Sonic Colors: Ultimate
Developer Blind Squirrel Entertainment
Sonic Colors (known as Sonic Colours in PAL regions) is a 2010 platform game developed by Sonic Team and published by Sega. It follows Sonic's quest to stop his nemesis Doctor Eggman from enslaving an alien race and taking over the world. The gameplay is similar to prior Sonic games, with players collecting rings and defeating enemies; the camera perspective often switches from third-person to side-scrolling… From Wikipedia (CC BY-SA 4.0)

unlabelledView post →This track is called "Terminal Velocity (Act 1)"! Sonic Colors was a chill game! The game had some cool stages, and the gameplay was a ton of fun as well! (I mostly avoided using wisps tho 😅) The soundtrack was an absolute bop as well, and the game had some hilarious moments 🤣 it was a good time!
unlabelledView post →I know I’m beating a dead horse but I cannot believe how badly Sonic Colors Ultimate runs on steam deck The game literally freezes for a moment every time I pick up a tails head Like dawg the steam port came out like 2 years after the original release 😭
unlabelledView post →In Sonic Colors Ultimate, the credits include a long and arduous legal agreement. If at the end the player jumps into a ring labelled 'No', it will result in a Game Over.
unlabelledView post →Silver Generations! 🩶 Sense Silver hasn't appeared in mainline games aside from Sonic 06' and Sonic Forces, i feel like a good chunk of his levels would be from the spinoff titles that Silver appeared in like Sonic Rivals 1&2 or the DS version of Sonic Colors, 😁 #silverthehedgehog #sega #fanart
unlabelledView post →I actually wanted to include Splatoon 3 and Sonic Colors but I ran out of game slots 😂
unlabelledView post →really bad remaster of a really good game. emulate sonic colors on dolphin instead of playing this. not even re-rainbow fixes all the issues this thing has. when the remaster of a 4 gigabyte wii game is 27 gigs and stutters on a GTX 4060 you definitely messed up somewhere. i don't regret my purchase but there's not a snowball's chance in hell i'll recommend this to anybody. sonic colors itself is still a wonderful game, though.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Sonic Colors Ultimate was cracked and Denuvo has been broken. I do believe the last Sonic game that got cracked and had it's denuvo protection removed was Sonic Mania meaning it's almost been 8 years since the last time a Sonic Game has been cracked. #SonicTheHedgehog #Denuvo
unlabelledView post →Sonic Colors is one of the best 3D Sonics in my honest opinion. However, Blind Squirrel Games did not do a good job making the remaster. Luckily Fans have created several mods for this Game which I will link: Project Re-Rainbow (MUST HAVE): https://gamebanana.com/mods/535070 Other Essential Mods: https://gamebanana.com/blogs/19265 Using the Hedgemod Manager I had a blast 100% this game. Would recommend only when it goes on Sale! (Winter Sale going on at time of review) With mods I'd give…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'll be honest, I haven't even began to play the game yet so I have no idea what state this port is in as of 2026. I can say, however, that Denuvo can eat my entire ♥♥♥♥ for locking me out of the game for 24 hours because I installed it on both my Steam Deck and desktop within the same 30 minute period. Why SEGA still insist on shoving this crap in every single new release is beyond me, the only people it hurts are paying customers. UPDATE: Now that I've been granted the privilege of playing…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is the second time I gave a genuine review of a game, and I decided to try this game after not being able to play this game as kid on the Wii (cus I was broke and when I tried, I had to leave my cousin's house) and I was only met with genuine disappointment. First of all, the controls: I get it, the game released on the Wii, but even still, it's no excuse when not only you released SO MANY OF THE BOOST FORMULA GAMES, but on THOSE games you didn't ♥♥♥♥ up the controls there either. You…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game #19: Sonic Colors has been beat for Wii Wonders! As a whole I enjoyed this game, but there was definitely some flaws that frustrated me at times. I gave this a 7 out of 10 :D
unlabelledView post →Sonic Colors is a perfectly ok game and why Sonic fans decided that it's bad and "started the meta era" will never not confuse me, the game isn't even Meta, it just has a few joke lines. But what do I know from a community that decided 06 is worth redeeming

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →☑️ 🎮: Sonic Colors Ulitmate I decided I wanted to go fast today and had myself a little Sonic Sunday™️. I played this game for about 4 hours, didn’t finish it or bother with trying to get any of the collectibles, but still had fun! I went fast. 🙂↕️ I don’t think I’ll be coming back to finish it.
