Prisms
Appearances in other media
Description
A type of floating crystal.
The prism [1] (プリズム , Purizumu ? ) , also known as the blue diamond ,[2] is a gimmick that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series . By using the Cyan Laser on them, the prisms can lead the playable character to other sections or alternative paths in their level. They are based off of actual glass prisms that are used to reflect lasers.
Description [ ]
Despite their name, The prisms typically resemble large, cyan, octahedron-shaped glass shards (although they can take other shapes), which are found floating in midair or hovering just above ground in several levels.
In gameplay, when the player has the option to use the Cyan Laser , they can typically target nearby prisms by transforming into the Cyan Laser and aiming toward a prism. If the player hits the prism, it will directly guide the playable character to another prism in a straight line that will similarly repeat the pattern for another one until the prism string ends. This allows the player to take shortcuts throughout the Acts.
Game appearances [ ]
Sonic Colors [ ]
A group of prisms, from the Wii version of Sonic Colors .
The prism made its first appearance in both the Wii version and Nintendo DS version of Sonic Colors , and later the remaster Sonic Colors: Ultimate . In the Wii version and Sonic Colors: Ultimate in particular, for each prism the playable character passes through, the player will be earn 10,000 Color Bonus points . Touching a prism at all in the Nintendo DS version of Sonic Colors without using the Cyan Laser however, will cause the prism to shatter, leaving it unusable for a few seconds before it respawns.
Sonic Generations [ ]
A blue diamond, from the Nintendo 3DS version of Sonic Generations .
In the Nintendo 3DS version of Sonic Generations , the prisms are referred to as blue diamonds [2] and they only appear in Tropical Resort Act 2, being gimmicks exclusive to Modern Sonic . Otherwise, in gameplay, they maintain their standard mechanics.
Sonic Lost World [ ]
A prism, from the Nintendo 3DS version of Sonic Lost World .
In the Wii U version, PC version and Nintendo 3DS version of Sonic Lost World , the prisms reappear. In the Wii U/PC version, the prims are smaller than in Sonic Colors , but otherwise resemble their typical selves. In the Nintendo 3DS version on the other hand, they are more round in shape with triangle-shaped facets. In gameplay in the Wii U/PC version, they are intangible without the Cyan Laser , but in the Nintendo 3DS version, they can be targeted with the Homing Attack and even be shattered by the playable character's attacks.
Sonic Runners [ ]
In Sonic Runners , the prisms possess a different shape, being shaped like tetrahedrons . In gameplay, they appear on their own in the stages , but only when the Cyan Laser is in effect.
In other media [ ]
IDW Publishing [ ]
Prisms in the IDW Publishing comics.
In the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by IDW Publishing , they are depicted as being small enough to fit in the palm of a hand. They are mainly used by Whisper the Wolf to redirect her Variable Wispon 's Cyan Wisp -powered laser.[3] However, Sonic has used them before for Cyan Laser .[4]
