Color Power

The small, color-coded, floating alien creatures each contain a different ability that Sonic can harness by collecting them. When a Wisp is collected, the gauge on the bottom-left corner of the screen will display which Wisp is currently active. Upon activating a Wisp's color power, the gauge will begin to deplete until the current power is entirely used up.

White Wisps give Sonic the Sonic Boost, which was first introduced in Sonic Unleashed. Much like in the previous game, the Sonic Boost will give Sonic and instant (but limited) burst of speed and will automatically attract any nearby rings.

Cyan Wisps give Sonic the Cyan Laser ability, which allows Sonic to ricochet off of walls and teleport using the corresponding antennas that appear in the stage.

Yellow Wisps give Sonic the Yellow Drill ability, which turns him into a drill that can dig through certain surfaces to find hidden underground rooms, paths, and pipes, which can only be entered with proper precision.

Red Wisps turn Sonic into a fireball, similar to the Fire Shield of Sonic the Hedgehog 3. However, unlike the fire shield, the Red Wisp can be used move in any direction when in mid-air. (DS only)

Orange Wisps give Sonic the Orange Rocket ability, which will turn him into a rocket, sending him flying directly upward. This ability also allows Sonic to reach higher areas of a stage.
