Red Material

The Red Material is an object that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is a type of Material which is used for construction.

Description

In Sonic Rush Adventure, Red Material resembles red crystal clusters sprouting from a disk-shaped lump of grey rock. In the Nintendo 3DS version of Sonic Lost World, they are red lumps in the form of an orb-shaped crater with a yellow glow within its core, much like lava. Despite the substance's apparent consistency, it is very versatile in building a number of devices.

In gameplay, the Red Materials are used in conjunction with other Materials to build and/or upgrade various machines, such as vessels or RC Vehicles.
