Is This Game STILL Unplayable? | Sonic Colors: Ultimate 

I went through this entire video without looking at your subscriber count. When I saw that you had 539 subs I was shocked. This felt like a 100k subs channel vid. You just got a new subscriber!

Some notes: 1. It's been recommended that I try playing the DS version of Sonic Colors - it sounds like that version has a lot of unique stuff so I think I'm going to try it out! 2. I realize now that the endless level "glitch" I described at 2:45 is actually just weird level design, I didn't realize at first that you're supposed to step on a bunch of switches to spawn the goal ring. 3. If you're not already subscribed, why not just do that now? It's free! Let's hit 1,000!

All of the "glitches" you mentioned were present in the original. You simply missed the ground switch for seven minutes straight in act 4 and found it on your second playthrough. Happened to me too when I first played that level. The pop in you mentioned in the asteroid level isn't actually pop in. That transition always required fast reflexes.

Hey GameGuy, gotta say. This was the best run through I've ever heard for Sonic Colors Ultimate. Solid content and godly editing to top it off. Sonic Colors is my all time favorite Sonic game, and when the remaster was announced, I teared up completely. The original is superior, as many people agree. Nonetheless, you made my day with this video. Everything you said about the impact Sonic Colors had on the series slapped a universally huge smile on my face.

Thanks for this approach. Not a huge sonic fan and never played the original but saw this on sale for $5 or so and didn’t want to hear about the old version, just wanted someone’s view as a new player to series and this game. Nailed it! Thanks

Honestly this is the kind of review for this game I think is the most fair because a remaster is supposed to bring in people who’ve never played the original. So honestly thank you for taking the time and reviewing this game especially on the switch. Also a lot of what you wished was in this game, like the added cast and super sonic secret boss battle is ALL in the DS version so maybe check that out when u get the time

Great video, I subscribed!

I was really annoyed that I was tracked by the glitches , so I'm here for finding some video and when I saw you said "the bigger question is did I actually have a good time" and I said oh,,yeah, I have. so why am I keeping angry (lol thanks for this video,you've got a new subscriber

Jesus Christ, a great comment, review, edition and a fairly great video and you don't have more than 10k?????? HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE????

Dam it feels weird having a newer video on sonic colors where someone seems more positive on the colors’ story 😂

Nice review thank you

Great video :)

This is such a good quality video, how do you not have more subs????

Love your style man! You got my sub! Hope you make more sonic content!

Thanks dawg I wanted to see if I should get the game thanks for the video earned a new subscriber

Just stumbled upon this video, great content man, thanks for suffering through the game for us!

For the refreshinator and the other boss, they are actually just that short. Other characters also appear in the DS version, but I’m not sure about the specific ones. Also, the ghost wisp wasn’t in the original game, which is likely why you felt it was under utilized and slightly less polished

Good Evening Game Guy Fifty Three, I appreciate your review of Sonic Colors Ultimate. Love, Columbo

I played the Switch version recently to prep for Sonic Frontiers. I had more fun than I thought I would. Especially with the Rival Rush races against Metal Sonic (the only time I ever cared to collect red rings in these games.) But if you want that final boss fight (and cameos from other Sonic characters), than you gotta play the Nintendo DS version.

Only 779 Subs with THIS level of production quality?! Man. Makes me wish I was a super popular RU-vidr. I’d boost the heck out of this channel. I loved this video! Keep up the great work!

@youtube push this man to the top of the algorithm! He needs to be seen! This man’s videos are S Tier.

3:07 i know it’s been a year (or so) but, this actually wasn’t a glitch. In order to spawn the goal ring, you need to hit a switch on the far right side. You can see it pass around a few times in the footage

Oh yeah that planetary ring act of Asteroid Coaster is weird, fighting the enemies isn't what spawns the goal ring, it's actually one of those round blue ground switches. You can see the one you've gotta hit come into view in the lane all the way to the right in your footage right around 3:11. I was just as confused playing the Wii version when I cleared it the first time with no issue but then tried it again and couldn't get the goal ring to spawn. Also the lasers from those purple chaser robots can't reach you if you're boosting non-stop, that was in the original too. Just a way to reward optimal play if you've been careful with your boost and keep collecting white wisp capsules.

Wowowow this is almost a Scott the Woz quality video on this small of a channel? Color me Subscribed

Bought this game for like 20 bux black friday! :D excited to play it.

