The Orbs are Dark Gaia fragments of energy that can be found in the Night Stages of the PS2/Wii versions of Sonic Unleashed, and exist as a result of Dark Gaia being scattered all around the world at the beginning of the game. They appear in three variants:

  • Red Orbs are converted into Dark Gaia Force when you finish a level;
  • Blue Orbs fill your Unleash Gauge when collected;
  • Green Orbs fill your Health Bar when collected, just like Rings, but don't add to the ring count.
1 Red Orb = 20 Dark Gaia Force
1 Green Orb correspond to 5 Rings

Overview

All varieties of Orbs can be spawned by beating Dark Gaia's enemies and bosses at night, each enemy emitting a specific combination of Orbs:

— No Orbs

The amount of Orbs emitted by an enemy will be multiplied by a factor, rounded down, depending on you beating it in the middle of a Were-Wallop combo (x1,5 during a yellow combo, after one Were-Wallop; x2 during a green combo, after two Were-Wallops).

The Dark Gaia Phoenix, the Dark Moray, the Dark Guardian and the Egg Dragoon night bosses each release 50 Red Orbs (equivalent to 1000 Dark Gaia Force).

Red and Blue Orbs can also be spawned by collecting the respective Item Boxes (which countain variable amounts of Orbs) or breaking objects, such as jars and ice (which contain one Orb each), but not wooden boxes.

Spawned Orbs will first float around the place where they appeared from for a few seconds, and then fly in the direction of the Werehog, being absorbed by him. Once you collect a Secret Item or a Red Orbs Item Box in a Night Stage and finish the level, that specific box will turn into a Blue Orbs Item Box for the next times you play that level.

Orb Result/Dark Gaia Force

At the end of a Night Stage, you are brought to the Orb Result screen, where the Red Orbs you collected during the level are converted into Dark Gaia Force (also called EXP) and stored to a maximum of 72,000. Reaching certain amounts of stored Dark Gaia Force causes upgrades the Werehog's stats – Attack Power, Health Bar and Unleash Gauge – up to 4 times each (ranging from level 1 to level 5), and teaches him new techniques, expanding his range of attacks:

Were-Claw (1000 Dark Gaia Force)

Combo Level Up (2500 Dark Gaia Force)

Reviving with Green Orbs

When an enemy attacks the Werehog and empties his Health Bar, a small animation will play, where numerous Green Orbs spawn around the Werehog and restore the entire Health Bar, reviving him. This consumes a 1-up. You must have at least a 1-up left for this to happen, otherwise you just lose the level.
