The few things that went unused in Colors Ultimate that I personally miss were the Miis in game land, the multiple save files, and the online leaderboards the Wii game used to have (which I didn’t get to use).
@@Austinkeith2010 While that is true for PC, PlayStation, and Xbox, the Switch still has Miis and are still appearing in certain games, and yet they were still cut. Now I know there could be a variety of reasons as to why they were cut (they probably wanted to make each platform fair in terms of content), but at the moment, I’m not sure of what other reasons as to why they were cut.
Personally, I like the fact that the stages were shorter. I'd much rather have levels that can be played in short bursts (especially when I'm trying to get all the Red Rings and S-Ranks) then have levels that are just waaaay too long. Hell, that's part of why I think Sonics 1 and 2 are better than S3&K.
Hey Tetra, the reason why at 22:57 you didn't collect the Drill Wisp is due to you having Super Sonic enabled, for some reason in Colours you can't use Wisps if you're using Super Sonic. Also great video, seeing all this unused stuff for my favourite game really makes me appreciate it more!
A couple additional obscure details you missed: 1. The Frigate (orcan and skulligan) voice clips shown at 7:44 ARE actually used, at least in Ultimate. The explosions drown them out tho 2. The ability to upload and race ghost data was actually advertised on the Microsoft store page for the game, but it has since been taken down 3. Sega has confirmed that the game *WILL* come to steam at some point, but we dont know when
pretty sure that was why it was removed. this also is further proof that pontac and graff had no Idea what they were doing when writing the story for this game(or any game after that).
Is it just me, or is Sonic Colors Ultimate’s test rooms more awesome than the other game in some ways?! It’s like a fa game test room…and seeing the type of lighting used in them compared to in the game itself is awesome too! Seeing lighting on everything that doesn’t make them look like they’re in space is just cool! Oh! And the fact the 3D sections are more free roam! Also this video, like usual, is very interesting!
17:57 it’s funny to see graphics leftover from another sonic game that has nothing to do with the current one. Kinda like how in the Mario kart ds prototype donkey kongs voice was leftover from dk64 of all things
I was entirely willing to believe that a re-release came within a year of the initial release, especially with the comment on screen calling it a patch. I didn't realize this was a more recent game until the mention of tour restrictions.
I'm pretty sure this was removed because it makes absolutely no sense. it was already established that one chaos emerald alone contains infinite power, so the wisps being even more powerful than that would not have made any sense whatsoever.
When I heard that sonic colors was getting a rerelease I was really excited seeing as this was one of the first sonic games I ever played, Then it came out… “My boy” “Look how they massacred my boy”
My guess for the tails holding the floppy disk graphic was if it had cross progression, it would show up when you wanted to load data from a different system
The Sonic voice clips in Boss fights might be a detail left over from Unleashed, as Sonic would taunt the Boss when defeating it before the results showed up. Maybe they planned to implement a similar feature but left it out.
8:31 1st of all: We are the Chaos Emeralds 2nd of all: Your not the Chaos Emeralds 3rd of all: You want to be the Chaos Emeralds but you can’t be the Chaos Emeralds because we are the Chaos Emeralds 👁👄👁🔫
The fact that they were planning on attempting to make the chaos emeralds irrelevant since 2010 by intending to make the power of the emeralds *weaker* in comparison to wisps baffles me. It's almost like the first step into today when the emeralds have become almost irrelevant in the games and have only been in the main stories twice since unleashed, being generations and mania and have only been an extra otherwise.
Interesting possible remnant from stages being one instead of split up; I remember hacking the game with Homebrew a long time ago and moon jumping around levels, and at some point ended up stumbling into another act WHILE I was in one already.
There actually is an og Sonic Colours glitch in Tropical Resort and Aquarium Park where you could get enough height and speed to escape Act 1 and end up in the scrapped second halves (Act 2 TR, and Act 4 AP)
Hey at 22:56, you try to collect that yellow wisp to mess around in the second test level but cant collect it. You have super sonic enabled and strangely when it is activated you cant use any wisps at all. If there's any way to deactivate super sonic in the version you used to show off the test levels, you could explore those test drill wisp areas
Fun fact the ghost things are actually a deleted online leaderbards where you can go to any act in any world record a ghost racer and then uplade and peapole will race against your ghost version and they'll win prizes probably park tokens
"That's not...but they're even more powerful than the Chaos Emeralds!" Man it really is a meta era game if the wisps are to have more power than the emeralds
I swear y’all criticize anything. First the wisps was all created by the mother wisps who created all the planets and wisps. And eggman already said they posses incredible power. So they could’ve easily went with this and it would’ve made sense
20:14 I'm not sure if it's in Tropical Resort or Starlight Carnival (probably TResort), but it's used when going backwards somewhere in a 3D section after coming down from an elevated place.