Subscribed. First time viewer. Love what I see. Thanks for the vid. ❤

2:45 That's not a glitch. This level actually lasts forever until you step on a switch.

Great video

YOU ONLY HAVE 1K SUBS!!! You deserve 1mil you got my sub

RIP the original sonic colors... And RIP the outside of your apartment

Honestly it would’ve been nice if they made the corrupted Mother Wisp the true final boss like in the DS version seems like a nice climatic end to the game with super sonic

If only he knew the DS version had a secret boss fight while being Super Sonic

1:20 Tons of patches? They made like 2 or 3 patches in his first months an after that we got nothing.

I always thought that it was weird how the DS version had a secret Final boss and the Wii and Ultimate versions didn't.

Its good to know that the switch version is playable, maybe I pick it up but for now im sticking with the wii version

I like the video, what setup do you have to make reviews?

I played Sonic Colors Ultimate when it launched on PS4 and the only bug or glitch I ever experienced was wisp music would randomly stop playing sometimes. But I only experienced this when I went back for red rings. Have a 100% save with all red rings, all chaos emeralds, and all rival races completed. Granted, the game got a patch before I went back for the extra stuff but i still went through most of the main story before a patch was released and no glitches. Anyone who called this game glitchy for the PS4 version at least is either lying, was searching for glitches, or somehow have way worse luck than me.

So interesting thing: someone by the name of BluWolfBlitz is making a mod for colors ultimate called "Project Re-rainbow" which aims to fix Sonic colors ultimate

I think most reviewers compared it to the original and walked into this with the mindset of "if this isnt how i remember it then its trash" and the glitches didn't help. But as someone who never played the original this was is pretty dope. (Switch version)

idk i just tried the first few acts. i can get behind the slow loading time but he controls pretty bad... do you happen if he controls better on ps5?

Always a pleasure to work with you GameGuy53, you’re my hero!

Funny i was just looking if the game is any good i have a Switch and it now for 30 bugs so i was Thinking about it to buy it for my switch and i am a bit unsure about the many glitches maybe im still thinking about it to get it a i Subscribed i love the videos it hase good humor in it you gave me a good laugh thanks for that 😅

The one thing the team could have easily fixes is making the dpad also move sonic. It's such a simple no brainer. But man this team was rushed to no end

the ultimate version added some path what really send some level better (or less boring ) like sweet montain act 4 where we can skip all the elevator , thanks to this small changes i can't go back on the wii version :')

I grew up with sonic colours on the nintendo Damn was i hyped when i saw the wii Gameplay, especially that there were so many more wisps to fuse with But im really suprised that the DS version acutally does have a supersonic bossfight Its called the mother wisp if o remember right By suprised i wanted to say that im wondering why this fight only apperas in the DS version My conclusion would be as a equalizer for not being able to play supersonic on any other stage I guess But damn that final Bossfight is really cool im kinda sad it dosent appear on the wii version etc. The higher quality would make it even better Edit: I had a phase where i (while not knowing what speedrunning is). Speedrunned the game lom I used my alarm clock measure the time. Now looking back i wonder how far i could have improved my times if only i didnt get caught playing in the night xD Man now im hyped for this game again

Honestly playing the original Sonic Colors just highlights how much better it is compared to Ultimate, I feel like the only reason to ever want to play ultimate would be to play The console sonic colors on the go. Otherwise just stick with the Wii version

Just picked up Sonic Colors ultimate for Xbox. Question is it the back trigger to boost?

I always have trouble on the terminal parts and it's annoying

if I have the wii version, would getting this game still be viable?

I have it and it’s definitely playable and the new additions are fun and I encounter no game breaking glitches

6:25 I facepalmed so hard I now have a permanent hand inprint on my face

Not on Steam unfortunately yet and Unleashed isn't too but Sonic Generations, Sonic Lost World, Sonic Forces and Sonic Frontiers is for some reason.

Do the game developers ever tested Some Colors Ultimate before releasing on stores?

Good argument about the color Sonic! You should become a lawyer!

Wasn’t the “glitchiest version” played on an emulator, and that that’s why it was so messed up?

I beat it the day I got it and I liked it I got no glitches but only one but I used laser wisp to get back in bounds

the thumbnail gave me scott the woz vibes (compliment)

Colors Ultimate was never unplayable to begin with

Nice

*throws wii version out the window* Me: YOU BITC-

Anyone knows Xbox series x version fix issue now?

