It really made it clear the handheld versions of the Sonic games were NOT to be slept on. They were arguably better in some cases (like 3DS Lost world is HORRIBLY slept on. It was excellent!)
Would’ve been nice if they added this to Ultimate as a little minigame that’d reward you with park tokens so Colors DS’s Special Stages could be recognized while not interfering with how you obtained the Emeralds in the Wii version of the story
It would've been cool if they just used DS as the basis for everything. DS had more story, more sensible level design with the side missions focusing on challenges and the main acts having you go through the thick of it, just like the Wii version originally was before they arbitrarily cut the levels in sections making them feel incomplete.
Yeah honestly, ultimate was a disaster of a game that had zero passion and became a cash grab. I hope they do something better especially if it’s a remake of something like unleashed.
Even if Colors DS neutered Rush's gameplay with the lack of a trick system, the music was still pretty great 3:48 I can still hear the sound of the button that lets you pick up bonus spheres
Even without the trick system, Colors DS more than made up by allowing the player to use Wisps to 1-hit kill the bosses. The biggest flaw in the Rush games was having to wait for the bosses (with their RNG and enormous health bars) to open up their weakspots.
@@dudujencarellialso sonic just feels a lot better to control in colors ds than in the rush games because he has extra movement options like the air dash, homing attack, stomp, and wall jump, it feels amazing to control him in this game, even without the trick system.
I wish they would do this kind of special stage challenge again. there was something nice about the 3 laps and trying to avoid knocking away the spheres you needed to collect in future laps. Plus the music is SO charming how it evolves each lap. This and the Nega Mother wisp fight and the other characters is what was sorely missing from Sonic Colors Ultimate.
the nostalgia of this. I love it. I have the vivid memory of hearing Sonic shout "10-4" and "10-4 good buddy" after laps in the special stage. No stylus, just a finger on an ancient DSi, good times
This franchise really used to have compositional juice, especially in percussion, on an insane high from Adventure all the way up to Generations (and to a lesser extent, Lost World) I mean, Frontiers', Dream Team's, and Superstars' OSTs are all a step up from Forces, but man, it feels like Mania was the last time a Sonic OST was firing *on all cylinders.* Frontiers and Superstars each have a handful of stellar songs, but both OSTs are bogged down by the rest of the songs being mid.
I still wish this song had an uncompressed version in the soundtrack, but it doesn't. It's like one of, if not, the only song of the Colours games that's not in the OST. Sad.
Can someone please tell me why the heck this theme wasnt included on the CD. Like this was one of the only original themes made for the DS version, & the two versions released within 3 day of each other, its truly not out of the question to have had this alongside the tracks from the wii version.
Anyone else with me on the fact that this version was more deserving of the Ultimate remaster than the Wii version? While yes, my first Sonic game was Colors on the Wii, I will say that after playing both versions, the DS version is way, way, WAY better.
this song was so good, it needed 7 composers
God Sonic Colours DS was a gem of a game
It’s better than Colors Ultimate in my opinion.
@@warioplush i also like it more than the wii version
@@geoffreyhamm3436 I think so too, at the time though I didn’t have the Wii version
I think it was just the best colorrs game over all
It really made it clear the handheld versions of the Sonic games were NOT to be slept on. They were arguably better in some cases (like 3DS Lost world is HORRIBLY slept on. It was excellent!)
This theme needs to be heard by more people. It even works as a rainbow road
your right
Came here from someone saying it sounds like GBA RaR
frozen_applejuice I just came from a rainbow road song lol
This music goes with anything
It sounds a lot like DS Rainbow Road now that you mention it
Can't believe they turned ADHD into a song
Yeah, it’s called the 3D Blast Saturn special stage theme
1:56 = 2nd lap
3:26 = 3rd lap
Don't mind me, I'm just saving the timestamps for me
3rd lap is the line in this game.
I think Colors has the best handheld special stages and theme to go with it.
For me Colors DS has the best special stage and theme in the whole Sonic franchise, change my mind
@@f1reflam3 Why would I want to change your mind? You’re right!
@@warioplush hey I see you replied to me in not 1 but 2 different Colors DS videos, damn lol
Anyways, W Colors DS
I think I like rush's better cuz they're harder but it's DEFINITELY close
Theme-wise, the only handheld game special stage I like more is the Advance 3 one.
3:27 best part of the song
This makes me wanna cry and dance at the same time
Agreed
Would’ve been nice if they added this to Ultimate as a little minigame that’d reward you with park tokens so Colors DS’s Special Stages could be recognized while not interfering with how you obtained the Emeralds in the Wii version of the story
Would’ve also been really cool to see them adapt the true final boss from the DS version.
@@akpsyche1299 It would’ve, even if it was like a bonus you could unlock in Game Land
It would've been cool if they just used DS as the basis for everything. DS had more story, more sensible level design with the side missions focusing on challenges and the main acts having you go through the thick of it, just like the Wii version originally was before they arbitrarily cut the levels in sections making them feel incomplete.
@@MarioMastar fair point I probably would’ve actually liked Ultimate if it was based on DS
Yeah honestly, ultimate was a disaster of a game that had zero passion and became a cash grab. I hope they do something better especially if it’s a remake of something like unleashed.
With this banging music, and actuallly much more fun and fair special stage, its one of my favourite from the sonic franchise
Back when we had two releases of mainline sonic games
It's the switch's fault that we don't have different versions for games
fucking certified hood classic
The astroid coaster special stage was especially difficult
oh god siivagunner could easily turn this into megalovania because the opening chord progression
OH NO
not yet, but he did turn it into lost valley which fits surprisingly well.
This game got the best special stages alongside rush adventure's ones
I had forgotten how much of a bop this song is!
Even if Colors DS neutered Rush's gameplay with the lack of a trick system, the music was still pretty great
3:48 I can still hear the sound of the button that lets you pick up bonus spheres
Even without the trick system, Colors DS more than made up by allowing the player to use Wisps to 1-hit kill the bosses. The biggest flaw in the Rush games was having to wait for the bosses (with their RNG and enormous health bars) to open up their weakspots.
@@dudujencarelliI only haven’t played rush bc I don’t like the bosses
@@dudujencarelli Agreed
@@AmongUs-jp8sn Use an action replay code to get through the bosses, play the rest of the game legit, that's my recommendation
@@dudujencarellialso sonic just feels a lot better to control in colors ds than in the rush games because he has extra movement options like the air dash, homing attack, stomp, and wall jump, it feels amazing to control him in this game, even without the trick system.
The DS/Wii era will never be beaten. That was my childhood.
0:10 Holy this Bass drop

