Image by Sega Return to the Ultimate thrill ride Sonic Colors debuted on Nintendo Wii and DS, with each version having special features unique to its platform. It was developed with a more casual audience in mind, particularly hoping to appeal to a “ younger” fan base, according to producer Takashi Iizuka. Taking into consideration criticism of prior games, developers Sonic Team and Dimps worked to make the gameplay more balanced. The result was a colorful, fast track experience with a solo Sonic at the helm, without the gimmicks like swordplay and addition playable characters fans had disliked in previous titles. The next Sonic game in the franchise after Sonic Unleashed, Colors featured the expected platform gameplay, collecting of golden rings and trouncing enemies as in previous titles.

While it might be a hard sell for those that have already experienced the intergalactic highs of the original, Sonic Colours: Ultimate is packed with value and tweaks that make it well worth your time if you haven’t jumped into it before. Sonic Colors largely holds up well, and Ultimate is a great way to return or introduce yourself to what is arguably the best designed 3D Sonic game so far.

That said, it was already great in 2010, and still holds up as one of the best modern Sonic games to date thanks to its imaginative level designs, a laser focus on the things that make the series fun, and the addition of power granting Wisps that add a ton of variety to each level without compromising the speed that should define a Sonic game. It might not have the highs of Unleashed or Generations, but it also is a far more focused affaiĪs a remaster, Sonic Colors: Ultimate throws in a decent amount of new stuff, but nothing beyond the frame rate and resolution bump really add up to anything that elevates the experience beyond what it was on the Wii. It won’t change your mind if you never liked the 3D style of gameplay, but if you did, Colors is arguably the best of the lot. Even a decade out from its initial release, it’s still a darn fun game, and Colors Ultimate definitely captures the feel. It’s the “run incredibly fast through loops” gameplay boiled down to its essentials, and it works really well.

It’s Sonic as a single playable character, so there are no werehogs, gameplay changes, or an adorable pudgy younger version of himself. In many ways, Sonic Colors: Ultimate represents the unhindered high points of the 3D Sonic games. It might sound hyperbolic because Colors is one of the better ones to trot out, but I hope this ensures that Sega stops trying to hide its Sonic history. From the enhanced graphics and extra customization, to the addition of the Tails Save mechanic, Rival Rush, and a brand new and elusive Wisp, Sonic Colors: Ultimate has proven to be the most colorful remaster in Sonic’s history.It may be a rehash of a decade-old game instead of an entirely new one, but Sonic Colors: Ultimate still manages to pass the test with flying colors. Sega aims to please Sonic fans during the Blue Blur’s 30th anniversary, trying to learn from the mistakes of Sonic games that launched this past decade and improve on them. Sonic Colors Ultimate is an excellent remaster of an already great game with many gameplay and graphical improvements.
