Darkspine Sonic is a powerful form that Sonic the Hedgehog takes at the end of Sonic and the Secret Rings, when Sonic accidentally absorbs the power of three of the World Rings, and uses it to fight and defeat Alf-Layla-wa-Layla.

Overview

Darkspine Sonic's quills point downwards and he gets a deep indigo color (which is much brighter in the CG cutscene). He loses his pupils, shoes and mouth, and his muzzle, chest, and ears turn white. He wears giant rings around his wrists and ankles and gains two stripes on the top of his head, the middle quill of his back and on his feet. He is also surrounded by a flaming orange aura. Additionally, Darkspine Sonic has a much gruffer voice than normal, which resembles the voice of the Werehog.

This transformation was brought on to Sonic by three of the seven World Rings, the rings of sadness (purple), rage (red), and hate (green). This form can thus be considered an incomplete transformation, as Alf-Layla-wa-Layla even comments that Sonic shouldn't be able to beat him as Darkspine Sonic, a form he presumes to be inferior to his, not understanding his own form also comes as an incomplete transformation, due to the failure in the ritual he used to attain it, possibly making Darkspine a more controlled and powerful form, even though it doesn't use all of the World Rings.

Gameplay

Darkspine Sonic is able to fly, but is not invincible (or at least not invulnerable to Alf-Layla-wa-Layla's powerful attacks) and doesn't depend on rings. He can be attacked just like regular Sonic and can keep his form with no rings. Unlike Super Sonic, Darkspine Sonic takes a more physical approach to fighting as he attacks with barrages of punches and kicks as opposed to Super Sonic's head butting.

Voice actors

In English, Darkspine Sonic is voiced by Jason Griffith. In Japanese, he is voiced by Jun'ichi Kanemaru.
