Whenever something or someone moves at high-speed, especially when flying or running, there is a good chance a path of color will be left behind. Said path may be stylized with sparkles, fire, Battle Aura, stripes, or even rainbows, for the sake of Rule of Cool. A contrail is a physical presence of some kind being emitted by the engine of the motion as exhaust. In real life, contrails are the condensation of water exhaust products from burning jet fuel that mixes with other particulate exhaust products to form a cloud. You do not see it at ground level because the air temperatures are too warm for this to occur. The defining principle here that would keep it from being a form of Motion Blur is that a blur is not physically there, but is supposed to be an optical illusion for depicting a Ludicrous Speed. This is a direct product of the cause of motion (such as jet engine exhaust) or is used to depict a power or ability that would cause such motion (like depicting a Barrier Warrior's force field as being used as a propellant) — or when it cannot be determined if it is one or the other. Compare Burning Rubber, Speed Stripes, and Speed Echoes. When applied to a bullet, see Every Bullet is a Tracer; when applied to swords (or other melee weapons) see Sword Lines. Can be associated with Rainbows and Unicorns if unicorns leave a trail of colors. |

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone: On his first trip to Diagon Alley, Harry tries many wands in Garrick Ollivander’s shop before finding the one that suits him best. When he waves his perfect match for the first time, a trail of red and gold sparks shoots out of the end (a subtle allusion to his future placement in Gryffindor House at Hogwarts). | |

Castle Crashers: The player characters reach the Evil Wizard's castle after an enemy gauntlet only for it to launch into the air. The heroes respond by... doing the exact same thing, launching off of the ground with their magic and flying to catch up with the airborne castle, with a colorful trail behind them, even colored after each character's magic element. | |

Heroes: In "The Second Coming", Hiro meets his "archnemesis" Daphne, who is a speedster. He stops time, then follows the motion blur streak which exists In-Universe to where she's stopped — and then she moves! She's moving so fast that even with time standing still she can travel at (what appears to be) normal speed. | |

Various minor characters sometimes generate contrails as well. If the contrail is flat, horizontal, and ribbon-like, it usually means Sonic, or other playable characters, can run atop the contrail as if it was a long, solid platform and chase down the character generating the contrail. Examples include gargoyles in Sonic and the Secret Rings, who leave yellow trails that Sonic can use to travel between segments in Levitated Ruin; and SQUID and WYVERN in Sonic Frontiers, with SQUID leaving a purple contrail from its body and WYVERN leaving a red contrail from its spines, both of which allow Sonic to run along them to catch up to and attack them while they're flying through the air. | |

RWBY: Ruby Rose has a speed Semblance that allows her to move extremely fast. Whenever she activates it, she leaves behind a highly styalised trail of red rose petals that then dissipate into the wind. Neon Katt zips around on a pair of rollerblades, leaving behind a colourful rainbow streak whenever she moves. She is inspired by the Nyan Cat meme. Harriet Bree has a speed Semblance that is lightning themed. Whenever she activates it, lightning arcs through her eyes and feet, and she leaves behind streaks of yellow lightning as she runs. In Volume 8, Oscar begins unconsciously tapping into an ability that super-speed his strikes; it creates so many Speed Echoes of his arm that they blur together into a green contrail effect. It's sign of the scale of power inheritance Oscar has received from Ozpin, who used the same ability against Cinder in Volume 3. |

The Flash (2014): Speedsters give off lightning trails when they run. These may be differently-colored in order to indicate certain conditions or to differentiate speedsters in the same scene: Barry Allen, Jesse Quick, Wally West, and Jay Garrick have yellow lightning, indicating a pure speed force connection (though Barry and Jay have a reddish tint to theirs). Reverse Flash and Nora West-Allen have red lightning under the effects of the Negative Speed Force. Blue lightning is an indicator of the speedster using Velocity X serum. Savitar and Godspeed have white lightning, indicating incredible, unnatural speed. Accelerated Man and Iris (when temporarily given Barry's powers in Season 4) have violet lightning, which becomes an early clue that the "Mystery Girl" with purple and yellow lightning is Barry and Iris's daughter. |

Mega Man X8: Whenever a character dashes, faint contrails of their primary colors as they dash (blue for X without the Neutral Armor, red for Zero or X's Icarus Armor, black for Axl, etc.). This also applies when performing a dashing wall kick. | |

TRON: Light cycles leave a solid wall of light in their wake, as they are used in a game where the goal is to make the other racer(s) crash into the opposite wall. Continued in TRON: Legacy, although the light walls are now three-dimensional and can be curved or leave the ground. And they're not limited to light cycles, but also part of a dogfight between light planes and a light bomber. |

Sonic the Hedgehog: In the 3D games, characters will, under certain circumstances, leave behind a color-coded trail of light. Sometimes, it fits the color of the character. Other times, like with Shadow's orange trail, it doesn't. Various minor characters sometimes generate contrails as well. If the contrail is flat, horizontal, and ribbon-like, it usually means Sonic, or other playable characters, can run atop the contrail as if it was a long, solid platform and chase down the character generating the contrail. Examples include gargoyles in Sonic and the Secret Rings, who leave yellow trails that Sonic can use to travel between segments in Levitated Ruin; and SQUID and WYVERN in Sonic Frontiers, with SQUID leaving a purple contrail from its body and WYVERN leaving a red contrail from its spines, both of which allow Sonic to run along them to catch up to and attack them while they're flying through the air. |

The Powerpuff Girls: The three eponymous superheroines tend to leave a brightly colored trail matching their respective colors when they fly. Later episodes have people who develop similar powers leaving their own similarly colored trails, one episode having an empowered squirrel leaving an orange colored one. The Powerpuff Girls (2016) subtly expands on this with the girls' new unique motifs involving shapes by adding them to their contrails. Blossom has squares, Bubbles has circles and Buttercup has triangles. | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: In general, certain pegasi, usually the fastest fliers, leave colorful contrails behind themselves as they fly. Rainbow Dash leaves a rainbow trail in the same colors as her mane, Lightning Dust has an orange-and-yellow lightning bolt the color of her mane on a green background the color of her coat, and the Wonderbolts trail thunderclouds. "Power Ponies": When Pinkie Pie/Filli-Second moves in Super-Speed, she trails a pink-and-magenta streak superimposed with a white lightning bolt. "Twilight's Kingdom": After Twilight temporarily absorbs the other three princesses' magic, she leaves a trail of white sparkles and indigo and purple stripes in the same color as her mane while flying. "What About Discord?": Discord leaves a plaid contrail behind himself when flying next to Rainbow Dash. |

In Rodina, Xeno Scouts leave behind themselves a trail of green smoke which helps the player in spotting them from large distances. By holding the "clutch" button, the player's ship can similarly emit a lime trail which helps indicate the ship's direction of motion, which is not necessarily the same one it's facing. | |

When she uses the super-charged Dragon Boost, a blue trail appears behind her. Blue trail also appears when she inflicts the Extreme Mêlée Revenge on Lord Brevon for hurting Milla after the final fight with multiple Dragon Boosts, with the last one creating the trail. | |
