Super Sonic everyone's favorite all powerful chili dog love and Beast Slayer sometimes he's necessary to stopping a world-ending threat and other times Sonic can do it without the Boost and only uses it for fun after the fact today we're going to look at Super Sonic's role in every Mainline Sonic the Hedgehog game and rank him from worthless to Elite Sonic's first time go super wasn't until Sonic 2 and here once you collect all seven Chaos Emeralds from the bonus stages you can activate supersonic form in any level once you collect 50 rings and jump when
super he's got faster acceleration a higher jump and complete invincibility with the only real trade-off being his ring count depleting and if it hits zero he's back to normal you can beat the entire game without going super once but you can also collect the emeralds pretty quickly and get to use them for a large portion of the game it really depends on how much the player wants him since he's not necessary though it can't be a very high placement but feeling this overpowered and being available for a large chunk of the game gives them the
respectable spot and optional but effective this game opens with Sonic being fully super and gliding his way onto Angel Island until Knuckles pops up out of nowhere deals damage to supersonic which is new and steals the emeralds for himself you collect them the same way as last time so he's available as soon as you want him to be but new here is that he's a mandatory part of the story once you reach the Doomsday zone Sonic automatically upgrades to Supersonic and is needed to stop an Eggman Robo from escaping with the Master Emerald he of
course wins gets the emerald and reverts to regular Sonic to return the Master Emerald to its rightful place it's also worth mentioning that there's an additional overpowered Sonic form called Hypersonic and he's a little stronger than supersonic being able to breathe underwater and jump a bit higher but it's nothing crazy still it's his all-time strongest form and the only time we see it so I feel like there should be a little extra credit and I'd honestly be willing to go Elite with this one he plays a vital role in the climax and is usable throughout
the entire game doesn't get much better than that in Sonic Adventure suers Sonic is only usable for the final boss in the true ending of the game which requires beating every single story mode so most players haven't gotten that far with Perfect Chaos taking full form Sonic's friends pull together with the chaos emeralds they've collected power up Sonic and let him take on chaos mono imano Sonic wins in one of the easier Final Bosses in the series and brings chaos back to his chill zero form beating a world-ending Elemental monster all by himself is really
impressive but not being usable in any other part of the game holds it back from being fullon Elite so he's a strong key to success like the first Adventure Adventure 2 only features Supersonic in the last story and there he goes Super Saiyan alongside Shadow which is the first time he shares the super Spotlight with anyone and it makes for a super badass moment them flying throughout her space taking turns Landing blows on the giant lizard ultimate life form thing is such a cinematic and Peak Sonic moment and in the aftermath with Sonic being strong
enough to teleport back onto the ark and Shadow not being able to do so seemingly falling to his death it paints Sonic guess the stronger Hedgehog even if he just learned about Chaos Control a couple of days ago it's an incredibly Elite moment but since he splits the workload with another golden quilt Hedgehog he's doing less work than usual definitely strong power of friendship Vibes just like the last couple games superperson Sonic's reserved for the final boss here and this time he's back to a oneman wrecking crew now it's not as intimidating of a villain
as Perfect Chaos or the planet destroying Eclipse Cannon but it's a Transformer looking Eggman Robo and the fight takes place on the moon to up the stakes a little this is the true ending and he's the key to stopping Eggman so he'll fit well there he's not seen here unless you beat the game as all the other characters which is asking a lot but when you finally do it's another fight up in space against an Eggman robot and it's maybe a little harder than that first one but still more than manageable after he wins he
tracks down the falling capsule containing vanilla breaks her free and in doing so loses super form and does the remainder of the rescue as regular old Sonic again there are multiple endings and some don't require Super Sonic but he's a vital part of the true ending so he'll get another key to success tier like these other modern era games supersonic only shows up for the last story after you complete the four main team playthroughs Metal Overlord is one of the most menacing foes in the series he scanned every single character over the course of the
game to figure out how to defeat them and the plan was honestly almost foolproof almost he achieved exactly what he wanted but since the Sonic crew had all the chaos emeralds there was one tiny thing that metal didn't account for even still he needed the 11 other play aable characters to contribute to the fight including Tails and Knuckles for his phase which waters down his contribution a little he's the game changer but the whole theme of this game is about teamwork so friendship tier it is this is basically the same case as the previous advanced
games but now ultimate jurl is the big bad guy and Sonic goes Super to stop him in the true ending this time though he's got Eggman helping him and it's really cool to see the two working together but that Reliance on someone else to win the fight knocks him down a good bit about the same as Heroes Sonic and Blaze collect the chaos and soul emeralds throughout the game and use them to go God mode against the two eggmen and take down the egg salamander saving both of their worlds like Adventure 2 super Sonic's got
