Sonic Unleashed (2008) and Sonic and the Black Knight (2009)
After the Werehog, Sonic Team went back to basics. Sonic Colours keeps the boost and the switches between 3D and side-on 2D from Sonic Unleashed, drops everything that slowed it down, and adds a twist of its own: the Wisps, colourful aliens whose powers turn Sonic into a laser, a drill, a rocket and more. The Wii version mixes high-speed runs with careful platforming, while Dimps’ Nintendo DS version is a 2D game in the style of Sonic Rush.
The setting is pure fun. Dr. Eggman has built a giant amusement park in orbit around Sonic’s planet, claiming he has turned over a new leaf, but his rides are powered by kidnapped Wisps. Sonic and Tails go to investigate, and Sonic sets off across seven planets of candy mountains, carnival fleets and aquariums to set the aliens free.
The game was designed to reach a wider audience, including younger players and Mario fans, and introduced a new English voice cast. Critics called it a return to form, it sold four million copies across both versions, and the Wisps have been part of the series ever since.

The diabolical Dr. Eggman has hatched another plan for world domination!
Sega’s story summary goes on to describe Eggman’s amazing interstellar amusement park, floating in space around Sonic’s home planet, and reveals that it runs on the energy of a captured alien race called the Wisps. Sonic discovers the park, finds he can use the aliens’ powers himself, and sets out to pass Eggman’s test “with flying colors”. The feature list promises non-stop speed, new power-ups drawn from the Wisps’ coloured energy, a unique set of Color Powers for each system, and a blend of 3D and classic 2D on Wii alongside dual-screen 2D on DS.

Plot / Story
Yacker, the Wisp who befriends Sonic and Tails.
Colours tells a short, cheerful story with a lot of jokes, most of them at Eggman’s expense. It was written for the West by Ken Pontac and Warren Graff, who had worked on MadWorld and Happy Tree Friends.
Welcome to Eggman’s park
Dr. Eggman has opened Dr. Eggman’s Incredible Interstellar Amusement Park, a string of small planets chained together in orbit, and announces it is his way of making up for past misdeeds. Sonic does not believe a word of it, and Tails comes along to investigate.
They soon catch Eggman’s new robot helpers, Orbot and Cubot, chasing a small alien. Tails rigs his Miles Electric into a translator, and the alien, Yacker, explains: he is a Wisp, and Eggman has captured his people so that their energy can drive a mind-control ray and put the whole planet under his command.

Setting the Wisps free
Sonic works his way through the park one planet at a time, freeing the Wisps and borrowing their powers as he goes, and shutting down the generators that hold the planets in place. Along the way he learns that Eggman is draining the captured Wisps and turning them into dark Nega-Wisps.
An early win has a lasting effect: when Sonic wrecks the giant robot Rotatatron, a stray arm flies off and damages Eggman’s mind-control ray. In the DS version, Sonic also runs into many old friends who are exploring the park for their own reasons.

Terminal Velocity
With every generator down, Eggman fires the ray anyway. The damaged machine explodes, and the energy of the Nega-Wisps tears open a black hole. Sonic and Tails race for Eggman’s space elevator, Sonic shoves Tails into the lift to send him to safety, and turns to face Eggman in the Nega-Wisp Armor, a machine that throws every Wisp power back at him.
The trapped Wisps break free mid-fight and lend Sonic their combined power to finish the job. Sonic is swallowed by the black hole, but the Wisps carry him back to the planet below, close the hole and return their worlds home. Yacker says goodbye, and in a final scene Eggman is left drifting through space with Orbot and Cubot pushing his broken Egg Mobile.

The DS ending
The DS version has one more twist. The Mother Wisp, leader of the Wisps, has been corrupted by the negative energy and become the Nega-Mother Wisp. Sonic uses the seven Chaos Emeralds to turn Super and battles her, restoring her to normal before the Wisps head home.
Planets in Sonic Colours
Eggman’s park is made of planets connected to a central hub. Each has six acts and a boss on Wii, and finishing all six opens a seventh, Terminal Velocity. Game Land, the co-op Sonic Simulator, hides the Chaos Emeralds.

