For people who are familiar with Sonic and his ways in this entry, it’s a good test of your skills. The Metal Sonic Rival Rush is also appreciated. And, since we have seen it in a past spin-off, it helps retroactively validate its existence. The Yellow Drill would allow you to burrow through the ground in areas to also reach new places. This is the power up that lets Sonic pass through parts of the environment. Not to mention the use of the Wisps remains effective and again provides plenty of motivation to return to past stages to see what new powers allow you to do there.Īnd the new Jade Ghost Wisp variety fits in well with what’s already there. It is at its best when focusing on its brightly colored visuals and environmental designs. (I found the difficulty on levels rather balanced, but I am quite familiar with the series.) The bosses remain largely the same and aren’t as innovative as, say, the foes we faced in Sonic Mania. Even with Tails around to offer an assist, it may be a bit challenging for newcomers or kids. Also, as you might imagine, each park location ends with a “showdown” against one of Doctor Eggman’s major minions or a mech powered by the man himself.īut really, much of what held true about Sonic Colors remains so with Sonic Colors Ultimate. These segments transition well between each other in the same stages. Levels alternate between over-the-shoulder perspectives where you dash to get past enemies and obstacles, perhaps using a boost, chained jump attacks, or a twitch-dodging mechanic to ensure you’re in the right “lane.” Though at times, there will be more of an emphasis on finesse and accuracy as you deal with platforms or precarious areas from a 2D perspective where you watch from the side. For the most part, this remains a platformer where speed rules. Which provides an excuse for varied areas and different Wisp abilities. This means Sonic goes racing through the different areas of Doctor Eggman’s part. Fortunately, Sonic’s hunch means he’s now in the perfect position to help the Wisps and foil Doctor Eggman’s plan. It turns out the whole place involved stealing the Wisps’ planets and then capturing the aliens to abuse their power. Sonic and Tails discovered Doctor Eggman’s Amazing Interstellar Amusement Park is now open and make the (totally correct) assumption that something is shady about it. And, well, if someone likes Sonic’s games, it is still worth people’s time. Now the console version’s appearing in more places in a fresher, shinier version called Sonic Colors Ultimate. Sonic Colors is one of the better recent adventures in the Sonic the Hedgehog series, but initially only appeared on the Wii (and DS). It’s always great to see a remaster of a game that might actually deserve a return.
