Chaos Orbs

Chaos Orbs(カオスオーブ Kaosuōbu?) are yellow, translucent octahedron-shaped crystals. These glowing objects are exclusive to the PS3/Xbox360 version of Sonic Unleashed. When the player collects a Chaos Orb, it will increase the Experience Points(EP) for Sonic in his normal or Werehog form. These orbs can be collected by defeating enemies in the Day and Night Time stages. When Sonic defeats enemies in his normal form, the Chaos Orbs will automatically home in on him to collect. But in his Werehog form, Sonic must manually approach the orbs to collect it. Larger Chaos Orbs grant more Experience Points to the player in comparison to smaller ones.