a palale in burning blaze and without her the job couldn't have been finished so he'll get credit where due as really useful but benefiting a lot from a teammate Sonic dies toward the end of the game methus just Cooks him when he's not paying attention and he only comes back to life because the rest of the heroes track down all the chaos emeralds and at least perform some weird ritual thing and kisses it for whatever reason that makes him go super and from there he shares his power with both Shadow and Silver and the three
super hedgehogs take down Solaris in the past present and future now the villain this time definitely needed three guys to take down so I can't take too much credit away from him for that but the fact that Sonic died and needed someone to manually make him super does hinder the overall feel with this one Teamwork Makes the Dream work for sure this game's identical to the first Sonic Rush in terms of SuperSonic two eggmen help from burning blaze and the power of friendship the opening cut scene has a high-speed Sonic versus Dr Eggman battle up
in outer space with missiles flying hordes of robots attacking and the most cartoony and detailed Expressions we've ever seen from these two Sonic gets caught by one of eggy's mechs and goes Super to break out and turn the tables on the doctor chasing him down to take out once and for all but then his Cockiness gets the best of him and he gets yed by some Eggman contraption that absorbs all the power from the chaos emeralds and directs it at the Earth to form aing death laser that shatters it to pieces Sonic goes all and
has to bring all the dead emeralds to different temples across the planet to restore them and all the continents Super Sonic isn't seen again until the final phase of the final boss where Dark Gaia fully reawakens into one of these scariest Sonic villains and Sonic goes all in to take him down I know he's not in most of this game but this final sequence is one of the most triumphant and Grand climaxes in the series and he defeats an alltime menacing threat basically by himself he's at the very least a key to success borderline Elite
though this game brings supers Sonic back to his classic form collect the seven Chaos Emeralds at your own pace and once you do you can go super at any point in the game he's stronger in gameplay than most superponics 2o being able to breathe underwater and illuminate dark areas it's a great playable look if he was needed at any point throughout the game I'd be willing to put it really high but since you can fully beat the game without him he's kind of unnecessary super effective but for these tiers I value how much he needs
to contribute to win and that's not at all here he's not worthless he's a great option to have but he's still just that an option and it's the same story for episode 2 so that's going right there with it in Sonic Colors you have to collect all the red rings throughout the game to unlock every act in the Sonic simulator and then beat all of those to acquire the seven Chaos Emeralds which finally lets you play a supersonic in any non boss level in the game it's a great bonus but the amount of work you
have to do to unlock him is brutal and by the time you do the day is saved and there's no need for his assistance so him being here is honestly worthless but both classic and modern Sonic go super to take down the ti meter at the end of the game and normally I dock in some for relying on somebody else but they're both super sonic so he's highly capable and necessary for saving the day while the rest of the Sonic cast chills on the sidelines so both supers are for sure a key to success this
game basically does the Sonic Colors thing again you have to 100% all the red rings to finally get the option to use Super Sonic in levels I like that he's here but he's completely unnecessary to anything plot-wise and is a nice and easy work this game follows the same Classic Sonic formula you can collect the chaos emeralds at your own pace and use supersonic at any point after that as long as you have at least 50 Rings you can still beat the game without supersonic but in order to get the true ending you have to
collect all seven Chaos Emeralds so you can go gold mode for the final boss being this vital to the ending in addition to being playable as early as the player desires gives this one by far the strongest case for an elite supersonic I hate Sonic forces it's a more serious plot with Eggman winning and the fate of the world at stake but the chaos emeralds don't play any role whatsoever and they only added supersonic as DLC so let's give Sonic forces some more hate this is worthless supersonic is a much more active part of the
story than ever before the Titans are way too powerful for Sonic to do anything against in his base form so each Starfall island has him collecting all the emeralds whooping a Titan's ass and flying on to the next one so you get to fight multiple bosses as him throughout the course of the game and he's the biggest reason they're able to win even freaking Eggman gives him a Chaos Emerald to take down the end in the end yeah the final boss is called the end I don't know seeing supersonic consistently involved was a treat and
he's needed to take down all the big baddies which makes this a hell of an easy Elite this is basically Mania all over again you can unlock him on your own terms and the true ending has a final boss that Sonic needs to go super to take down so it's one last Elite to end things on and there you have it