unlabelledView post →Sonic Colors definitely isn't the best Sonic game I've played, but it's absolutely my personal favorite and the one I've played through the most. I've probably beaten it a thousand times. It's just so satisfying to fully complete it as fast as I can in a sitting or two
unlabelledView post →i will ALWAYS love & defend Sonic Colors 🌈✨ the game just had its own vibe, and the level themes and aesthetics were AMAZING!! not to mention this released all the way back in 2010 and is the last time we got an animated intro to go with the main vocal theme in a Sonic game
unlabelledView post →i am always being lied to. they told me Sonic Colors DS was the better Colors game and the best Rush game when it turned out to be a pale imitation of Colors Wii while also being the worst Rush game. its not even "bad" its just like wow the internet really lied to me again huh.
unlabelledView post →I find it very interesting that Sonic Colors is never considered in the conversation for "best looking Sonic game". I think it generally surpasses Unleashed despite being on weaker hardware.
unlabelledView post →Sonic Colors (DS) Owned this for years but never gave it a proper playthrough. It's Sonic Rush minus Blaze (lame) but otherwise pretty solid! I enjoy the mission mode including extra Sonic pals who weren't in the Wii version. Kinda wish this wasn't stuck in DS limbo, the Rush 3d models are silly
unlabelledView post →between Sonic Frontiers Definitive Edition and Sonic Colors Ultimate SEGA sure does love false advertising by putting "Best Version of the Game" in the title of the worst version of the game
unlabelledView post →hi. Sonic Colors on the DS and Sonic Colors on the Wii are not the same game.
unlabelledView post →Sonic Colors is still to this day the only game I ever brought back to the store for a refund. Hated that game
unlabelledView post →Game was only 20 minutes long, onto Sonic Colors now!
unlabelledView post →Here's a nice place to start actually! I had a commission just this week to do a URL logo graphic for the Sonic Colors SRC pages in the style of the Sonic Colors logo. You can see it in its native environment at www.speedrun.com/sonic_colors... or www.speedrun.com/sonic_colors...
unlabelledView post →Kind of easy to forget given the (poor) remaster, but the original Wii version of Sonic Colors could honestly pass for an early 360 game in some places. Late Gen Wii in general had some pretty cool looking games.
unlabelledView post →SONIC COLORS FOR THE WII GAME OF THE YEAR FOR THE 15TH TIME LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
unlabelledView post →I drew this in favor of the 15th anniversary for “Sonic Colors”. I may be a little biased when I say this, because it was the first ever Sonic game that I played, but “Colors” is still a favorite of mine. (And yes, I actually don’t mind the game’s writing.)
unlabelledView post →Most of the terrible terrible bugs were patched out, but your lighting and heatwave looking ass cutscenes are still here to stay. UNLESS you mod the darn thing. "Project Re-Rainbow", makes the game look more faithful to the original wii version, and has an alternate download that remakes the cutscenes as well, and in 60 frames. The only "definitive" thing about SCU is that is plays on anything, but regarding colors itself: It's nearly nothing like unleashed nor generations, but owns its own…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Also Sonic fans (and some gamers in general) are rabid and would scrutinize the flaws of any new Sonic remake, or worse, we Sega pulling a Sega and turn out Sonic Colors Ultimate 2.0 again I'd take the lesser of two evils and just get a new game, please
unlabelledView post →I have a GPU 10 years newer than the recommended and the game stutters nonstop. It was a really fun game with ReRainbow but the game is borderline unplayable due to the awful optimization. Just play the Wii version
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Welcome to Dr. Eggman's incredible interstellar amusement part, where you'll reach for the stars with new color power to stop his evil plans once more! Wii game number 164 "Sonic Colors" is ready to be played right now as part of our launch line-up! retroachievements.org/game/7858
unlabelledView post →Even Sonic's 30th, it still had the uncertainty of how good Sonic Frontiers would be since it was the first main 3D Sonic since Forces. It didn't help that the most recent console release was Team Sonic Racing & the only game in 2021 was a messy Sonic Colors Ultimate launch...
unlabelledView post →I love Sonic Colors. For a time it was my favorite Sonic game and one of my favorite Wii games. Sonic Colors Ultimate is not a good remaster...
unlabelledView post →This Sonic Game was my childhood I used to play it on the Wii and DS I know the remaster has it's flaws but it's still fun to play and the soundtrack it just so nostalgia I could listen to it all day. I would recommend playing to experience it yourself but mostly wait till it's on sale.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is just what Sonic Colors sounded like to me back when the game first came out.
