Purpose	Bestowment of super transformation attributes.
Description	A large bubble-like shield, powered by rings, that grants the wielder super transformed abilities, attributes and skills.

The Super Shield was featured in the game Sonic Heroes. The Super Shields were created by Super Sonic to allow Knuckles the Echidna and Miles "Tails" Prower to assist him the final battle against Metal Overlord.

DescriptionEdit

They grant the users abilities and attributes identical to that of a super transformation, such as added power, the ability to fly, and invincibility, and requires Ring energy to be maintained (the player loses one ring per second), without using an acutal super transformation, which includes the user going through a physical change. Gameplay-wise, the Super Shields have no impact on gameplay, except giving Knuckles and Tails new and/or improved movesets to combat Metal Overlord.

In Sonic Heroes, when Sonic transformed into Super Sonic, he transfered some of his energy to Knuckles and Tails. Instead of a complete super Transformation, they get a Super Shield that allowed them to fight on the same level as super transformed character. After the battle with Metal Overlord, Knuckles and Tails lost their Super Shields, as they possibly ran out of sufficient energy to be maintained, once the team powered down.

Strangely, only one Ring per second is used between the three members on Team Super Sonic, as opposed to three. This may be because that since the Super Shields were created by Super Sonic, they are maintained by his power alone, which allows only Super Sonic to burn through their shared ring count instead of three people at once.
