Species: rocket wisp
The Orange Rocket, also known as a Rocket wisp, is a transformation for potentially multiple users which appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is the Color Power gained by absorbing an Orange Wisp and its Hyper-go-on, which turns the user into a high-flying rocket.
The Orange Rocket made its first appearance in both the Wii and Nintendo DS version of Sonic Colors. In the Wii version of the game, the Orange Rocket can first be used in Sweet Mountain Act 3. In the Nintendo 3DS version on the other hand, the Orange Rocket is the second Color Power introduced in the game (not including the White Wisps), and is unlocked in Starlight Carnival. In gameplay on both versions of the game, when transforming into the Orange Rocket, the player will be sent flying upward for as long as the transformation is active, and under normal circumstances, the player cannot change direction while flying. The Orange Rocket can likewise smash through any airborne enemy caught in its path and penetrate thin layers in the ceilings, thus allowing shortcuts through the Acts. In addition on the Nintendo DS version, the Orange Rocket can utilize mechanical grabbers that can grab the Orange Rocket and change its trajectory when touched. However, if the Orange Rocket collides with an unbreakable surface, it will stay locked in that position until the transformation wears off. Also, when reverting back to normal from the Orange Rocket in both versions of the game while high up in the air, the playable character will start skydiving.