Characters
Fans had asked for a game with Sonic alone in the spotlight, and Colours obliged. The rest of the cast is small: a sidekick, a villain, two new robot assistants and a race of aliens. The DS version adds cameo missions with a crowd of old friends.

How it was made
Our original page carried only Sega’s product description, so this history is new, built from Wikipedia’s cited development history, Sonic Retro and Sega Retro.
Made for everyone (mostly)
Key artwork.
Takashi Iizuka was frank about who Colours was for. Sega put it on Wii and DS to catch the huge crowd that had bought the Mario & Sonic Olympic games, and Iizuka described the target as casual players, children and Mario fans among them, adding that no Sonic game could ever satisfy every Sonic fan. That line set off alarm bells until Sega brand manager Judy Gilbertson promised that long-time fans were not being left out.
In practice Colours went back to basics. Work started once Sonic Unleashed was done in 2008, in parallel with Sonic Generations, and kept the core of Unleashed while chasing the mix of speed and platforming people remembered from the Mega Drive. Fans had asked for Sonic alone, so he is the only playable character, and there is no gimmick in the vein of the swordplay in Sonic and the Black Knight.
A theme park in space
Tropical Resort artwork.
An amusement park was on the table from the very start. On solid ground, though, a park looked too cramped for Sonic, so the team spread it across planets, which also gave each world its own character, and used Disneyland for visual reference.
The Wisps solved the variety problem: they change how Sonic moves without stopping him in his tracks or handing control to someone else. Some stages show Wisp routes before you own the Wisp that opens them, a nudge to come back later, and the Wii game borrows the PhysX physics engine from Sonic and the Secret Rings.
Two versions
Tropical Resort on DS.
Colours came in two quite different forms, much as Sonic had arrived on 8-bit and 16-bit machines in 1991. On DS, Dimps reused the Sonic Rush engine for a side-scroller spread over both screens, then added touch-screen special stages modelled on Sonic the Hedgehog 2, missions with familiar characters from across the series, a competitive two-player mode, an extra final boss and two Wisps of its own, Red Burst and Violet Void, which take the place of the Wii’s Hover, Spikes, Cube and Frenzy.
New voices
Colours was the first widely played game after Sega replaced the English cast it had used since Shadow the Hedgehog. Roger Craig Smith became Sonic, Kate Higgins voiced Tails and Mike Pollock carried on as Eggman, with Kirk Thornton and Wally Wingert as Orbot and Cubot. Sonic Retro notes that Sonic Free Riders reached shops slightly earlier with the new cast, but only on Kinect. The Japanese cast stayed largely the same.
Launch
A post on Sega’s blog announced Colours on 26 May 2010, and the game then toured E3, Gamescom, PAX and the Tokyo Game Show. To protect the brand, Sega withdrew several weakly reviewed Sonic games from sale shortly before launch, and on 4 November 2010 New York’s Bryant Park hosted a Sonic Colors skating event.
Release dates ran from Australia on 11 November 2010 through Europe on the 12th and North America on the 16th to Japan on the 18th. Pre-order extras differed by region: a Sonic-head hat from GameStop in North America, an arcade card in Japan and, in Europe, a special edition with figurines of Sonic and three Wisps.
Music
The opening.
Japan’s three-CD soundtrack, Vivid Sounds × Hybrid Colors, arrived on 22 December 2010, and the best-known names on it were Cash Cash. The band’s Jean Paul Makhlouf sang “Reach for the Stars” over the opening and shared the closing “Speak With Your Heart” with his brother Alex. Behind them, Tomoya Ohtani’s team of six composers went for something punchier than recent Sonic scores, and the Amsterdam Session Orchestra recorded the music you hear in the stages.
Firsts: what this game introduced
Colours introduced ideas and characters that became fixtures of the series.
1The WispsTheir debut. The Color Powers returned in Sonic Generations, Sonic Lost World, Sonic Forces and more.
2Orbot and CubotEggman’s bickering robot sidekicks first appear here.
3A new English castThe first widely played game with Roger Craig Smith as Sonic and Kate Higgins as Tails.
4Super Sonic in the stagesSonic Retro notes it was the first 3D Sonic game to let you play as Super Sonic in the normal levels, once all seven Emeralds are found.
Cheats & secrets
Our original page had no secrets section, so this one is new. Colours has no cheat codes; its extras are earned.
Red Star Rings and Game Land
Every act hides Red Star Rings. Collecting them unlocks acts in Game Land, Eggman’s Sonic Simulator, which one or two players can tackle as Sonic-shaped robots or their Miis.
Super Sonic
The third act of each Game Land set ends with a Chaos Emerald instead of a goal ring. With all seven, Sonic can turn Super in the normal stages after grabbing 50 rings: invincible, with endless boost, but unable to use Wisps and losing a ring every second. Super Sonic cannot be used in boss battles.
Revisiting stages
Some routes need Wisps that only turn up later in the game, so replaying finished acts with new powers opens new paths and hidden items.
Online leaderboards
Wii players could upload their scores to online leaderboards through the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.
Glitches, exploits and oddities
Colours shipped in good shape. These are its oddities, plus the problems of its 2021 remaster.
The hidden language menu
Every Wii release carries both English and Japanese voices, but the option to switch only appears after you start a new game and clear the first two acts of Tropical Resort.
Cubot’s voice chip
Cubot’s voice chip is on the blink for much of the story, a running gag rather than a bug.
A rough remaster
When Sonic Colors: Ultimate launched in September 2021, players reported bugs that were not in the original. The Switch version fared worst, with a lower frame rate, longer loading and flashing effects that raised epilepsy concerns, and the cutscenes, upscaled from 480p by machine learning, showed visible artefacts. Patches through December 2021 fixed many problems and let players switch back to the original soundtrack.
An uncredited engine
Players digging into the PC version of Ultimate found it had been built with the open-source Godot engine, which was not credited.

