Sonic Colours (also known as Sonic Colors in the USA) is a future Sonic title for the Nintendo Wii and DS, in which Sonic has to save an alien race which is being kept captive at an intergalactic amusement park run by Eggman.

Story
Eggman claims to have developed a sense of remorse after his lack of judgment in the past and decides to build his next massive amusement park, Egg Planet Park, in space, using the power of small alien creatures known as Wisps to power the interplanetary monstrosity. While Sonic instantly suspects Eggman's evil intentions, Tails believes he has genuinely had a change of heart. Upon inviting Sonic and co. to see his latest creation, Eggman kidnaps Tails and brainwashes him as well. Eggman's mechanical assistant, Orbot makes a return, who is now joined by his cubical brother, Cubot. With the help of Yacker, Sonic must free each planet from Eggman's control and rescue his friends before it is too late.
Wisps
The press release states that the alien creatures give Sonic unique abilities to help him traverse new areas. The Wii version gameplay is like Sonic Unleashed's Daytime stages, while the DS gameplay is like Sonic Rush and Sonic Rush Adventure. The game's signature nuance is the appearance of Wisps; small, color-coded, floating alien creatures that 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. According to information so far, there are at least seven or eight Wisps available in the game. The Wisps that are confirmed are:
- Blue Wisps, turn Sonic into a heavy block that crushes anything under it. It also creates platforms by turning blue rings into walkable platforms, and vice virsa.
- Green Wisps, turn Sonic into a balloon-like green orb that allows him to hover and perform the Ring Dash. (Wii only)
- Pink Wisps, give Sonic long, pointy spikes that allow him to stick to walls. (Wii only)
- Orange Wisps, turn Sonic into a rocket that can blast into the air to reach higher areas.
- Red Wisps, turn Sonic into a fireball, similar to the Fire Shield of Sonic the Hedgehog 3. (DS only)
- Yellow Wisps, turn Sonic into a drill that can dig through certain surfaces, allowing access to other paths.
- Cyan Wisps, turn Sonic into a laser, which allows him to ricochet between walls.
- White Wisps, give Sonic the Sonic Boost, allowing for fast speed bursts which can damage enemies.
If you look carefully in the announcement trailer, you'll see other Wisps SEGA hadn't revealed yet. For example, there's a blue and violet wisp. Can be seen in 00:17 of the video. They are also revealed on the games boxart.

Marketing
As a gift for pre-ordering the game, GameStop will also include a special hat shaped like Sonic's head. In addition, a "Special Edition" of the game is being released in the UK and Australia, which comes with a Sonic figurine as well as three wisp figurines (white, cyan and orange in the Wii version and yellow, red and blue in the DS version).
Voice Actors
This game is notable for being the 1st Sonic game to take place after the major cast change in 2005. All of the 4Kids actors (besides Mike Pollock) have been replaced with a new cast from this game forward.
