Our take on Sonic Colors: Ultimate
The defining structure is a six-world amusement park where rescued Wisps grant Sonic powers for combat and alternate routes.
What is Sonic Colors: Ultimate?
Sonic races through six colorful worlds set in an interstellar amusement park built by Dr.
Eggman, who is using captured Wisps to power it. Players move through hazardous obstacles and enemies, time attacks to charge Sonic’s Boost, and use his speed to cross each stage. Rescuing Wisps gives Sonic access to their powers, which can be used against enemies and to uncover alternate routes. The Jade Wisp lets Sonic pass through solid objects. Worlds include a sweet-themed area and an aquarium environment. Rival Rush adds head-to-head races against Metal Sonic, with rewards to unlock.
