The Lost Labyrinth treasure is a mysterious orb of unknown magenta energy that Metal Sonic discovers and obtains at Lost Labyrinth Zone during Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode Metal.
Description
The artifact appears to be a very powerful energy source. When harnessing it, Metal Sonic's physical attributes were amplified to the point where he could destroy entire tracklines with a single Spin Dash[1] and turn himself temporarily invulnerable when focusing its power. In addition, the artifact bestowed Metal Sonic with the ability to manipulate different energies. By charging his power, Metal Sonic's body would give off energy shockwaves, discharges and a magenta aura. He could also generate pillars of electricity and create massive energy spheres.
