It's totally arbitrary for Super Sonic to be yellow when the Chaos Emeralds are a variety of colors, too. Not only would Sonic's transformation look less like a DBZ ripoff it was multicolored, but it'd make more sense with the Chaos Emeralds, which are used for him to transform.
It doesn't have to literally be flashing different colors like Hyper Sonic in S3&K, either: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/4/4908c926.jpg https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/3/389b3972.jpg https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/f/f2637346.jpg --- Fammy fam ... Copied to Clipboard!

I think I read somewhere that Super Sonic was originally gonna be multicolored in Sonic 2 like Hyper Sonic in Sonic 3K but due to technological limitations they had to make him one color
If he had to be one color at first then he should have been either white or light blue --- Fammy fam ... Copied to Clipboard!

Yeah, but "supersonic" is a more recognizable term than "hypersonic". Like, if you have a character named Sonic, whose entire gimmick is speed, and he has a powered up or "super" form, and the term "supersonic" is right there, are you really gonna just not do it?

Super Sonic concept art and Super Saiyan Goku's debut. It was obviously inspired by Super Saiyan lol. If it just had a different name than Super and used a different color than yellow, then it would have at least been less blatant.

Well, in that case Ultra Instinct Goku ripped off Hyper Sonic. Nah, UI is silver. Hyper Sonic is a bunch of flashing colors in Sonic 3K, which was his only appearance. https://imgur.com/5e6K0XK It's long been alleged that those flashing colors cause seizures but there's never been any evidence that anyone got seizures over Hyper Sonic. But this flashing colors are pretty annoying to look at. Him being multicolored without flashing like in those fanarts would have been better (but in Sonic 3K, he could slowly change colors instead of flashing them). --- Fammy fam ... Copied to Clipboard!

At the end of the day, "Hyper Sonic" sounds less like "Super Saiyan" than "Super Sonic" does. It's not like "Super Sonic" needed a different name to avoid comparisons to Super Saiyan; just changing the color from yellow to anything else would have been enough, but the less similarities to Super Saiyan, the better.
