Is it possible to beat Sonic Colors without using wisps? Let me know your guess, and if not, what do you think is the minimum required wisps to beat the game?

i've got a challenge idea for you to tackle, "is it possible to beat sa2 without any upgrades?" if not, as few upgrades as possible, you decide whether you complete only one story, or the entire story
Sadly even if we counted supersonic for this run, and we said boss fights don’t count, there’s one glaring issue: To unlock super sonic yet to get all the red rings which means you have to use the wisp
You can beat Aquarium Park act 4 even without boosting, at the end chase with the purple crab bot, when the robot goes for a punch side step towards the arm he’s gonna punch you with (so if his left arm is gonna punch you side step towards his left arm) because he’ll just punch right past sonic because sonic hid under the robots arm as it punches. I didn’t know this for years my brother randomly found out haha
You can make it up the tower in Starlight Carnival Act 5 with a single Hover Wisp use if you spam the Light Speed Dash button, Which greatly extends your time, and pick up a spare capsule or two on the way before you run out.
I’m gonna guess that No you cannot. Either you’re gonna have to use the White, Drill, Laser or Frenzy wisps at some point. I’m gonna guess you have to you at least one, if not all, of those wisps at least once
I mean i know its a new game and all but once you unlock super sonic than yeah because doesn't the levels change to be able to beat them without the wisps?
@@Sonic101hedgehog yeah, only because wisps are unusable with super enabled since they take up the same slot on the hud and it would suck to keep losing all your rings while flopping around like a dying fish with the hover wisp
@@NotRay1995 It's supposed to mean that the Game Grumps (especially Arin) are really bad at Sonic games. Like, unbelievably bad. Almost like they're deliberately playing poorly to make the games look clunkier and more glitchy than they really are.
@@HOTD108_ If you look at their Sonic Adventure DX playthrough, in Emerald Coast, they slow down at the first loop and then make themselves clip through the floor
It's been a while since I've seen such a good Sonic game challenge. reminds me of the "beating sonic adventure with only Big the Cat" or "beating Sonic 3 without pressing right" challenges a couple years back
This was a very impressive playthrough. Playing through a game while trying to avoid using its primary mechanic makes for a great challenge run. Next you should try playing through Sonic Adventure without using the Chao. I know, it's impossible, and could possibly be considered masochism, but it would be interesting too see you try.
I'll be honest, the wisps have grown on me. The idw comics give them a ton of charm and the reason for them being on the main planet being "some of em just liked it there" is a silly and fun reason for it.
I think the wisps were done pretty well in sonic colors. They weren't really forced on you (except for exactly 10 times), and they were used to give the levels a lot of extra depth. Most of them aren't even slow, if you use them properly. It can be really satisfying to use a wisp in a creative way to get a red ring.
i've always said that everything from colors wii should've been a one time thing for sonic the blocky platforming, the writing, the wisps, etc; because if it didn't plague the games for more than a decade, i feel like they would've been respected more i always love using the wisps and well timed moves to play colors wii's stages
@@SrSander Yeah, they totally and intentionally set it up to be a one-time thing in Colors, but then they were brought back in every game afterward. It's somewhat strange...
@@ModBros8434 kinda, colors was so well recieved back then that sega thought that's what the fans wanted out of sonic (including the wisps), when the reason it was liked is because it was a break from the epic sonic stories of the monster of the week and some other reasons XD the last games back then were sonic and the black knight and sonic 4, and if you don't count the storybook series as mainline, then it was sonic unleashed (and even to this day people praise the daytime stages, which is why they brought those back in colors but not the werehog)
The hover wisp is fueled on rings, so in some of those Starlight Carnival levels couldn’t you use the light-speed dash to fuel yourself and pick up another capsule before time runs out?
I would’ve liked seeing the challenge done again with boosts allowed. I feel like it could’ve solved a couple of the issues, certainly not all but some at least
0:36 “What was the point of saving the Wisp if they were just going to infest earth?” Sonic Timeline: “Well, technically, that’s Sonic World in Sonic Colors. Earth was the planet in the Adventure Games.”
Wow what a weird coincidence considering I was just scrolling through Senza's channel not too long ago, a channel pretty much dedicated to the question: Can you beat X game with/without Y?
