Sonic with Wisps in promotional artwork for Sonic Colours.

Wisps are extraterrestrial creatures introduced in Sonic Colours. Dr. Eggman captures the Wisps to power his interstellar theme park, and Sonic is tasked with rescuing the diminutive aliens from the mad scientist's clutches. There are at least eight Wisps available in the Wii version and five Wisps available in the DS Version of the game. As the player progresses, more Wisps are unlocked, which will then appear in both later and earlier stages.

Color Power

The small, color-coded, floating alien creatures each contain a different Color Power 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. However, the boost is fueled by the Wisps, and NOT rings. The boost can be used along side the Color Powers, thus collecting White Wisps won't alter or change the Color Power currently saved.

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

• Yellow Wisps give Sonic the Drill Color Power, which enables the player to dig through certain surfaces that contain hidden underground rooms, paths, and pipes that can only be entered with proper precision.

• Orange Wisps give Sonic the Rocket Color Power, which will send him flying directly upward. This ability also allows Sonic to reach higher areas of the stage.

• Pink Wisps give Sonic the Spike Color Power, which gives him longer, pointier spikes that allow him to stick to walls as well as use the Spindash. (Wii only)

• Green Wisps give Sonic the Hover Color Power, which turns him into a slow-moving hovercraft, allowing him to fly through the air and find hidden areas normally unaccessible. This ability also allows him to use the Ring Dash. (Wii only)

• Blue Wisps give Sonic the Cube Color Power, which turns him into a heavy block till he hits the ground. It also creates platforms by transforming blue rings into walkable platforms, and vice versa. (Wii only)

• Purple Wisps give Sonic the Frenzy Color Power, which turns Sonic into a berserker chomping anything in his path. He gets bigger the more he eats! (Wii only)

• Red Wisps give Sonic the Burst Color Power, and 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)

• Violet Wisps give Sonic the Void Color Power, which turns Sonic into a ghost form that can float through walls and suck up rings and enemies. (DS only)
