Orbs (Sonic Unleashed)

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.

1 Red Orb —> 20 Dark Gaia Force

1 Green Orbs <=> 5 Rings (but don't count as 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. The amount of Orbs emitted by an enemy will be multiplied by a factor depending on you beating it with a bigger combo. 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.

	Blue Orbs Item Box from the PS2/Wii version of Sonic Unleashed.

Once you collect a Secret Item or a Red Orbs Item Box and finish the level (during the night), that specific box will turn into a Blue Orbs Item Box for the next times you play that level. 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.
