Nintendo Sonic Colours Nintendo Wii

Sonic Colors is a platform game set in outer space. Players control Sonic the Hedgehog, whose goal is to save the Wisps, an alien race that has been enslaved by Doctor Eggman.[2] The game's main hub is Doctor Eggman's Incredible Interstellar Amusement Park, an interplanetary amusement park that consists of five small planets chained to each other.[3] Sonic must be guided through these planets to destroy the power source at their center.[4]

Each planet is split into seven parts: six main levels called acts and a boss level.[3] In each act, players must guide Sonic to the goal, whilst defeating enemies and dodging obstacles. In boss levels, players face one of Eggman's large robots, and must defeat it. Gameplay seamlessly shifts between side-scrolling and third-person perspectives.[3][5] Upon completion of a level, players are given a grade dependent on their performance, with an "S" being the best and a "D" being the worst.[6] As the player progresses through the game, more planets become available to select. Once each planet has been completed, a bonus seventh, which concludes the story, is unlocked.[7]

Players control Sonic using the Wii Remote (with or without the Nunchuk),[2] the Classic Controller, or the GameCube controller. Sonic retains most of his abilities from Sonic Unleashed:[8] he can perform a "Sonic Boost" which greatly increases his speed and allows him to smash through various objects;[9
