We know the popular narrative for some is to say that Sonic's been in a rut and had a bad run of games, but recent years have brought some solid entries. Sonic Colours / Sonic Colors certainly qualifies as one of the better releases in the past couple of generations, blending 2D and 3D play with some neat twists and power-ups.
In addition to being a fun Wii game, it also has some fascintating glitches. The A+Start channel on YouTube has compiled plenty of them in the video below, and they're some of the coolest glitches we've seen in a while - 2D areas playable in 3D, tricks for speedruns and others that allow you to simply explore environments far beyond the scope that was intended.
Just because a game's good doesn't mean it can't be riddled with fun glitches to use; Sonic Colours is proof.

I do love thos game!!
Amazing. Nice video
I've been meaning to do an Egg Shuttle run of this game but I haven't had the the time. It's a great game!
Still my favorite 3D Sonic game to date, hands-down.
This just gives me a reason to go back and start playing it again later tonight on the Wii. I noticed there's a good Steam sale going on for Sonic games right now, too. Lost World included in that mix.
They should call the next game "Sonic: King of Glitches" or "Sonic vs the Glitches". All the older gamers know Sonic as Mario's chief rival, but for kids today Sonic is "that videogame character from all the bad broken games".
Sonic, Aquaman and Superman walked into a bar...
@rjejr
So true that it's kind of sad
love this game. only sonic game i have really enjoyed since early 90s
It's not a 3D Sonic game without glitches!
@rjejr and you went to the bar washroom with Mario...
This makes me want to play Sonic Colours again. I was never able to get an S rank on the Asteroid Coaster boss (I think the second one) so maybe this glitch will make it possible. Got S rank on every other level but that one it was so annoying!
Being able to play the game with a Gamecube controller made Sonic Colours more enjoyable for me.
@Tsurii Well let's just say there's broken, and then there's Sonic 06. That's the game that pretty much started the PS3 and Xbox360 gen 10 years ago now, so a lot of teenagers and 20 somethings know Sonic for that game, and know how famously its broken. i think my point was focused more on howl ong it has been since Sonic 06 and some other games since then have not been every well received, an entire generation of gamers know Sonic for that.
@rjejr Sonic '06... the game where an item could give you infinite jump because the devs didn't finish programming the energy bar.
Oh, and... is NL being sponsored by A+ Start or something? Not that I dislike his videos or anything but I've seen them all over recently.
@wazlon You rightly sate the problem of Wiimote controller. Playing Sonic Unleashed with the Wiimote controller makes the game unenjoyable.
