Sonic Colors Ultimate has had a bit of a mixed ride so far – we mostly enjoyed our time with the game when playing it for review, but some players have been reporting some rather wild, fun-ruining glitches. One thing most of us will be able to agree on, though, is that the game has a pretty ace soundtrack.
While Ultimate's remixes won't be for everyone, the original tracks will no doubt have been stuck in peoples' minds ever since the original game launched on Wii. Thankfully, in celebration of these tunes, a new vinyl soundtrack release has been announced thanks to a partnership between Sega and iam8bit.
Featuring 21 tracks in total, including the game's theme song 'Reach for the Stars', the release is available in two versions (although the limited edition has already sold out). The standard edition, which you can pre-order here, is available for $39.99 and features two randomly coloured vinyl discs (blue, purple, orange, and green are possible options).
The standard edition bundle will ship in 2022; if you were lucky enough to grab one of the Limited Edition bundles (which feature a wild sprite trail splatter effect), you'll get yours at the end of this year.
Update: It's also come to our attention that UK retailer Zavvi has an exclusive Gold Ring variant, consisting of gold discs. Thanks to Nik for the tip!

Nice to see they put more effort into the vinyl release than the port of a Wii game.
Do you have to pay extra to get the Planet Wisp remixes?
Not something I would get anyway, but I much prefer those solid colour versions to the splatter one.
How about you let people change the damn remixes first.
I wouldn't want to buy an album where I only enjoy half of the remixes.
Jun Senoue's remixes are pretty good, but the added piano to the Tropical Resort act 1 remix is distracting and has awful mixing.
I'm not a vinyl collector anyway, but they are cool and I understand why people care for them.
Oh, I need to correct something.
"Jun Senoue's original tracks will no doubt have been stuck in peoples' minds ever since the original game launched on Wii"
Jun Senoue did not contribute anything to the original Wii game's soundtrack.

It was composed by talent such as Tomoya Ohtani, Fumie Kumatani, Kenichi Tokoi, Hideaki Kobayashi, Mariko Nanba, and Naofumi Hataya
The version with colour splats reminds me of the latest glitches
Let's hope the game gets some lovely patches.
@FragRed They tried porting it to cd, but failed.

It's nice to see more Sonic Vinyls. Hope that it's widely available so that it doesn't get massively scalped
Sonic is getting a big release
That's really cool put they need to patch the port of this excellent game. Awaiting physical.
Yeah... I'm going to pass on this... Don't want Sega to F'up my turntable too.