"Too cool!"
The music like this of Sonic Colors on the DS is what I like about playing this game :)
Honestly the ds version is the best of the 3
This is a remix of one of the multiplayer themes from Sonic Heroes, or atleast takes inspiration from it, I think it’s the metropolis one
This franchise really used to have compositional juice, especially in percussion, on an insane high from Adventure all the way up to Generations (and to a lesser extent, Lost World)

I love Special Stage 7 final challenge.
Bro i'm crying to this song, especially the third iteration...
This song sounds like sonic the hedgehog pocket adventure
3:11 Final Lap
"The white flag is out! This is the final lap!" ~Daytona USA (1994)
I still wish this song had an uncompressed version in the soundtrack, but it doesn't. It's like one of, if not, the only song of the Colours games that's not in the OST. Sad.

Rainbow Road vibes!!
This special stage OST hits hard. Want this on Spotify!!
Eu amo essa faixa por ser muito viciante e pelo special stage que é muito divertido da prazer de jogar.
why is there so little people talking about this
2024 edit:
nice
like seriously this is one of the best sonic colors tracks ever
@@Min3r_R Ikr? It's so good!
@@Min3r_R I honestly think it's the best Special Stage music in sonic games, well besides Blue Sphere of course.
sonic colors ds is also a very underrated sonic game that i think is better than the wii version
@@Miss._Jellyfish_ Better than Blue Sphere
Special Stage 7 red spheres 90 blue spheres 90 yellow spheres 90.
Memories
I love this!!!!😌👍❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

0:22 Sonic: Lets Go
0:23 "GO!"
I am the 300th like, this deserves wayyyyy more
How did I JUST find out that this song must have taken inspiration from the city area battle music, or most def a remix of it😭😭
i could lisen to colors ost for days
This song is very exciting
GOD THIS SHIT SLAPS RAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH
Both versions really had a Different way to collect Chaos Emeralds.
Nostalgic...
*GO!*
WHY DID THIS NOT GET INTO ULTIMATE
Cause the bonus stages were a ds exclusive
@@muhammedbadjie1960 DS version IS the ultimate version and you can't change my mind
@@muhammedbadjie1960 I think he meant why sega didn't remaster the ds version
fr 💀💀
The official soundtrack doesnt acknoledge the ds version why would the mid remake
Sonic's speed is mid in main areas,But he goes too fast here on 3rd lap
This should have been in that Switch Samba De Amigo game
_“Too cool!”_
The regular show
such a vibe... so good.
Sonic Rush vs Sonic Colors
Sonic Colors ones were doable at least. Also I love the music!
The levels in Colors DS were more fun than the Wii version imo
Edit: in terms of special stages Rush and Colors are equal in my opinion
Easiest special stages I played in any Sonic game.
Man, do I remember getting hyoed when I heard the "BALABALABALABALABALABALABALABALA, BALABALABALABALABALABALABALABALA, BALABALABALABALABALA..."
still better than colors ultimate.
Daamn
This needs a Remix in the style of the Wii version fr.
3:48
WAIT I'M JUST REALIZING THAT A PART OF THE SONG IS SKY SANCTUARY REMIXED
Lmao the beginning sounded like some Regular Show shi 😂
Sonic heroes battle:city area remix
Its just rush
This should also play when all Wisps from Sonic Lost World, Team Sonic Racing, & Sonic Colors return in 2025. 🌈👾🛸🧡
Turn to Jesus
