The Perfect Chaos of Super Sonic

  When I was 8 and had Sonic 2, I became a Sonic fanatic, and it drove me crazy to have never seen Super Sonic. This was before the internet too, so I couldn't just look him up. I could only imagine the possibilities. I only knew about him because my friends would tell me about it. Then I would listen to the sound test music and get so sad because I knew 14 was the super sonic music as it was one of two songs I hadn't heard in all of the hours I poured into the game. I didn't know anyone who knew the code to get him and it bummed me out so bad. Then one day, I went through the trouble of getting all of the chaos emeralds, not knowing what they were for and the screen said I could now turn to Super Sonic, but didn't say how. As I was playing, I collected 50 rings and jumped to a platform and it happened... I nearly lost my mind with excitement. I was shaking for the rest of that playthrough. That's a memory that will stick with me forever.

  With all 7 Seven Chaos Emeralds you can Manipulate the Realm of Reality to create a Miracle. Bending the Laws of Physics to create "Chaos".

  Normal fiction: Order vs Chaos<br><br>Sonic: Negative Chaos vs Positive Chaos<br><br>Edit: I originally put destructive chaos not negative chaos because I found out both negative and positive chaos are destructive.

  To me, Super Sonic always represented a similar mental/physical dynamic to super saiyan. A hero&apos;s personal peace and resolve within the chaos of their own body. Sonic and Goku are the types of heroes that can harness the chaos around them to bring about harmony rather than it corrupting them. They become the chaos, but as you say, in their hands, it is not a horror, but a spectacle of change.

  <i>&quot;What do you think when you hear the word Chaos?&quot;</i><br>Multicoloured emeralds and a giant creature made out of water...I must have made some terrible life choices.

  Not gonna lie, when you said &quot;This isn&apos;t perfect Chaos...This is&quot; and showed Super Sonic, it gave goose bumps.

  I liked how a book series put it. &nbsp;In &quot;The Land: &nbsp;Chaos Seed&quot; chaos is described as the power of <b>choice.</b> &nbsp;The protagonist, Richter, others see in him simultaneously the potential of great good and evil. &nbsp;But he is neither because he has not made his choice.

  Great retrospective. Playing as Super Sonic was a double edged sword for me in Sonic 2 and 3. So much fun to control but I missed the regular level music.

  Everyone asks where&apos;s Hyper Sonic, but no one ever asks how&apos;s Super Sonic

  &quot;One must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star&quot; Friedrich Nietzsche.<br><br>Somehow, I see parallels between that quote and Sonics&apos; transformation into Super Sonic once he has all 7 chaos emeralds
