Sonic Colors: Ultimate

About

Sonic Colors: Ultimate is a fast-paced platformer where you zip through Dr. Eggman’s flashy interstellar amusement park. Play as Sonic or Tails as you chase down alien energy sources called Wisps across six vibrant worlds. Each level mixes traditional platforming with speed-running challenges, letting you collect rings and battle Eggman’s bots. Co-op modes let you team up to solve puzzles or race against the clock. The game keeps things simple but chaotic with power-ups that let you float, teleport, or summon shields mid-sprint. The bright, cartoonish art style pops on every platform it’s on, from Switch to PC. Multiplayer adds replay value, though the story remains straightforward and campy. With 2021 launch reviews noting its “solid mechanics and nostalgia factor,” this remake updates 2010’s game with sharper visuals and smoother controls. It’s a brief but lively romp for fans of old-school Sonic who want quick, colorful fun without deep lore. Released in September 2021, it sits at 78% on Metacritic.
