Part 2: Contest Challenge 02 Results

Carnival Night Zone essay contest is over!

Here's what I was thinking of. For some reason (palette issues maybe), balloons that are this shade of blue start glowing with Super Sonic.

Now here are the winning essays!

And brehonia nabs 1st place and 5 points with a retcon:
In the Carnival Night Zone, when you become Super Sonic, some of the balloons do too. Most people think this is a palette issue, but in truth they are actually Super Balloons, with their own place in the series canon. Gerald Robotnik was a dick and made Shadow blow up all the hundreds of balloons needed for the Zone. This angered Shadow greatly. All of his rage was contained within a few balloons thanks to static electricity, the colour blue and Lock-On technology. Years later, some of Sonic's Super power leaks into the balloons as he approaches them, igniting the rage and turning them Super-Saiyan.
