Invincibility, also known as Invincible[1][2] and known as Muteki (無敵) in Japan, is a power-up found in most Sonic games, obtained by breaking a monitor marked with four-pointed stars or a sparkling shield. It temporarily protects the player from harm, as well as allowing them to destroy most enemies by touching them. While the player is immune to most traps and attacks, it is still possible to be killed by being crushed, drowning, falling off the level, or (in Sonic & Knuckles) losing all their rings to Toxomister's smoke (which they are not invincible from).
While invincible, the player is surrounded by a sparkling effect which varies in appearance from game to game. In the 2D Mega Drive-era games, characters were surrounded by flickering stars, while in 3D Invincibility tends to take the form of a rainbow aura.
