Comparing Both Versions of Sonic Colors

[@Genesis-XE]

Originally, the Wii version of Colors was meant to have 2 acts like the DS version but to be around 3-4 minutes long like Unleashed levels

[@RandomAtom]

Never knew that before. That’s interesting.

[@bowserbreaker2515]

You're not the only person who would say the DS version is better, which I agree with. Also, the DS version is canon because of the Mother Wisp's cameo in TSR. The Blady Nosehair line from Wii is canon to, though.

[@RandomAtom]

Agree. Both versions have parts that are canon. I would say that when it comes to stuff in both versions (i.e., Tails getting temporarily mind-controlled), Wii's interpretation is canon while the stuff introduced in DS (such as Mother Wisp) is canon alongside it.

[@sonicwithglasses131]

@@RandomAtom i heard sonic friends being in colors is canon

[@CrownedHunter79]

both versions are supposed to complement each other, I don't understand why they say one is or isn't when they are the same game lmao, atom already said it up there so there I save myself to say that both are canonical.

[@SinisterElite3Gaming]

And also you can play the DS version on mobile with an emulator

[@LotsOfToubleUsuallySerious]

Colors on the Wii was my first Sonic game ever, and, despite its flaws, i have a massive nostalgia feeling for it, when i discovered a portable version for DS back then in 2018 (before the Switch version was even revealed), i went crazy, and the game surprised me, being the only game I've seen where the portable version is the canon version. The final stage with Super Sonic and all the modding opportunities (like adding different skins to Sonic's model) were something that blew my mind too. The Wii version is the one i love most, and the DS version is the best

I actually prefer Sonic Colors on the DS. They're multiple Pathways that aren't built around grabbing Red Rings, I love going faster by jumping in the loop and there's more for you to do in the DS Version. Sonic Colors on the Wii feels like a spectacle...the environments are great and make me wish for a hub world, I can go Super Sonic in 3D for 30 seconds before it goes into 2D sections again

[@Slimeonian]

As a big fan of the rush games, Colours on the DS really is the more fun game between the 2 versions. It’s basically like a 3rd Rush game

[@Luna-pk7gz]

more watered down rush

@@Luna-pk7gz Watered down? Colors has more going on than Rush.

[@jaretco6423]

​@Luna-pk7gz I disagree. Colors DS is better. It doesn't have many bottomless pit or other obnoxious level designs and bad bosses that Rush has nor it doesn't that stupid grindfest for materials & upgraded boats and long ass cutscenes that Rush Adventure suffers.

Colours DS is one of my most played games ever, I've had it for a huge chunk of my life at this point and always end up revisiting it at least twice a year, to contrast I always hesitate to revisit the Wii version because there's just so many iffy levels even if the majority is admittedly good. I still like Colours Wii, I just vastly prefer DS, great video!

[@leonardoalvarenga7572]

Sonic Runners and Team Sonic Racing both reference the DS version by featuring/mentioning Mother Wisp and the ending of the DS version, making it also canon.

[@RandomAtom]

Indeed.

[@jaretco6423]

Glad I'm not the only one who thinks the DS version is superior than the console counterparts. Even the Remastered HD version is inferior to the DS. Not only is Colors the best out of the Rush Trilogy, but I also think it's one of the best Sonic games period.

[@parttimelazy4593]

I grew up with the DS version and was always jealous that I couldn't play the other. Seems like I wasn't missing much. Random thought, Cube should have been an instant stomp that swaps the blocks instantaneously similar to something like Mighty Switch Force.

[@RandomAtom]

If Cube did work like that, that could have opened the door for more interesting ideas. For example, maybe a segment made entirely of blue rings and block could be over a pit so you have to quickly switch the rings and blocks in order to make it across before your power runs out.

I hope that Generations 3DS also starts getting some more attention because I feel it's a solid counterpart to the console versions!

[@anonymoususer188]

I haven't watched most of the video yet, but I want to say that I grew up with a DS and no Wii. The DS version of Sonic Colors was part of my childhood. To this day, I've never played the Wii version or Colors Ultimate, though I've watched KZbin playthroughs. I generally think that the DS version is better. I cringe at half the things that come out of Sonic's mouth in the Wii version, and the final boss on the DS version actually has more attack patterns than the Wii version. Five (one for each wisp in the DS version other than basic white wisps). That's how many attack patterns the DS version has. As far as I know, the Wii version only has attacks for Spikes, Cube, and Laser. Also, the DS version has a secret boss where you play as Super Sonic, and the Wii version just doesn't for some reason. I assumed that the Wii version was better before having seen it, but when I did watch it, I was just disappointed. EDIT: After having watched the whole video, I am now very happy. I agree with so many of the points brought up here.

