Kakama

"The desert landscape passed in a yellowish blur, all details obscured by the Toa's immense speed. After a moment, the yellowish blur shifted into a brown one punctuated by flashes of green, and then quickly grew paler again until all Pohatu could see around him was white."
— Narrator, Tale of the Toa

The Kanohi Kakama is the Mask of Speed.

Powers

The Kakama provides a consistent additive boost to the user's natural speed, allowing them to move and run at incredible speeds on all surfaces, far faster than the eye can follow. The mask also grants the user heightened reflexes to keep up with the increased speed, along with resistance to the friction the increased speed causes. During use, the user can reach such heightened speed of perception that their surroundings appear to be frozen or in slow-motion.

On Metru Nui, Kanohi Kakama are made from a combination of Teleport and Reconstitute at Random Kanoka.
