I'm curious if one of you sonic fans can tell me what determines the color a character becomes in their super form? For example, why is Super Sonic Silver colored this time around instead of yellow, and what causes Knuckles to become Pink in his super form?

IIRC Knuckles is always in his super form but holds back for a reason I forgot, the pink color would be him unleashing his true power

Pretty sure Super Sonic is still yellow in Mania, my friend.

Super Sonic is always yellow, Tails and Knuckles just flash white.

>Tails and Knuckles just flash white.
That's really lazy, I was hoping they were going to fix that in Mania.

Fix what, the thing they've always done?

Fix the fact that they're lazy recolors with zero effort put into them.

Iizuka's always been autistic about who can and can't go Super, so he never really puts much thought into it when a Hedgehog isn't the one going Super.
It's a goddamn miracle that Tails and Knuckles can even do so after he seemingly slammed down the Super Emeralds making a comeback, too.

I mean they are there, they've just become desiccated over time.

>>Sonic turns gold
>>Tails and Knuckles stay the same colors
I fucking hate this.

They require the hyper emeralds, right? those have different powers I guess. Hyper sonic is all rainbowy

what pisses me off is that classic super sonic is gold with green eyes, a super saiyajin reference, but when the idiots gave sonic green eyes, they gave the super form red eyes. fucking gay. new sonic sucks

Knuckles doesn't need the Super Emeralds to transform, only Tails used to. I guess it can be seen like Tails just learned to use the Chaos Emeralds to transform now, or, he was just able to "skip" to Hyper if using the Flickies are a indicator of that.

??? Wtf. What "recolors"? What would you have wanted for a Super character to look like? It's either going to be gold or nothing at all, every Jap thing period does this for Super forms all the time.

Not that user but Super Tails and Super Knuckles should be gold like Sonic, just like how all Super Saiyans have yellow hair.

It was either that or nothing at all, in 3K it was likely due to time restraints, Mania, homage. But come on, Tails IS gold colored, it's not going to look any more gold other than just uping the contrast instead of duplicating the same sprites twice over. Knuckles could have been gold but one thing, there AREN'T DBZ characters. Just because Super Sonic is a rip off of DBZ, doesn't mean Iizuka/Taxman have to make it even more obvious. I bet it's the reason Hyper Sonic was scrapped as a concept in later games.

Knuckles should've turned green

Only good characters get a new color.

>There's no sign of her so far of her being in Sonic Forces

Why Sega?

Shes Infinite or theres gonna be a DLC mission for her

>IIRC Knuckles is always in his super form but holds back for a reason I forgot
Fucking what?

...

>Shes Infinite

That theory was ruled out recently when an user used Photoshop to find these images hidden within the cover of that Sonic Forces: Moment of Truth comic. Pic related is one of them and and it shows Infinite unmasked and it's pretty clear that it isn't Blaze. Which is disappointing desu because I was all on in on the Blaze is Infinite theory and wanted it to be true but oh well.

I can dig it

Super sonic is yellow because he's a shameless super saiyan ripoff.

And here's another one. You can again see Infinite unmasked in the upper right corner.

Ok so what is the silver sonic? Hyper sonic? Whats the difference between hyper and super forms?

Hyper Sonic is faster and and more powerful (has a screen clearing move IIRC). But Hyper's not canon anymore so don't worry about it.

is infinite gonna be tails? like classic tails?

I think Classic Tails is still in Classic Sonic's dimension. Also Classic Tails is a bit too smol to be Infinite. Some people think Infinite may be future Tails or an alternate reality version of Tails though.

>I'm curious if one of you sonic fans can tell me what determines the color a character becomes in their super form?

Rule of Cool. Whatever design the designers give the characters, is how they look in their super form.

Beyond that the only system in place is that characters with lighter colour will flash white (Tails, Knuckles), while characters with darker colours will get their colour inverted AND flash white (Sonic, Shadow, Metal Sonic in S&K).

I don't remember who else gets super forms though.

>he seemingly slammed down the Super Emeralds making a comeback, too.

that was explained as a bonus content for S&K, not something that exists canonically.

>Fucking what?

At a guess it's a Penders thing.

Do people still believe that dumbass myth that Super Shadow wasn't gold because the Dreamcast couldn't handle rendering two gold characters?

Hyper forms also don't need to breath.

Hyper Sonic has an air dash double jump (you can hold a direction to dash onto) that also smart bombs all enemies on the screen.

Hyper Knuckles can make the screen shake and smart bomb all enemies if his glide hits a wall from a minimum distance.

beyond that, they also leave afterimages constantly, super forms only leave a star behind and only at max speed.

oh and hyper sonic flashes in all the colours of the rainbow for some fucking reason.

yeah, if you go by bullshit comic book rules, there's also Turbo Tails, and apparently Super Sonic is crazy evil.