You don't need wisp in the original I'm pretty sure here 2 bcuz if u have super sonic how do you beat the stage? Jeez you can't help but love other People's pain if your in gen z also when u get super sonic with planet wisp act 1 at the end a shortcut using springs appears
I love the Wisps, and you can’t make me change my mind! Hate on them all you want, but they helped bring the Sonic series back on track! And even though they’re in Lost World and Forces, they’re completely optional 80% of the time! So you don’t even need to use them for most of the game! Great video though! I’d love to see more of these videos!
@@Chase1.9 They probably are, if it was only Forces, they would still be fine, honestly, for Forces, my hate of them came in hindsight, it was later when I played Lost Worlds that I developed my dislike on them, and I still couldn't finish it (I got too tired to finish it cuz I had to handle a slowed down game because of my bad PC)
I know you loath wisps, but I kinda like them, considering that I grew up with Sonic Colors. They kinda fit in to Sonic, considering eye color and brow ridges. Please don't kill me.
Yeeeeah...no, I couldn't activate Blue Cube in my first go of Colors and stopped playing the game, there was no way I was able to continue without the Wisp and so that's a lie, you freaking have to use Wisps to get all the Red Rings.
@@jimmysmomschannel I actually didn't have explosives but the Wisp couldn't activate for me for some reason, Cyan was no issue and so my Wiimote wasn't the issue, it was how difficult the Blue Cube is to activate and it ruined the flow, it was so frustrating that I just got tired of playing Colors and I beaten SATSR even in my 20s so that says alot about Colors. Anyways, Super Sonic is an unlockable and the question is beating the game without Wisps which clearly means you can't.
@@artistanthony1007 1. You might wanna re-read your reply, if you think nothings wrong with it, I'll tell you from my point of view. I'll comment my opinion about this afterwards.
You can avoid boosting in act 4 of Aquarium Park by side stepping to the same side as the punch from the Big Chaser (left if left side if its right fist is thrown and vice versa) I never even thought about boosting away from it as a kid!!!!
In starlight carnibal act 5, you can actually use only one if you use the hover wisp by going on the long ring chain after beating the robots at the beginning of the 3d section. It luckily actually reaches the top by only using one
I never understood why people hated wisps. It's narratively not a huge leap to say that some would stay on Sonic's planet after being saved, and they mix up his gameplay just a bit to keep the levels fresh. I dunno. They were fun to me.
A lot Sonic fans are always conflicted and change their opinions each year or two but in terms of hating the wisps i can't blame them there almost everywhere after sonic colours released
It would be very easy if you rely on Super Sonic mode. But in the case of this video, that doesn't count. I thought the Wisps counter with Yacker's face was very funny haha
People are way too hard on the wisps. If you played the story mode of sonic runners it mentions that some of the wisps decided to stay on sonics home world because they liked it there so much.
I’m not sure how many people know this, but if you bounce off an enemy Classic Sonic style, you can get a lot of height. I discovered this as a kid in the original and it’s still a thing in Ultimate
ACTUALLY, you're wrong on the crab boss. By going to the opposite side of where he throws his punch, you can dodge it. I learned that in Terminal Velocity, not Aquarium Park.
I had a dream where I found a REALLY old UA-cam channel of yours with one video on it, where your voice hadn't yet changed and you were showing how to draw in the SA1 art style but you weren't as good at it as you are now.
I actually tried this on my own (though I didn't record any footage), and my total was 23 times. I was playing the original version of the game and boosting counted as Wisp usage. Even though this video exists, I'm gonna make my own once I get working capture equipment, just while not counting boosting. So after recording footage, my total was 15, though I completely forgot about wall jumping through the 1st spikes section of Act 1.
I’d say the reason everyone hates the wisps now is because almost every game after colors had no reason for them to be included. In this game they were a part of the story and each was used and placed perfectly in each level. Still, the white wisps in each game isn’t that big of a deal as they actually serve a purpose of giving you boost!!
