The Time Stones, mysterious stones found somewhere on Little Planet. It is said that those who get the Time Stones will be given the power of miracles. When Sonic collects the seven Time Stones...?
The Time Stones[2][3] (タイムストーン[4],Taimu Sutōn?) are objects that appear in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. They are seven gemstones that lie dormant on Little Planet, and have the power to control time.
Overall, the Time Stones are depicted as seven hexagonal stones that come in the colors red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and cyan. Their size, however, has been rather inconsistent; when Sonic was obtaining them, they were shown to be about the size of the hedgehog's head, while in a possible event of the Little Planetincident, one of them as small enough to fit inside of Dr. Robotnik's palm.[5]
Powers and abilities[]
The Time Stones have the power of freely controlling time to perform amazing wonders, like transforming a desert into a jungle, and turning a polluted lake into a beautiful one;[4] just one Time Stone can be used to make impressing actions, like transporting entire planets across spacetime and restore the state they had at some point in the past.[5] Additionally, with all seven Time Stones in hand, the user is able to command time itself[3] in order to cause miracles to happen.[1]
In gameplay, Time Stones can be collected in seven different Special Stages. In order to enter a Special Stage, the player has to hold fifty or more Rings and jump into the Giant Ring at the end of a Zone. In a Special Stage, the player has to destroy all the UFOs to get a Time Stone. Collecting all seven Time Stones destroys every robot transporter automatically, thus always ensuring a good future for every Zone. Additionally, even if the player has finished at least one Zone with a bad future, they will get the good ending anyway.
Other game appearances[]
Sonic Speed Simulator[]
In Sonic Speed Simulator, Dr. Eggman successfully collected the Time Stones and used them in Green Hill to cause a dimensional merge between the present and past. This backfired, however, causing Classic Tails to be stuck between time, the sky above Green Hill Zone becoming distorted, and all seven Time Stones to shatter into thousands of shards. The player must then collect all 250,000 shards in the event, at which point the Time Stones will be remade, causing Classic Tails to be saved and being unlocked as a playable character.
In the Sonic the Hedgehog television series, there were two Time Stones. They were found on the Floating Island, safeguarded by several forces. Sonic and Sally tried using them to go back in time and prevent Dr. Robotnik's takeover of Mobotropolis, but the plan failed.
In the Sonic the Comic series published by Fleetway Editions, there are only six Time Stones rather than seven (at the time, the series also included only six Chaos Emeralds). Their appearance was also somewhat inconsistent as they were both presented as gemstones and regular-looking oval rocks.
Hidden on the Miracle Planet, Dr. Robotnik eventually found a Time Stone and used it to cyberform all of Miracle Planet. As a part of a bizarre time paradox however, Sonic was able to use a Time Stone to undo Robotnik's work by changing history.