Trivia & facts
The hidden message.Screenshot via Sonic RetroIn one of the closing scenes, Tails’ Miles Electric shows three lines of hexadecimal. Decoded as Japanese Shift-JIS text, they read “thank you for saving us”, “you are welcome” and “If you can read this you’re a geek!”
The GameStop hat.Image via Sonic RetroGameStop’s pre-order bonus in North America was a hat shaped like Sonic’s head.
The European special edition came with a Sonic figurine and three Wisps: white, cyan and orange with the Wii game, yellow, red and blue with the DS game. In France and Spain it was sold through Carrefour, and Australia’s version added a blue Classic Controller.
Japanese pre-orders included a card for Sega’s arcade game Rekishi Taisen Gettenka, letting Sonic join its battles.
Eggman’s invitation.Image via Sonic RetroEggman sent out invitations to his park as part of the promotion.
The game’s planets borrow their look from Disneyland, which the developers used as a visual reference.
Sonic Retro points out that the Wii and DS launch echoes 1991, when Sonic arrived on both 8-bit and 16-bit consoles.

Colours put Sonic back on track with critics and fans, and its Wisps became a permanent part of the series. The A.V. Club later summed it up as the series rediscovering its knack for light, whimsical stories.

Critics were delighted. The Wii version’s visuals were ranked among the best on the console, the music was praised as jazzy and full of energy, and the new voice cast was welcomed as a big improvement. Reviewers liked how smoothly the game switched between 3D and side-on play, and the Wisps were the star: GamesRadar called them the best feature, and Game Informer was relieved they added something new without the Werehog’s drag on the pace.
There were complaints. Several reviewers found the difficulty steep, the bosses repetitive and the co-op Sonic Simulator dull, and GameSpot’s reviewer preferred plain platforming to the Wisp sections. Destructoid was the outlier, panning the controls and physics. Overall, though, Colours was hailed as one of the best Sonic games and a return to form after a difficult few years.