I'm pretty sure it's also used in certain acts where you can free fall (which im pretty sure you did at some point in starlight carnival? it mightve been another one i forgor 💀)
@@c_alam1ty There’s also a few sequences where you can run backwards after a slope, with hidden rings underneath the slope. The camera turns into a top down view.
You wouldnt believe the sheer joy that I felt when I saw the BFDI mouth. Whether it was intentionally put there as a reference or just put there because it was a readily available asset, thank you for making me feel so much better (even if it wansr intentional)
I’m pretty sure the “I got bored and broke your robot” voice clip was re used in Ultimate Also is that unused Tails floppy disk art just re used from Sonic X with a floppy disk shopped in? It looks almost exactly like the Sonic X art style but I’ve never seen that piece in particular before
I find it weird that none of the unused music of the original game was mentioned in here. With there being leftover early versions of Aquarium Park act 2 and Starlight Carnival act 2 (Which are commonly labeled wrongly as “act 4” in many TH-cam Uploads of the soundtrack) as well as the unused hover wisp theme
8:21 - 8:35 I'm sure it's a bit childish, but people saying Nega-Wisp just somehow cracks me up. It sounds so similar to that other word that I really question if they were unsure to say that word in the recording booth. And on that note: EGGMAN NEGA
6:29 If you look the acts not labeled as 1st/2nd half of old act 1/2 or act 1/2 they all reuse stage geometry from the stage that are labeled like that. Basically there were meant to only be 2 acts not 5 or 6.
Some acts are also much longer than others when you look at the game's data, like... the entirety of aquarium Park act 1 is actually quite massive... aquarium Park act 1 might be the one stage that it being split into two was a good thing for the average player lol
I got my sister Sonic Ultimate, and we're both huge Sonic fans and she loved Colors on the Wii... and she had more fun seeing how bad the game could break than actually playing it.
Fun fact, the Frigate boss completion lines that were unused ARE in fact in Ultimate. Here's hoping that once the game has been completely fixed (which as of the latest patch the Switch version is getting pretty close actually) that maybe we'll see at least the other unused victory lines be added into the remaining boss fights. Also I noticed that the test rooms had enemies with a few new tricks not seen in the final release that may potentially get added back into the game in some way such as the laser flyers occasionally sending out a bar of electricity the player would be forced to jump over. Honestly there's still SO MUCH potential for Ultimate to reach once it's been patched back up so I hope Blind Squirrel Games will see to it that the game reaches it in some way (honestly considering the original state of the game they're committing pretty well so far).
21:10 Tails: **walks in the room. He makes a confused face** Sonic. What are you doing? I don't think that's how you do push-ups... Sonic (Jason Griffith voice because I think it fits this scene I'm making better than Roger Craig Smith): Amy sent me a note with instructions on it. I don't get what she means... I think she wants to fight me in Super Smash Bros.? Rouge: **flies in** Hello, boys. Whatcha doin'? Tails: Sonic got this note from Amy but we don't understand it... Rouge: **reads the note. Chuckles** Sonic: What? What is it? Rouge: Something I'll explain later. I think Tails is a bit too young to understand... I apologise for this... I've been cooking up this scene in my head for the rest of the video after this timestamp...
I'm surprised you didn't talk about the unused terminal velocity act 2 in the wii version. Same with the "super easy mode" intended for ultimate wich was supposed to make the game even easier
5:25 This seems incorrect when all future Sonic games would remove those same moves. Also, crouching and kicking doesn’t use a different button - it’s simply crouching when not moving (slide) or double tapping the crouch button when not moving.
The likely reason behind the two similar test levels named after the different department leads is probably because they correspond to which team used which test room.
About 3:52, both games were being developed at the same time (pretty wild when you consider Generations has a stage for colors) so they have alot of shared content internally. Sonic's model is almost identaical in both games i belive (differences being the mouth), which is anyways a simplified version of the unleashed model. But this is probably why the concept art has this pointed out, it was for both games.
