Super Mystic Sonic (Video Game)
It's time for Sonic to go even further beyond.note 

Super Mystic Sonicnote  is a modded Sonic Robo Blast 2 character created by Golden Shine, aimed to be both a new transformation for Sonic and a brand new character you can select as well.

The history of SMS is a long one, hailing from the very beginning of SRB2 existence, and has gained a lot of incarnations over the years before his current one, all with the same idea and concept of a more powerful rendition of Sonic with a more advanced gameplay. Unfortunately, the reputation of SMS ended up initially reaching the levels of The Scrappy back in the day due to various errors Shine eventually regretted later on in his life, but was thankfully able to bounce back into glory following the release of SRB2 2.2, where he finally achieved the success he once aimed for. Shine has made a video about the history on SMS, which you can watch here.

The current version of the character can be downloaded here.

This powerful character provides examples of:

  • Anti-Frustration Features: If the player needs to know what which button does, there's a command that allows to see every single move on the screen and how it can be triggered. Additionally there's an aim assist, placing a dotted line in front of the character when performing specific actions to help them.
  • Battle Aura: SMS always haves a pulsing aura around him. His aura also gets surrounded by lightnings when transforming into Hyper Mystic Sonic.
  • Difficult, but Awesome: The main concept of Super Mystic Sonic is having a quite complicated moveset, which can take a while to master, but heavily promotes the player when used correctly.
  • Eye Color Change: When transformed into HMS, his eyes turn green.
  • Golden Super Mode: His main palette is golden colored. Subverted when turning into HMS, as most of his fur turns white, with only the quills becoming gold.
  • Next Tier Power-Up: The main concept of the character is to be a new form of Sonic over the normal Super form, giving him an expanded moveset as well.
  • Not So Invincible After All: Despite sounding and feeling like an all so powerful being, SMS is actually a Glass Cannon if used as a transformation, taking only 2 hits for the effect to wore off and make the player go back to normal Sonic (or any other Sonic the player is using). Subverted when using the non-transformation version of SMS, as he will instead lose rings like normal Sonic.
  • Power Makes Your Hair Grow: Transforming into Hyper Mystic Sonic will make the character hair grow, Super Saiyan 3 style.
  • Super-Empowering: SMS is able to use an ability called Power Share, which allows any close character to Super transform if they have 50 Rings. This also works with characters that have no Super form, which results in the characters gaining higher speed and jump by default.
  • Super Mode: When used as a transformation.
  • The Chosen One: Only Sonic (and not just Vanilla Sonic, as all characters that are specifically coded internally as Sonic work as well) can transform into Super Mystic Sonic. On top of that, the transformation is mapped on the Custom Action 3 button, and doesn't require the chaos emeralds to work.