[@f1reflam3]

The rush series have my favorite playstyle, guess which Colors version I like more

[@Oceane1803]

Sonic Colors DS is one of my first Sonic games and I loved it. Recently I've been hearing more about the Wii version (for obvious reasons), and I was mindblown to learn that it didn't have the Nega Mother Wisp nor the normal Mother Wisp. I mean, she's the mother of all Wisps, I feel like that's a pretty important plot point ! And now I learn it doesn't have the Red and Violet Wisp ?? First of all, the Red Wisp is the first transformation you get in DS, so the fact that in Wii it's not even there is yet another mindblown for me. And yeah okay I figured that Purple Wisps are also a kind of Nega-Wisp, but as someone who played the DS version, the main appearance of Nega Wisps is the violet one, so it feels weird that it's not there. But I understand that it's not such a big deal since the purple one serves the same role. And I personally loved the gallery, it was super interesting to me, especially since yeah I didn't have access to Internet. As a kid, I remember using the Wisps artworks as a base for drawing Wisp "OCs" that were basically just the Wisps in DS with Yacker's curly hair. Yeah it wasn't very creative but I had fun. I didn't know much about Sonic's friends back in the day, but now that I do, I feel like going back and do the missions in order to see all the fun interactions ^^

[@socheata643]

I Love Every Game, and I also played the DS Emulation when I was 12, and then now I still love the entire game! And rise of the wisps and Colors Ultimate was a bit buggy, but it has a subtitles disable, where you don’t see the texts and all of that. Also I love the Japanese dub in Colors!

[@RobotGlovesArt]

I feel the opposite in terms of content in DS and Wii. While the Wii stages can be pretty short, they still give you the Red Rings as an incentive to explore the stages and find different paths. Not only that but some of the Red Rings are like mini challenges, like the one that can be accessed by Rocket but only if you can dodge some spikes on your way down. It's why Blue Wisp isn't a waste. It's slow paced turning on and off cubes on a normal run which is why I avoid them in some stages unless I can just activate it once. But Red Rings that are on top of blue cubes make platforming on the cubes more faster paced than the normal route, because of how timed they are. In the DS you find the red rings by hitting a jump or not dropping off a route to get them instead of finding them within a fork in the level design where you have to decide whether you want to explore a path with a mini challenge to get the red ring or the faster path. And also the DS Red Rings feel like an additional collectible that you probably won't think about again after finding it, while the Wii Red Rings are essential to the gameplay in how the player engage with the level design where exploring and not taking the fast path isn't just slowing down and finding the collectible but taking a path that's slightly slower but still asks you to be engaged in order to get the collectible. That and Wii Red Rings affect your score. With the Red Rings it feels like there is a consistent additional layer to the Wii stages, and it's why the shorter sub acts felt as engaging as the main acts, giving you the option to do engage with more than one type of platforming (exploration vs reaching the goal), whereas the challenges in the DS just give you one goal and doesn't give the player the freedom to choose the type of gameplay to engage in since it's a mission that requires you to platforming under one rule.

[@RandomAtom]

That’s a pretty interesting take on Wii’s levels. You could say looking for the Red Rings calls back to how exploration was rewarded with rings/power ups in the Genesis titles.

DS has the better exclusive wisps, better more fleshed out story, an actual Super Sonic boss fight which is canon btw, and the better level design and boss fights.

[@generate_10]

DS = You love platforming and tricky stunts Wii = You love the boost effect, the speediness and you just love 3d graphics in general. Ultimate = No one loves you.

[@freakishtech2310]

One thing to mention while the HD release sonic colors ultimate is generally the same as the wii version. It Does add some new content. Like the new Ghost wisp which allows you to phase through certain walls. Also Sonic's shoes, gloves, and trail are customizable after collecting and purchasing with tokens that are found throughout each level.

[@RandomAtom]

I forgot the Jade Wisp existed lol

[@frostgamer9820]

As a kid I did only have access to one version, my parents wouldn't let me buy the game on both Wii and DS. So I got the DS version as it was the system I played more and was the version my friend had. And having since gone back and played the Wii version I definitely feel I made the right choice, the DS version just has much better pacing and less of a focus on the short single gimmick levels of the Wii version that honestly feel like thwy belong in a Mario game than a Sonic one (this is not a dig at Mario).

[@RandomAtom]

Funny that you mention Mario because it was mentioned in an interview that the target audience included those who played Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games. I’ll link it when I find it. Edit: Here it is: spong.com/feature/10110209/Interview-Sonic-Colours-Producer-Takashi-Iizuka/2 “...I wanted to capitalise on the new audience that we gained through the success of the Mario & Sonic games. Those titles in particular really worked well for Sonic as a character because it made our potential audience much broader than existing Sonic fans.” - Takashi Iizuka

[@SaddieMoon]

11:23 Well, both can be canon. Just the DS exclusive events just happens off screen in the Wii version.

