The Flicky's Super State is a transformation that appears in Sonic 3 & Knuckles. It is the Super State of Flickies, achieved through Hyper Tails with the power of the Super Emeralds. In gameplay, they will come to Hyper Tails' aid when he transforms to attack any nearby targets.

Appearance[]

When assuming their Super States, the Flickies blue plumage turns golden yellow and pulses, though they retain their red markings on their cheeks.

Overview[]

In the lock-on game Sonic 3 & Knuckles, four Flickies in their Super State will surround Hyper Tails (Super Tails) whenever he transforms. While present, these "Super Flickies" will instantly and automatically attack any enemy that comes in the near vicinity of Hyper Tails, be they normal Badniks or even bosses. Upon impacting the target, they will deal one hit worth of damage which will instantly target Badniks and even Hyudoros. Once Tails' transformation ends, the Flickies will revert back to normal as well and immediately fly away.

Powers and abilities[]

Due to being infused with at least the seven Chaos Emeralds' power, the Flickes accordingly command ultimate power and have access to unlimited energy.[1] In their Super State, the Flickies' innate abilities far surpasses their normal ones, making them strong enough to smash Badniks with a single strike. In addition to retaining their flight capabilities, the Flickies also gain virtual invulnerability.

Weakness[]

The Flickies' transformation is directly connected to Tails', meaning the Flickies will only remain in their Super State for as long as Tails can.

In other media[]

Archie Comics[]

HyperTails

The Flickies' Super State in the Archie Comics.

In the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics, the Flickies' Super State appeared in Sonic the Hedgehog #66 as constructs made up by Hyper Tails. They were used to combat Ugly Naugus but were ultimately frozen solid by the villain.

Trivia[]

  • As Flickies share the same color palette as Sonic in Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and Sonic 3 & Knuckles, Flickies will appear in this form whenever Sonic is Super Sonic. The same effect occurs with the red Flickies whilst playing as Knuckles/Hyper Knuckles.
  • The Flickies will not attack Knuckles during the boss fight with him in Hidden Palace Zone.
