Sonic Colors/YMMV: Difference between revisions

----

** [[Sincerity Mode|Can't help noticing that the gameplay is an awful lot like the daytime portion of Sonic Unleashed. Also can't help noticing that a full Sonic game consisting of that stellar gameplay with no werehog to bog things down is specifically word-for-word what many, many people wanted to see, so, uh, thanks for listening, Sega. You're a pal.]]

** The return of old-school Badniks.

** {{spoiler|Eggman's the final boss for the first time in a 3D Sonic game.}}

** The soundtrack has been released on iTunes!

* [[Best Boss Ever]]: {{spoiler|The Nega-Wisp Armor, if a bit easy (once you know what you're doing, that is). Also counts as a Best Boss Beating Ever.}}

* [[Boss Dissonance]]: Mario-type for the Wii version; the DS version has a few [[That One Boss|rough bosses]] (looking at you, Planet Wisp!)

* [[Broken Base]]: While considered to be wholesale better than ''[[Sonic Unleashed]]'', fans are somewhat broken on whether ''Unleashed'''s daytime levels or ''Colors''' levels are better.

* [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]]: Sonic's sprint back down the Hyper-Accelarating Space Elevator.

* [[Ear Worm]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEzvc4OTkIo Sweet Mountain Zone] seems to have this type of music.

** ''[[Crowning Music of Awesome|I'm gonna reach for the staaaaars!]]''

** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9clKkMuAQH8&feature=related Planet Wisp Act 1]. That piano line...

** Perhaps not ''everything'', but guaranteed over 50% of the soundtrack will. You'll even debate with yourself over certain remixed themes for non-Act 1 levels are better than the original.

** Then there's [http://www.gametrailers.com/video/review-sonic-colors/706920 Gametrailers'] 6.4 score for the Wii version.

** Destructoid's Jim Sterling gave the Wii version a ''4.5'' out of 10. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7RxqnYjP7E Sega of America didn't let them get away with it.]

** A lot of people might think that the disclaimer "Now with FISH!" referring to a ''sushi'' restaurant was a joke about Eggman's terrible restaurant planning. But "sushi" actually refers to a type of ''vinegared rice'', which is SOMETIMES served with raw fish ''among other ingredients''. So a sushi restaurant without fish actually makes perfect sense.

* [[Game Breaker]]: {{spoiler|Super Sonic. He makes the powerups useless, since he can basically do everything they can (and when he can't, the levels actually change to help him out). It may seem like a [[Bragging Rights Reward]] once you realize that you have to collect all the Red Rings in all the levels, but it makes getting [[Hundred-Percent Completion]] by getting S Rank on all the levels easy, since it even gives you a bonus every few seconds just for being Super Sonic. But unless you actively try to get points, you'll end up with A Rank.}}

* [[Growing the Beard]]: All agree that this game is good.

* [[It's Short, So It Sucks]]: Well, not that it ''sucks'', but [[Nintendo Power]] gave the DS version a lower score simply because it's over too fast. They did say that it was great while it lasted, though.

* [[It's Easy, So It Sucks]]: The most common criticism for critics, as well as some fans, is that the game, especially the bosses, is too easy. Though some like it as being easier.

** '''GOOD! GREAT! AWESOME! OUTSTANDING! AMAZING!'''

*** It's kind of disappointing in a weird way doing the QTEs as {{spoiler|Super Sonic}}, because they skip right to Amazing.

** The sound of the goal ring in the more platformy acts, indicating you're nearly at the end of the level.

* [[Narm Charm]]: The cutscenes are pretty Saturday-morning cheesy, but that may be exactly why so many players find them entertaining.

** [[Ear Worm|The sky with stars so briiiight, the colors feel so riiiight...]]

* [[Nightmare Fuel]]: The [http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20101022185342/sonic/images/thumb/8/83/Sonic-Colours-Wii-Asteroid-Coaster-Screenshot-23.jpg/800px-Sonic-Colours-Wii-Asteroid-Coaster-Screenshot-23.jpg Purple] and [http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100916161207/sonic/images/thumb/c/cb/Violet-Wisp.png/90px-Violet-Wisp.png Violet] Wisps. Yes, that ''is'' Sonic.

** The levels with the yellow moving springs can also give grief, as you have to both keep up with the spring and not overpace it, as well as having to stomp on it to gain more height, which is very finicky and sometimes likes to not bounce you high enough to reach platforms. Best not let it tempt you to your death with its hard to reach rings.

* [[That One Sidequest]]: The DS version brings us Mission 2 in Sweet Mountain. Now, normally, rescuing the 25 Wisps isn't so hard if all you're trying to do is simply pass it or collect the mission's red rings; however, it becomes a total nightmare when trying to S rank the mission, mostly due to the fact that when you get to the robot that tosses you up into the air and you have to float down while trying to dodge bomb balloons and land on the hot dog it's holding and then go into its mouth, the problem is that you move at a very sluggish pace when floating down and have no way to land on the hot dog and into the robot's mouth faster, so that section of the mission winds up wasting a lot of your time, and since it's a rescue the Wisps mission, that means there are no extra time capsules to pick up to give you extra time on the mission's countdown timer. By the time you're past the giant robot with the hot dog part, you probably won't have enough time left to earn an S rank for the mission.

* [[Totally Radical]]: Mostly averted: The vast majority of Sonic's slang is either unique to him or comparatively current, such as his use of "epic" in one of the first lines of the game.

* [[Villain Decay]]: Averted. Eggman ''is'' the [[Big Bad]] {{spoiler|and [[Final Boss]]}} of this game. He is not displaced by a [[Bigger Bad]] or [[Giant Space Flea From Nowhere]] unlike the previous games. Also, he plans to mind-control all of Earth.

** And yet he has completely stopped taking himself seriously. [[Rule of Funny|And it is amazing.]]

** Lampshaded by Tails when Sonic first uses the Wisps' powers.
