The screen zooms in on Sonic, and he transforms, based on the transformation animation from ''Sonic the Hedgehog 2''. When Sonic transforms, he gains the ability to fly around the stage at an incredible speed. The transformation lasts for about 15 seconds (though this can be extended by ramming into opponents and other things that can take damage, causing him to freeze for a moment), and is completely [[invincible]] for its duration. He is also unaffected by [[Bumper]]s. Sonic can attack in this form by simply ramming into opponents; the faster he is going, the more damage he deals. When the opponent is attacked, the move deals about 35%, but the first attack is roughly 25%, and never lower (the attacks are variable in function of this speed: 12%/19% in ''SSB4''). It is NOT similar in function to {{SSBB|Pikachu}}'s Final Smash, [[Volt Tackle]], except that it cannot go through hard [[platform]]s like Volt Tackle can (however, when Sonic is too slow or has stopped moving, he will be unable to go through soft platforms), and has better [[knockback]] and control. Super Sonic cannot [[KO]] himself when he reaches the [[blast line]], regardless of how far it is going, but if he turns back to normal while he is too far away to recover, he will be penalized with a [[self-destruct]].

Sonic's Final Smash is arguably among the strongest in ''Brawl'', as the player cannot take damage for its entire duration, and cannot be KO'd, unlike other transformations such as [[Wario-Man]] and [[Giga Bowser]]. Furthermore, an experienced player who has learned how to control Super Sonic's unwieldy movement can use his high damage output, knockback, and speed to guarantee multiple KOs. Even then, he can fly around a single target and rapidly rack up damage in a focused vicinity, making him hard to avoid.

The Final Smash returns in ''Ultimate'' largely unchanged in principle, but with one major alteration: the player has no control over his horizontal movement for the duration. He instead flies back and forth across the screen automatically (with even greater speed compared to the previous games), while the player can only control his vertical position. Overall, the move lasts for a much shorter duration, and can often be avoided completely by [[crouching]], or KOs can be avoided by taking the first hit and stalling in the air. Contact with Super Sonic inflicts 6% damage for each impact and weak vertical knockback, however towards the end of the move, the knockback of each hit is increased, and the ending hitbox deals 10% damage and fairly strong vertical knockback. This results in the move being considered greatly inferior to its prior iterations and is considered to be one of, if not the worst Final Smashes overall alongside [[Puff Up]].

How fast Sonic flies back and forth between the edges of the screen depends on the stage's camera view. On stages similar to the size of [[The Great Cave Offensive]], he flies slowly, while on a stage with a camera view similar to [[3D Land]], he flies very rapidly between the screen's edges, and the attack will often prove fatal to at least one opponent if used correctly.

In ''Ultimate'', the transformation gives the stage a backdrop resembling a dark void, similarly to where several final boss fights in the series take place, such as those against Solaris, Alf Layla wa-Layla, the Dark Queen, the Time Eater, and the Phantom King.

*Sonic's English voice clip in ''Brawl'' (voiced by [[Jason Griffith]]) upon activating the Final Smash was argued by some ''Brawl'' players on whether he yelled "'''Now''' I'll show you!", or "'''Here''' I'll show you!", due to the intense reverberation of the voice clip and a slight grunt Sonic makes before yelling his line. However, the Smash Bros. DOJO!! described the Final Smash with the earlier quote, and the raw, non-reverbing soundbyte in the game's data has him clearly yell "Now I'll show you!".