I see the sonic cycle again also mark my words in another decade people are gonna beg for the wisps to come back because thats the sonic cycle also the wisps could be way to get hyper sonic because wisp energy is called hyper go on and they should do a feature that super sonic + wisps = hyper sonic also i had no idea that you lived in Chicago i also live in Chicago also im more of a meta era fan because thats the era i grew up with but everybody has their own slice of sonic also don't leak your address or some sonic fans will will come up to the place you live in and tear you limb to limb
I remember I tried to do a Wispless playthrough years ago back on the Wii. It kinda went like your playthrough, I had to use a few but I went through the the game mostly Wispless.
I would assume 0 Wisps required including White Boost Wisp Capsules, In Colors Super Sonic Disables Wisps so I would assume every stage would have to be possible even without using it (it isn't, he mentioned stage accommodations at the end). Even if boost is required, if you are playing Ultimate you could get boost via Perfect Homing Attack as a different Source (this doesn't include actual enemies which drop White Wisps). (also Forgot Final Color Blaster)
Haven’t watched the video yet, but I just wanted to say that I mapped the boost to the right trigger (so I would use it less) and found the game much more enjoyable and evenly paced. I have a feeling the game was mostly designed without the boost, and that they chickened out of just making a simple Sonic platformer and shoehorned the boost in.
Since you’re counting refilling the wisp gauge mid-use as part of a single wisp use, you could’ve reduced the number of hover wisps you used in starlight carnival.
Considering the announcer calls out each of them individually and you have to press the wisp button for each wisp I would say the final color blaster counts as 7 wisp uses.
Just saying, if glitching through the floor in Aquarium Park isn't cheating, abusing Super Sonic isn't cheating. So if you really can't bring yourself to use Wisps, you can do that. You beat Nathaniel Bandy to this one for sure!
The difference is, to unlock Super Sonic in the first place, you have to use wisps. So at that point you might as well count all the wisps you had to use to unlock him. 🥲
Well, to answer your question at the start of the video, Chaomix, I do think it's possible to beat Colors without using any wisps, not including the final boss fight. However, I've already been spoiled by UA-cam when I hovered over this video with my mouse and it showed how many wisps you had used.
When fighting the crab bot thing in Terminal Velocity, you can hug the corner of his punching arm to avoid getting hit, it is hard but you can pull it off without dying
That's not what this video was about, did you even read the title? It says Can you beat Sonic Colors WITHOUT Wisps and so you literally are using Wisps to unlock him meaning you used Wisps in Colors.
Now I am curious as to how you can do the same thing with the DS version, as that one seems HEAVILY centered around the wisps than its Wii counterpart.
I feel like it is unfair to fault Sonic Colors for having the wisps. Every game afterwards I understand, but to bring Colors down just because the games afterwards had them is a little over the top and nitpicky. No one would have thought wisps were going to plague the rest of the games after this games release, no one knew Iizuka would be mind boggling goofy with how he made his decisions. So, this overly excessive hate towards the game for the wisps because of games afterwards just seems ridiculous. Not saying you can't have that opinion, but it is little ridiculous in my eyes.
Some people disliked the wisps since their very implementation, the later games only highlighted their issues further. ''No one would have thought wisps were going to plague the rest of the games after this games release'' Ironic in retrospective when you consider that critics and fans alike praised this game saying ''this is what every 3D Sonic game should be like''. Monkey's Paw much?
@@MegaGlassguy It's fine to dislike the wisps every since the beginning, never said it wasn't and it's completely valid to have that opinion, I'm just saying that it is kinda ridiculous to blame the game for what other games have done in the future. It's like saying you can't enjoy the Sonic Adventure because Knuckles gameplay was even worse in Sonic Adventure 2. Just seemed unfair. Also, while I can't speak for everyone who made that statement, I believe what they were saying is they want more polished and focused games like Colors, not exactly the wisp gameplay. People probably took it too literally, like they want ANOTHER game JUST like Colors when I'm pretty sure that's not the case at all.
Is it possible to beat Sonic Colors without using wisps? Let me know your guess, and if not, what do you think is the minimum required wisps to beat the game?

@Cam! didn't Black Knight come out before colors?
Well we have Sonic Frontiers now, so they finally did it lol.
Sonic Frontiers 2 confirmed
Ask Frontiers no Wisp in sight

You can totally dodge those punches without boosting, just sidestep to the side of his punch
I have tried that so many times and it never worked

Lol this would be impossible in the remakes since they made the invisible walls where they put the ghosts.
