The Super XX is a giant mecha which appears in various forms throughout most of the Sonic Wings series. It first appears as Super X Kai, a green hovering craft shaped somewhat like a flying saucer. This later proves to be the head of the mecha, once it attaches to a much larger four-legged body.

In first the Escape Express manga then later Sonic Wings Special, Super X Kai also attaches itself to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building to become the head of a more humanoid mecha. The idea of the building becoming a giant robot seems to be a running joke in Japan, and in the manga, Gore refers to it by the more common name of 都庁ロボ (Tocho-Robo). In Sonic Wings Special, the mecha is given the name "Tokion" in the "movie cast" listing shown during one of Hien and Mao Mao's endings.

Inspiration[]

Superxgojira

The Super X in Godzilla.

Super XX likely takes its name from an aircraft named the Super X in the Godzilla series, to which Super X Kai is similarly shaped. The kanji 改 ("kai") appended to its name means "modified," implying that it is a modified successor to the Super X.

Sonic Wings[]

Stage: Japan

Super X Kai, the head of what will in later games be Super XX, first appears as a large, green, hovering aircraft which bursts out of a building at the end of the Japan stage. It shoots fireballs and extends long, mechanical arms to attack. The craft is marked with the kanji 改 ("kai"), meaning "modified."

Sonic Wings 2[]

Stage: Japan

The full Super XX first appears in Sonic Wings 2. The Super X Kai bursts out of a building early in the stage and disappears deeper into Tokyo. At the end of the stage, it comes out of a shinkansen (bullet train) station, as it did from a building in Sonic Wings. The Super X Kai attaches itself to a four-legged mecha body, and the whole contraption then walks backward over the train tracks (and trains) while shooting at the player's aircraft.

Sonic Wings Special[]

The Super XX in Sonic Wings Special.

Stage: Tokyo (Super X Kai, Tokion), Grand Canyon (Super XX)

Both sections of Super XX appear in Sonic Wings Special, with Super X Kai showing up at the end of the first stage in the game. It again bursts out of a building and shoots at the player. Much later in the game, the Super XX walker appears as the boss of the Grand Canyon stage, without showing the Super X Kai as a separate craft. Super XX again walks backwards and shoots at the aircraft, leaving tracks in the sand.

After defeating the game with any character, the Tokyo level changes in some areas if replayed with that character. Now during the boss fight, instead of bursting from the building, the Super X Kai attaches itself to the top, and the whole building comes to life as the giant humanoid mecha Tokion.

Sonic Wings Limited[]

Stage: Mato Grosso (Super XX)

Super X Kai does not appear in Limited, but the complete Super XX is the boss of the Mato Grosso stage. It behaves the same as it does in Special.

Sonic Wings Assault[]

The Super XX in Sonic Wings Assault.

Stage: Tokyo

Found in Tokyo, the Super X Walker puts the imperial Walkers to shame. As tall as this monster appears, you won't have too much trouble knocking it to the ground. Before it takes out too many buildings, feed it full of lead.

Aerofighters Assault game manual

The "walking fortress" Super XX is the first boss encountered in Assault and therefore fairly easy to take down. It is best defeated by firing at its legs while flying at a low altitude. Super X Kai does not appear as a separate craft.

Sonic Wings Special for Android[]

Stage: Tokyo (Super X Kai), Grand Canyon (Super XX)

Super X Kai serves as the boss of the first level of the game, bursting out of the buildings in Tokyo and shooting at the player. As in the original Sonic Wings Special, the Super XX walker is later the boss of the Grand Canyon.
