Sonic Colors
About the Game
Eggman wants to change his ways, opening a massive new theme park floating rather curiously above the planet. Sonic, wary of his nemesis, visits the theme park and discovers the true evil story: the park exists thanks to an alien race known as the Wisps, powerful creatures whom Dr. Sonic agrees to free them from the amusement park, but he won't be able to do that without the Wisps' help. In a return to the classic platformer Sonics of old, Sonic Colors uses the full width of both Nintendo DS screens to present a 2D side-scrolling adventure of colourful proportions.
Story & Setting
Sonic has the help of the Wisps' unique abilities, such as drilling deep underground or rocketing high into the air, to aid him in his quest to retrieve the Chaos Emeralds and stop Dr.
Gameplay & Core Systems
A multiplayer mode is included, allowing two players to compete across multiple levels to reach the end goal first, along with a time attack mode.