The reason why you couldn't grab the drill wisp in the second test room is because in the final game if you enable super sonic mode Sonic can't pick up any of the Wisp so either you enabled super sonic mode before you went to the test map or the test map already had super sonic enabled
9:32 I'm taking a guess and saying this was an original design for the icons on the save files assuming colors ultimate has multiple save slots, so this was probably an original design for tails' icon Was most likely scrapped because of your reasoning earlier, kids don't know what a floppy disk is, or they want the style to be more simplistic But I'm taking guess that this implied that the other characters who had icons for this, yacker, cubot, orbot, eggman and sonic were all going to hold the floppy disk too in some way to indicate the save files I could be wrong so feel free to correct me if you wanna
Nah they should’ve keep it. Especially since the 3ds version made it painfully clear that the mother wisps created all the planets including the wisps. And that she was about the to destroy everything because of eggman did and they mentioned multiple times that the wisps have incredible power. So the emeralds wouldn’t be stronger since there’s other things stronger than them
I think you should've pointed out how the image of Tails holding a floppy is stolen Sonic X-esque fanart from Deviantart, and the silhouetted Super Sonic is from the Archie comics
Oh! And another thing; maybe you can look at the Lost Bits of Sonic Colors on the DS! I thought it'd be interesting to see what the handheld version of Sonic Colors has!
I just checked out the cutting room floor page on this game yesterday because i thought you were never gonna make a video on it, glad you proved me wrong!
"*TWENTY-ELEVEN* REMASTER-" Nice one, Tetra! xD Also, 23:01 You didn't get the drill ability because you had Super Sonic turned on in the Options Satelite.
Huh! You know, in the actual game, if you press the crouch button and then move, sonic will do a slide and he will keep sliding INFINITELY! So maybe that's what the crawling animation in 5:00 was supposed to be?!
The crawling and sweep is used in Unleashed. It’s a way to punish the player for failing to slide in time as crawling is a lot slower. Removing it likely helped with game flow as crawling was annoying in Unleashed.
@@autosaver I get that and I agree. But something that I found very funny was that due to the Crawl getting removed from this game and sonic not having a crawling animation, Sonic will now start sliding around at the speed of sound all over the stage if you try to crawl. I'm not gonna lie, that $&#@ cracked me up the first time I saw it 🤣🤣🤣
The grey sonic silhouettes are interesting it me. The first one is art used for Sonic Unleashed and the Super Sonic one is taken from the Archie comics. Maybe the Metal Sonic one was also from somewhere else but I can't really tell it's just Metal looking at the screen.
5:19 Sonic Colors Supports Gamecube Controllers and have some buttons that dont do anything on the game. so these may be for gamecube controller players only but scrapped.
Crouching doesn’t require an additional button. The crawl and sweep were removed because they were useless. The crawl was used in Unleashed to punish players who failed to slide in time.
@4:40 "maybe missles bigger than sonic himself might be a bit too much for them to keep the E for Everyone rating" *Plays the Heavy Gunner battle in sonic mania where he fires off missiles the same size and shape as this scrapped design* Could of fooled me.
12:11 im going to assume what the other badges/achievements were and what i would name them, Rotatotron: Name] ride shut down, Description: beat the First boss. Captain Jelly: Name] sweet tooth, Description: beat Captain jelly. Frigate Orcan: Name] Star gazing, Description: beat frigate Orcan. Refreshinator : Name] Febreze, Description: beat Refreshinator. Admiral Jelly: name] Scuba diving, Description: Beat Admiral jelly. Frigate Skullian: Name] Meteor Shower, Description: Beat Frigate Skullian. Nega Wisp Armor: Name] Universe Saved, Description: Defeat Dr Eggman. btw i came up with these if anyone wanted to know.
Actually, the tube thing for the motobugs may actually be a remnant from when sonic colors was actually going to be a Wii version of generations instead of it’s own game. Also fun fact: Generations was originally going to have a Wii version as stated above, but also a DS version, which ended up as Colors DS, and a PSP version which eventually became Generations 3DS.

In the unused audio, eggman saying "but they're even powerful than the chaos emeralds" killed my soul.
idk if I still want to live after knowing this, jk
Eggman might have an IQ of 300, but he's not exactly the brightest, so I'd take that line with a huge grain of salt.
pretty sure that was why it was removed. this also is further proof that pontac and graff had no Idea what they were doing when writing the story for this game(or any game after that).
Also that is an exaggeration
That has to be one of the most dumbest logics I’ve ever heard from the sonic 2010s.

It nevered crossed my mind Tetra never made a Sonic Colors lost bits
20:01
This is actually a glitch in Ultimate since Chari somehow ran into it in his EWW
I just realized that at 8:20 in the video,sonic sounds like he siad the n word lol,same for eggman at 8:32
Pretty funny tho 😆 LOL
2:00 the A looks like a yellow amongus
Real😂😂
15:55 that render was used on Cobi’s Gens HD Dreamcast mod video thumbnail

Sonic: PEACE WAS NEVER AN OPTION!
I love how some of the graphics were so clearly marked with their purpose. It's almost like they want you to rip the game assets these days...