Have a great day!
That thumbnail Sonic looks absolutely disgusting.. I love it!
Never played Colors but.. that thumbnail is heartbreaking.
Good video luckily you didn't get any glitches 😅
Considering the announcer calls out each of them individually and you have to press the wisp button for each wisp I would say the final color blaster counts as 7 wisp uses.
Just saying, if glitching through the floor in Aquarium Park isn't cheating, abusing Super Sonic isn't cheating. So if you really can't bring yourself to use Wisps, you can do that. You beat Nathaniel Bandy to this one for sure!
The difference is, to unlock Super Sonic in the first place, you have to use wisps. So at that point you might as well count all the wisps you had to use to unlock him. 🥲
@@chaomix yeah, here I go again acting like an expert for a game I've never played...lol!
With Super Sonic You need 1 For the Final Boss
Well, to answer your question at the start of the video, Chaomix, I do think it's possible to beat Colors without using any wisps, not including the final boss fight. However, I've already been spoiled by UA-cam when I hovered over this video with my mouse and it showed how many wisps you had used.
When fighting the crab bot thing in Terminal Velocity, you can hug the corner of his punching arm to avoid getting hit, it is hard but you can pull it off without dying
whati like wbout the wisps: the concept
what i dont Like: the execution of said concept
Im not a wisp fim but that thumbnail made me really feel bad use the wisps #Alwaysusehypergoonenergy
Neat.
Now do it in the version that ISN'T a glitchy mess.
Sonic made the wisps go Extinct which is why chaomix is not using them for this run
I hate the wisps, but enabling Super Sonic turns the Wisps off😁👌
Too bad you have to use Wisps to get him so that defeats the purpose of this video.
I really lime this type of video
Will you do more challenges?
In lost world the minimum amount of wisp usage is 4 and 0 in forces
As someone who has attempted the same challenge, but on the very different DS version of the game, I highly recommend trying that as well.
Can you beat Sonic Colors Ultimate without any colors?
Can you beat sonic no using a controler????
i don't hate the wisps but my fucking god why can't they go away
god i love the icon for the wisp counter
Yes u can. Super sonic disables the wisps so they had to make every level beatable without em.
But you need to collect all red rings (some requires the wisps). So, using super sonic early is locked
That's not what this video was about, did you even read the title? It says Can you beat Sonic Colors WITHOUT Wisps and so you literally are using Wisps to unlock him meaning you used Wisps in Colors.
The way you broke the game to get to the end
Now I am curious as to how you can do the same thing with the DS version, as that one seems HEAVILY centered around the wisps than its Wii counterpart.
You shouldve had a seperste counter for the boost wisps
Me before watching the video:no no there's no chance

I feel like it is unfair to fault Sonic Colors for having the wisps. Every game afterwards I understand, but to bring Colors down just because the games afterwards had them is a little over the top and nitpicky. No one would have thought wisps were going to plague the rest of the games after this games release, no one knew Iizuka would be mind boggling goofy with how he made his decisions. So, this overly excessive hate towards the game for the wisps because of games afterwards just seems ridiculous. Not saying you can't have that opinion, but it is little ridiculous in my eyes.
Some people disliked the wisps since their very implementation, the later games only highlighted their issues further.
''No one would have thought wisps were going to plague the rest of the games after this games release''
Ironic in retrospective when you consider that critics and fans alike praised this game saying ''this is what every 3D Sonic game should be like''. Monkey's Paw much?
@@MegaGlassguy It's fine to dislike the wisps every since the beginning, never said it wasn't and it's completely valid to have that opinion, I'm just saying that it is kinda ridiculous to blame the game for what other games have done in the future. It's like saying you can't enjoy the Sonic Adventure because Knuckles gameplay was even worse in Sonic Adventure 2. Just seemed unfair.
Also, while I can't speak for everyone who made that statement, I believe what they were saying is they want more polished and focused games like Colors, not exactly the wisp gameplay. People probably took it too literally, like they want ANOTHER game JUST like Colors when I'm pretty sure that's not the case at all.
Yo I love challenge videos like this, that was a lot of fun!
Yes. Yes you can. Turn on super sonic