unlabelledView post →This Sonic game feels nice to play. However, the levels are way too short, as I felt that if they divided a single stage into multiple levels!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The 15th anniversary of Sonic Colors snuck up on me faster than I anticipated. But this was my first Sonic game, so I still wanted to draw something to celebrate 🎉 #sonicthehedgehog #soniccolors
unlabelledView post →I ended up getting the Re Rainbow mod to actually make this game more enjoyable, the standard port could of been a lot better, it felt lazy and not overly great i had previously played this on PS5 but wanted to get it for PC to add to my Sonic games Collection and to be able to use the mod which improves it as well as improving the cutscenes, if you do get this game i highly recommend using the Re Rainbow mod which definitely makes the game actually feel playable and more fun.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Introduce yourself with 4 video games! Super Paper Mario: My favorite video game. Sonic Colors: My favorite game in a series I'm hyperfixated on atm! Bejeweled Twist: A game from a more niche series that I absolutely love 💙 Boom Blox Bash Party: Possibly the single most underrated game ever IMO
unlabelledView post →I don't really know what to think about this game. The optimization is really bad : a ton of stuttering for no reason, cutscenes quality taking you back to 2010 and not that much graphic settings are available... But the gameplay itself is pretty solid even thought the game is really short (I finished the game in about 3 hours) The level design was pretty clever, there's a ton of paths available that take you on the finish line in most of the levels and I really liked that part of the game. I…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Was scrolling through my YouTube home feed and suddenly the website just decides to randomly recommend to me basically the entire soundtrack of Sonic Colors lmao Like, I'm flattered that you know that what my favorite game in the franchise is, but can I see smaller creators as well please? 🙏
unlabelledView post →Sonic Colors is so fascinating to me cuz I absolutely cannot stand the game but I absolutely adore the soundtrack.
unlabelledView post →Happy National Video Game Day! Tell me your top 3 fave games!!! 1. Street Fighter 6 2. Sonic Colors Ultimate 3. Tekken (specifically 2 and 8)
unlabelledView post →the cool aesthetics of Sonic Colors but with 80% more good gameplay? please by all means tell me more each Dimps game has a catch and this one's is the underwater mixes youtu.be/KzO91b_YkCg?...
unlabelledView post →1/10 I was already not a fan of Sonic Colours, the game's level design is really poor, the writing is really corny (not in the good kind like with the Sonic Boom TV show) and the boss fights are really bad. The original game's only saving grace was the soundtrack. Now let us take that and make it incredibly worse. This "remaster" is so buggy, even after the patch updates I had encountered so many visual and gameplay glitches in the levels and boss fights. The new music remixes basically…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I’m Actually A Huge Fan Of Sonic🦔💙✨ (Even When I Was Much Younger) (Sadly I Didn’t Officially Play Sonic Colors…☹️ So I Consider Sonic Colors As My Dream Game😅) By The Way😗, TRY THIS OUT!!!👇🏽⬇️‼️ my9games.net/en/edit
unlabelledView post →Classic, too much 2D tho. New ghost wisp is kinda useless and redundant. Just make sure to play with the Re-rainbow mod, makes the experience 10x better. This game shouldn't have been released they way it did on pc.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Another example of a Sonic game launched in an unfinished state just so fans can fix it themselves. Just like Sonic Origins, Sonic Superstars, and to a smaller extent, Sonic Frontiers. Thank GOD they stopped doing that ♥♥♥♥ with Shadow Generations and Sonic Racing CrossWorlds.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Sonic Colours is a great game. I think so at least. With that said please never buy this if you just want to experience Sonic Colours.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i aint recommending this ♥♥♥♥ if it's only redeemed by mods its a good game but dear god just learn how to use dolphin
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really like this game, yeah I heard bad things at launch of this remaster and as in-complete re-rainbow mod is. It gets the job done! I highly suggest picking this up with the mod, it's in a better condition than how it was at launch. Regardless, this game really brought the kid in me. I don't know if it's nostalgia but growing up, I always wanted to play this game but could never get access to it. Now, I can! I love the level designs, I love the atmosphere and especially the OSTs. "Speak…

unlabelledView post →Sonic Colors in an hour! Excited to see how this game is!
unlabelledView post →The game was Sonic Colors, unfortunately...
unlabelledView post →I've SEEN Sonic Colors Ultimate in action, but actually owning & opening the game is where it really hits for me that "oh wow this is straight up a Wii game retooled for modern systems."
unlabelledView post →Such a bad remake of a good game. The once charming colors and scenery is now ruined by bloom and horrible colors. The load times are longer than the Wii version. If you are not willing to mod this game then stay away from it
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →72. Sonic Colors (DS) It's Sonic Rush, but with Wisps. Even saying it like that sells this game short. This game is a really good companion to the Wii version. And probably the best game to use the Rush gameplay style