RU-vid algorithm? Big Brother is watching me (after class)? Gotta go fast? Subbed? Less than 1,000 subs? "What a lark." 🤓*puts on glasses*😎 *glass breaks* 😐 🔍*Sherlock tries helping*🔎🕵🏾‍♂️ 😶 hu-huh?

Scott the wozz from the uncanny valley

i bought the steam version for my steam deck and it’s dumb how much it lags at points still, for reference the steam deck can run red dead 2, sekiro, cyberpunk and even the newer sonic generations at little to no lag depending on ur graphics settings, it’s honestly sad how bad this port is, should’ve NEVER been this hard

Guys, no one tell him the cutscenes are just videos ripped from the Wii version.

I played on switch version verison 1.0 no updates with not a single glitch happening across it all. Other than being bad framerate which is just... switch lol. I got it on ps4 recently and its flawless with 4k and 60fps visuals all over not a single framedrop anywhere. So the answer is, it's not that broken. It never was, was always valuable to end even on version 1.0 switch.

Is the Wii-Version really better I have a wiiu i can play it

Colors is my favorite Sonic game.

7:35 "Teal", not Cyan Wisp BRUH

6:25 better than my attempt

I stopped playing Sonic Colors a year ago because I kept hearing about people loosing their save files hopefully its safe to play now

They should remaster sonic and the Secret rings

clicked on this video to see if the game was still playable, to see if any of the glitches were patched or not. this video doesn’t talk about that at all. It’s just a review

As someone who adored the original and am now playing the remaster after the bug fixes I gotta say...I'm enjoying it. I don't know anything about graphics or lighting or anything and I wasn't playing when the bugs were happening but I know that the remaster feels like a polished (if only slightly more) version of the original

Me and my brother beat the game so I don't see how it's unplayable

when the original game runs on a twice baked gamecube, its not hardware limitations causing the problem.

Bought sonic frontiers and looking to get this one. Bought bayonetta 1/2/3 and house of dead remake ….. how’s that panzer dragon remake? Want to stock up on some sega swag

Most of the thigs you see as a glitches or graphic problems are your lack of skill. at 4:22 it meant to be like that to check your reflex 3:48 yes, you can beat this boss that fast and you can beat the other within the two minutes 2:54 you probably didn't destroy them all and they load your boost level

your opinion on the 2d sections is the complete opposite of everyone elses opinion. thats balls man

still i will play the sonic colors dx mod

2:33 it's a wii game....

I heard GameGuy is allergic to Legos

I can’t understand why the switch version wasn’t 60fps🤦🏾‍♂️

Scott the woz but handsome

I’m not fan of Sonic Colors Wii, DS version is more pleasant for me.

1:40 explains why switch went on sale lol. The worst one ill stick with ds version (r4 on 3ds still lives). Is funny how woke sega gets while hushing up on this and the sonic origins plus physical having codes for amy and game gear (and game gear swept under rug in menu, with no standalone dlc to be "inclusive").

Honestly its....okay now, not awful, but not great really, its fine, but I gosh you missed you pre rendered cutscenes glitching SOMEHOW before it was patched

so nowadays it is excellent to play?

Bunch of complaints from people who have never seen a line of code in their life. Lmfao

Lemme just simplify what i said earlier lol Best way to experience this game is on Dolphin and PC, in my opinion Also how are you still at 380 subs??? You aren't kidding you should get 1000 and more

i regret my purchase; the 2d section controls are terrible. If they're better on wii then dear god let me know because i cant stand these ones

Please, respect people, who believe and don't use Lord's name combined with this kind of swears. It makes me want to run from your channel, because you disrespect what is valuable to me. And it is not pleasant at all. I hope you avoid doing that in the future, no matter what culture or religion. I'm not criticising you, but just want you to think about it

great video but please dont say the Lord's name in vain

is this guy Really copying Scott the Woz with his Blue Border?

It never was unplayable…

I say is unplayed

Did you really have to throw in the lame 'explosion' gags?

It’s not a glitch, rotatatron and refreshinator are really that pathetic

Both sonic colours are poo

This isn't new. This is another Sonic game basterdized with lazy porting and remastering that makes it inferior to the original. They also done this with Sonic Adventure DX and Sonic Adventure 2 Battle. Don't buy this game and emulate the OG on Dolphin instead. No way I am giving Sega money for a basterdized version of a Sonic game that saved the franchise.
