The Black Material is an object that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is a type of Material which is used for construction.

Description[]

In Sonic Rush Adventure, Black Materials are orbs of a mysterious black substance, similar in appearance to cannonballs. In the Nintendo 3DS version of Sonic Lost World, they are black and purple lumps shaped like the universal horse shoes, but with the inner space filled up by the same matter. Despite the substance's apparent consistency, it is very versatile in modifying a number of devices.

In gameplay, the Black Materials Materials are used in conjunction with other Materials to upgrade various machines such as vessels or RC Vehicles.
