Boss: Admiral Jelly (DS)

Aquarium Park is the fifth stage of Sonic Colours for the Nintendo DS. As the name implies, it is a massive water park, which sports a dual oriental theme. One of the component attraction-worlds of Eggman's Amazing Interstellar Amusement Park, the area hosts Crabmeats and samurai-themed Egg Pawns, along with several Orbinauts that usually indicate extra routes that laser wisps can be used for. Much undersea adventuring sees Sonic hunting for those same bubbles he's been pursuing since Labyrinth Zone.

In addition to the standard submarine fare, Aquarium Park also features a host of new gimmicks. Giant bouncy jellyfish break up Sonic's stride as he aquaplanes across the water's surface; coral walls stand in the way, impervious to everything but the Burst Dash; and pinwheeling shoals of fish carry the hedgehog along and throw him surface-wards. The yellow Wisp allows Sonic so drill-swim through the water, while the cyan Wisp sends him refracting all over the place as a laser beam.

Aquarium Park is an underwater playground surrounded by blue seas. With many different hidden/secret path areas, there is always something new to find. In fact, every experience here will almost feel like a different one every time!

Story

Aquarium Park, along with Planet Wisp , can be accessed at any point after Sonic has cleared the third level; as such, it can come fourth, or fifth in the storyline. On arrival, Yacker introduces Sonic and Tails to the cyan wisp; Sonic takes an instant liking to it, as "he's almost as fast as I am!".

Further exploration of the Mission areas leads Sonic and Tails to Big the Cat, who's up in the park searching for Froggy. Amy Rose has also found her way into orbit somehow, although after coercing Sonic through a mission, she gets dizzy from the excitement of seeing him again, giving the blue blur chance to slip away and leave Tails to deal with her. After completing the third mission, Amy demands that they celebrate with a romantic packed lunch in the aquarium, although Big is much more receptive to the prospect than Sonic. Tails is the only one to point out that the middle of Eggman's orbital fortress is not an opportune place for fine dining.
