The Burst Wispon[1] is an object that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is a Wispon that is themed after the Red Wisp. The Burst Wispon can be used by Avatar, allowing the character to expel a flamethrower and perform midair jumps.
Modeled after the Red Wisp, the Burst Wispon is a red-colored Wispon that has a fireball-shaped frame that is held together by several black nozzles. These nozzles are attached to a white barrel. It also has three holes on its front, keeping with the Red Wisp-motif. It also has a black handle on the back that allows the wielder to hold it in a comfortable grip.
Features and abilities[]
As its name implies, the Burst Wispon can harness the power of the Red Wisp. Through this method, one can channel the power of the Red BurstColor Power through the Burst Wispon, thus allowing the Burst Wispon to produce combustive fire bursts powerful enough to send its user flying into the air. The Burst Wispon also serves as a flamethrower that can spew flames hot enough to make Badniks explode.
Like when using an actual Color Power though, the Burst Wispon is activated by the Red Wisps' cooperation, meaning it cannot be used by users that the Red Wisps do not like.[2]
Overview[]
In gameplay, the Burst Wispon can destroy Badniks with ease. Its special attack also allows the user to jump up higher with an explosive burst of flames that can be used consecutively to reach higher areas.
The initial basic Burst Wispon is given after creating an Avatar for the first time during a new game. By advancing through the game, the player can unlock different variants of the Burst Wispon. These variants all have the same basic functions, but offer additional Skills to the player when equipped:
Just before the war between the Resistance and the Eggman Empire ended, there were two mercenaries named Rough and Tumble (who were armed with a Burst Wispon and Drill Wispon respectively) who saved Barricade Town, a town that distributed Burst Wispons, from Dr. Eggman's forces. Once they were let inside Barricade Town however, the mercenaries took over the town and stole all the town's Wispons for themselves, along with the Wisps needed to power them.[3]
Fallout![]
When a Badnik force attacked a town, the local militia and several of the residents armed themselves with Burst Wispons and other Wispons which they used to fight off the invading robots. After listening to the commands of Amy Rose, the armed citizens fell back to the Town Hall, where they, on Amy's mark, successfully destroyed a wave of Badniks with the Burst Wispons and other Wispons.[4]
When Sonic and Knuckles entered Barricade Town, the duo eventually clashed with Rough and Tumble. During their battle, Rough attempted to use a Burst Wispon against the heroes. However, his Burst Wispon was left without power when Sonic convinced the Wisps in the villains' Wispons to betray Rough and Tumble by leaving their Wispons. After the two villains were defeated, the town's Burst Wispons were returned to their owners.[3] A militia soldier in Tangle the Lemur's home town later made use of a Burst Wispon to defend her town when a horde of Badniks showed up.[5]
Crisis City[]
When a Zombot outbreak erupted in Sunset City, the city's defense force would use Burst Wispons to keep the advancing Zombots at bay while they organized and evacuated the survivors.[6]
