Sonic Colors Ultimate Cheats and Tips

Keep an eye out for the icon that looks like a question mark with some colorful dots around it if you are not familiar with the original Sonic Colors. If you go to this icon, you will activate tips from Tails on how to defeat the bosses and complete the stages. These question mark icons are not always easy to see when you are moving so fast as Sonic and they tend to blend in with the background, so you will need to pay attention in order to find them.

To begin with, the bosses you encounter in Sonic Colors Ultimate will be pretty straight forward to defeat. Once you start reaching the later stages of the game, they will throw attacks at you that will make them considerably more tricky. It will then be crucial to focus on the obstacles that are there and use the Wisp powers when they are available by jumping on the cages when you see them. Take a look at the video below to see how you defeat each of the bosses in Sonic Colors Ultimate.

Wisps are creatures in Sonic Colors Ultimate that befriend Sonic and give him powers that will aid you in the game. New to the remaster is a Wisp power called the Jade Ghost, which enables Sonic to literally pass through walls of certain places to reach secret areas. Once you obtain this Wisp, you will be able to target enemies through solid objects and at a further distance and use the lock-on feature to defeat more than one at a time.

Sonic Colors Ultimate has a similar feature to the 2017 game Sonic Forces in that you can customize Sonic. There is a large variety of things you can change the color or pattern of. You will be able to purchase these items using the gold coins that are collected by playing the game's various stages. Check out the video below to see a showcase video of all the customizations that are available for Sonic in the game.

Take a look at the video below to see each of the Wisps in Sonic Colors Ultimate in action.

When you begin playing Sonic Colors Ultimate, it will become apparent that there are some areas in the early stages that you will not be able to access. It won't be until later in the game, and you have obtained the various Wisps, that you will be able to return and unlock those parts using their powers. This is something you will need to do as these locked areas will have the hidden items, most of which are red rings that are required to unlock Rival Rush mode.

During a run in Sonic Colors Ultimate you need to try and pick up every ring you see. Keep a particular eye out for the red star rings, as these are the key to accessing some new features in the remaster. Also keep in mind that the red rings become harder to obtain as the stages become bigger, so it is crucial that you keep an eye out for indicators that will lead you to them. You can see how many red rings are available to collect in a stage by looking at the small screen on the bottom right where whenever you pick up one of the red rings during gameplay they will turn red. One of the features that is unlocked when you pick up a red ring is Rival Rush where Sonic races against Metal Sonic for unlockable rewards.