8:45 "Twenty eleven remaster" I'm not sure how you keep track of time.
Sonic Colors?
What a colorful lost bit episodes!
8:58 this save icon is used in sonic & all stars racing transformed
wow I never realized how unfortunate the name nega wisp was until I just now heard that cutscene for the first time
Wow, the Chaos Emeralds are mentioned *once* in an unused voice clip. Guess they really did just vanish or something.
Timmy: Mom can we please get sonic?
Mom: We already have sonic at home.
Sonic at home: 15:12
I think you should've pointed out how the image of Tails holding a floppy is stolen Sonic X-esque fanart from Deviantart, and the silhouetted Super Sonic is from the Archie comics
Ah, didn't know!
"Your Balls Will Thank You!"
what a nice way to start a sponsorship
Oh! And another thing; maybe you can look at the Lost Bits of Sonic Colors on the DS! I thought it'd be interesting to see what the handheld version of Sonic Colors has!
"I love test rooms" I'll make sure to leave them in my games for you tetra! 😊
Yes! Amazing!! Nice backround track choices!
Thanks! Colors has a great soundtrack, so it was easy :)
I just checked out the cutting room floor page on this game yesterday because i thought you were never gonna make a video on it, glad you proved me wrong!
Checking out TCRF is always great too!
"*TWENTY-ELEVEN* REMASTER-"
Nice one, Tetra! xD
Also, 23:01
You didn't get the drill ability because you had Super Sonic turned on in the Options Satelite.
DUDE, a SatBK remake would be AWESOME
Huh! You know, in the actual game, if you press the crouch button and then move, sonic will do a slide and he will keep sliding INFINITELY! So maybe that's what the crawling animation in 5:00 was supposed to be?!
The crawling and sweep is used in Unleashed. It’s a way to punish the player for failing to slide in time as crawling is a lot slower. Removing it likely helped with game flow as crawling was annoying in Unleashed.
@@autosaver I get that and I agree. But something that I found very funny was that due to the Crawl getting removed from this game and sonic not having a crawling animation, Sonic will now start sliding around at the speed of sound all over the stage if you try to crawl. I'm not gonna lie, that $&#@ cracked me up the first time I saw it 🤣🤣🤣
I never thought I'd see the phrase "your balls will thank you" in a tetra video.
From third person to side scroller to top down so good
That top-down view is never used in Sonic Colors, so that's pretty cool to see
Good to know!
The reason why you couldnt pick up the wisp is because you have super sonic enabled, which makes wisps unable to collect
20:05 this could have been an early plan for the final boss. In Sonic Colors DS they use a similar perspective
The capsules in the test stage didnt give u wisps because you turned on super sonic mode where you can't use wisps
"With the first 3D game on lost bits"
Zelda Skyward Sword: am i a joke to you!?
The grey sonic silhouettes are interesting it me. The first one is art used for Sonic Unleashed and the Super Sonic one is taken from the Archie comics. Maybe the Metal Sonic one was also from somewhere else but I can't really tell it's just Metal looking at the screen.
5:19 Sonic Colors Supports Gamecube Controllers and have some buttons that dont do anything on the game. so these may be for gamecube controller players only but scrapped.
Crouching doesn’t require an additional button. The crawl and sweep were removed because they were useless. The crawl was used in Unleashed to punish players who failed to slide in time.
Makes sense that the engine is called the "Blind Squirrel" engine because this port was clearly playtested by blind squirrels.
0:34 tetra i trusted you for no having a bfdi asset but here it is
@4:40 "maybe missles bigger than sonic himself might be a bit too much for them to keep the E for Everyone rating"
*Plays the Heavy Gunner battle in sonic mania where he fires off missiles the same size and shape as this scrapped design*
Could of fooled me.

Nega Wisp Armor: Name] Universe Saved, Description: Defeat Dr Eggman. btw i came up with these if anyone wanted to know.
8:44 yea...it's 2011 huh? I thought it was 2021
Wrong it’s 2011 now lol
Oh, thank you, Tetra! You brought the end card music back! Thank you!
14:29
Dang it, Kevin spilled the chili again!
It’s enough to bring a tear to my colors fanboy eye 🥺
Actually, the tube thing for the motobugs may actually be a remnant from when sonic colors was actually going to be a Wii version of generations instead of it’s own game. Also fun fact: Generations was originally going to have a Wii version as stated above, but also a DS version, which ended up as Colors DS, and a PSP version which eventually became Generations 3DS.
8:43 Yes, my favorite sequel that was released in 2011, sonic colors ultimate!
Lol
I thought this year was 2021.
