Sonic Colors: Ultimate is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. For those willing to take on another challenge to make 100% completion easier, using Super Sonic from start to finish in any stage nets gamers an S Rank instantly, so Super Sonic is worth getting for sure. There's no reward for getting every S Rank, but the diamond S on the hub world screen does look nice. In general, skilled players may find that getting S Ranks may be easier than they expected, as it mostly comes down to the skill of the person playing as they do what they can to beat stages. Some of the Wisps need to be saved in specific levels, so going back to stages again might mean a new Color Power could help boost players' ranks. Fans can get the same type of Wisp active in another capsule to extend the time a Color Power can be active for, making it that the bonus keeps going until the gauge runs out. Also relying on Sonic's new friends, the Wisps, is also important as players get a special bonus depending on how long the Wisps' Color Powers are active. Players can earn extra points by collecting the Red Star Rings scattered around the stage, which help with unlocking Metal Sonic's Rival Rush levels and other features new to Sonic Colors: Ultimate. Collecting these are highly important, as they may be the difference between A and S. Naturally, the score also takes into account how many rings players collect during their run through the stage. Players should take note that wasting time to make sure to pull these off and possibly dying in the process will hurt their score rather than help it, so they should only focus on things like quick-stepping frequently when they have the opportunity. The biggest notable example is for players to succeed at mashing the jump button at certain points throughout the stage, but other ways include homing attacking enemies in succession or smashing through them all at once, grinding on rails, or performing quick steps. One way fans can make sure to raise their score in Sonic Colors' HD re-release is by performing tricks and making sure to accomplish feats throughout the level to get bonus points.

As soon as the robots had their backs turned turned, a Blue Wisp rebel emerged from hiding, followed by a Green Wisp, Pink Wisp, Orange Wisp, Yellow Wisp, and Cyan Wisp, all of which sported similar rebel-themed attire and appearances. There is also the Cyan Wisp, which turns Sonic into a penetrating laser that can be used not only to bounce off walls and crystalline objects, but also simultaneously shock enemies. Such Wisps featured in the trailer include the White Wisp, which is one that grants Sonic the ability to boost into foes and potential roadblocks at an incredible speed, utterly destroying them in the process.
