Power Type is a character classification first implemented in Sonic Heroes and then used in later games. The theme color for the Power Type class is red in honor of the most notable member, Knuckles the Echidna.
Characteristics
In Sonic Heroes, the assigned element for the Power Type is fire. Their main purpose is destruction of either enemies or obstacles that might be in the way. They are also the only characters that can break the steal cage that holds the secret key in it that leads to the Special Stage. Unlike the other two types, Power Type characters can destroy any enemy. They attack by transforming their teammates into fire balls and throwing them at enemies.
Power Type characters are the only characters that can destroy road obstructions in Sonic Riders. Though, there are special Extreme Gear that grant other types power. In Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity, power is not dependant on the character but on the Gear that is used. Air Bikes and Wheels are the only Gears that can destroy obstructions. Because of this, Dr. Eggman can only be a Power Type as these are the only kinds of Gear he can ride.
Power is also a distinctive class in Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games.
