- The Another Time in Another Place and Sonic X Zone versions of Sonic can also achieve this form through the same means. (StH: #193, SX: #29)
- Hyper Tails: An enhanced form of Tails, Hyper Tails differed from Turbo Tails in being vastly more powerful and powered solely by Power Rings rather than by a combination of Rings and Chaos Emeralds. Aided by four super-powered Flickies, he commanded a variety of elemental abilities. (StH: #65, #66)
- Turbo Tails: Originally, Tails' Super Form changed his appearance and attire, giving him orange fur and a blue cape. But his fur later changed to a permanent orange and he instead was given a red cape with matching gloves. His abilities consisted of increased speed, power, flight without using his twin tails, and invincibility. (StH: #56, #95, #96, #97, #114, #149, #150, #185, #186, #168, #169)