[@RandomAtom]

True. I was mostly joking in that segment, but I was mainly taking about what dialogue in the main story was canon although that is inconsequential as the story is still the same.

[@shadowstrike64]

I'm so glad I made childhood memories out of the DS version. I also think it's better than the Wii version. The Wii version is good but it lacks in its story. It doesn't get the characters right and the dialogue and the humor are just not good. The levels feel pretty divisive because there are levels that take a few minutes to finish while others take like 30 seconds. I still think it's pretty solid in terms of gameplay. As for the DS version, the dialogue isn't cringey like in the Wii version, I like how Sonic's friends make appearances, and the Nega Mother Wisp is cool. The levels are more fun on the DS version and they don't feel divisive. Sure there are missions that are short but it makes sense because they're optional side missions that you can do if you want. It doesn't make the levels feel divisive. DS version is pretty great.

[@MagiCarson08]

Both are great. The Wii version was my first and is still my favorite Sonic game ever. I got the DS version because I liked the Wii one so much. They are both great, and I’m still disappointed they didn’t add the DS soundtrack as an option in colors ultimate.

I’ve never played the DS version. My only consoles are the Switch and the Wii, so I have both the Wii and Ultimate version. I’ve always been curious about the DS version, however. I’ve seen images of the DS version’s cover on many Sonic videos but I’ve never really seen much criticism of the DS version. I’m glad I saw this because you really made me understand what I think is all I need to understand about the game as someone who hasn’t played it but wants information about it. Anyways, I really agree with a lot of the points made for the Wii version in your review! My personal opinion on this, I really like Sonic Colors! Yeah, the levels are really short and there should just be three acts that are like 2-3 minutes but I still manage to get much fun out of most of them. Sure, the bosses are definitely repetitive and this isn’t a 3D game (also I have no opinion on the wisps but they definitely overstay their welcome in later games) but it’s a pretty decent Sonic game for me. I’m definitely interested in playing Sonic Colors DS now, so this video definitely benefited me. - Your 99th subscriber

Wonderful Video! I prefer the DS Version but you need a DS of some sort to play it properly. If you're playing on a PC then unless you have two monitors on top of another or are okay with a large amount of empty space everywhere when playing on a Emulator. And the 1 screen hack would hinder the game since you can't see what's above or below you. so you can't see stuff like Spikes or Enemies. I was thinking about learning how to code so I can make a port for PC where you could see everything.

I can see playing on original hardware being preferable because if you use an emulator, you’ll likely have to put the controller down to use a mouse for the special stages & that can hurt the experience.

Anyways, when I finally reached Colors, it felt so disgusting and weird to play. The controls were so terrible, and the Acts were just the worst to get through. I thought I could hold it out. It was short, and Generations was just right there. I could not. I never try to skip games. But I could just not get through that slog. It was horrible. Meanwhile, I managed to beat every act in the DS one, manage to get almost every Red Star and also the Chaos Emeralds for the Secret Boss.

Still have the Wii version though but ngl, there were some ways the DS version was better than the Wii, just like this comparison of Sonic Colors. I swear I could beat my mom’s time on speed skating if the motion controls didn’t screw me over, hopefully i’ll get another someday. I even first played Call of Duty on the DS, despite what everyone says it’s really not that bad, and usually they’re not even playing it as intended, they play on a PC Emulator.

Are you going to compare the xbox360 version Sonic generation to 3ds version

[@ivonnesaysmiau]

Only thing wii has over ds is playable super sonic in normal stages

[@darkbegin]

It's like Mario and Sonic at the Winter Olympic games 2010, the DS version is much better.. (Adventure mode)

[@MekaylaTheChimera]

I prefer the Wii version of Sonic Colors since I don't have the DS version. The cutscenes look bland, and I'm not interested in the side missions, or the additional characters involved. The Red and Violet Wisps are still cute, tho! 😇

I preferred sonic colors ds and ultimate

DS SUPREMACY 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@phorchybug3286]

Both of them got cute cut scenes. The Wii one just has more bleak forgettable level design.

Ok I'ma say it The boss music on the Wii SUCK compared to the DS version, the DS version focuses way more on percussion and melody then wiis focus on synth

[@RandomAtom]

Do you have any thoughts about the Ultimate versions of these songs?

[@Inky5]

@@RandomAtom I feel like the ultimate arnt the best remixes, they do incorporate some ideas from the DS but the main melody is pushed back further for extra instruments and way more synth

Moots?

Honestly the DS version is better than ultimate

[@Luna-pk7gz]

DS colours is literally just watered down Rush. that's all it is. definition of mid imo and not like story really matters in sonic imo.

[@RandomAtom]

Between both Rush games, which do you prefer? Also what did you think of the Wii Colors?
