Using the Cyan Laser Wisp, which slingshots Sonic in laser form to a specific target, I was able to pinpoint exactly where I wanted to hit without the dotted line slipping sideways or downward, making for a much improved experience from the overly fiddly original. On PS4, the controls for Sonic’s movements and Wisp power-ups operate with high precision, giving you greater influence over which movements you want to make. While the original Sonic Colors was made for the Wii to further experiment with fitting motion controls to Sonic, Ultimate is out for PS4 (the version I reviewed), Xbox One, and PC - which don't allow for this level of motion control - as well as the Nintendo Switch, which does. It doesn't feel like steel should stop a ghost, but perhaps the steel is ghost-proof for security purposes. In Act 2 of Planet Wisp, for example, I couldn’t get through the tower of steel boxes to reach the target on the other side. The Ghost Wisp may look adorable and turn the Blue Blur into Danny Phantom (sort of), but its powers are not always perfect, as it doesn’t get through every single barrier. The Jade Wisp is a new addition to Ultimate that gives Sonic ghost powers, helping him get Red Star Rings, Park Tokens, and other coveted items in areas he wouldn’t normally reach. Since Sonic is rescuing them, he gains their powers in order to work his way through obstacles, beat Eggman’s robots, and reach his goals quicker. Sonic and Tails sneak into the park via an unattended shuttle with the keys left inside, and discover that the captured aliens are capable of sharing their abilities with someone they trust.
This Walt Disney-wannabe scientist is powering the park with the energy of an alien race called Wisps, whom he captured from Planet Wisp - very creative naming. Here guests can enjoy all the rides and attractions at all five planets for the price of one - now you see why all that talk of rollercoasters and Disney World was in the intro, eh? Pretty clever. Eggman’s Incredible Interstellar Amusement Park. Eggman creates the theme park to end all theme parks, dubbed Dr. Related: Sonic The Hedgehog Has Its Knuckles, So Who Should Voice Shadow? In another blast from the (even further) past, it felt just as silly as distorting Mario’s floating face in Super Mario 64. The title screen teems with color and noise as Sonic and his band of Wisps race from side to side, perfectly capturing the speed and clamor this series is so beloved for.
Playing the game for the first time in a decade felt like stepping onto a Disney World ride that zipped through multiple stages packed with fascinating themes and iconic characters, all presented in dizzying ways for the enjoyment of riders of all ages. Sonic Colors: Ultimate took me on a joyride down memory lane - a lightning fast, endlessly colorful rollercoaster I never wanted to get off.
