SO TRUE GO OFF!!!!!!!!

Counterpoint: Play them both for the true full Colors experience

DS for what is just Rush 3, Wii for the daytime stages of Unleashed but not nearly as long...or fun

Imo if you're going to play the DS sonic games, go with rush and rush adventure. Colors feels like a slower, easier version of them. The boost is barely any faster than his normal run speed, unlike in the rush games.

I played and finished both when they came out.

if you're gonna play this game please just emulate the wii version, this port just ruins the only 2 things I really liked about it which is the art direction and music (which are both present and sometimes better, even if limited by the hardware, in the DS version)

Colors is the best one, and feels like a true evolution of the rush games, especially in terms of level design, even if I'm still sad that they removed the trick system which was straight up perfect in rush adventure

I havn't played Colors DS (yet) but if this is really an evolution of the Rush games I might pass. To me, Sonic Rush did not understand what a Sonic should be. I did not dislike them, they were legit platformers for the DS, but they were huge disappointments after the Advance trilogy.

For me, Sonic isn't about insane speed in which you don't see the levels you're going through. It's real platforming, not a running game.

Colors DS isn't Rush 3 simply because it lacks Blaze and the aerial scoring system.

Sonic is literally about speed tho...

Played both wii and ds, still gonna get it for steam.

I would love to see the DS games being remastered or remade as a collection on modern platforms. Also the Advance trilogy as well.

And Sonic Mania isn't really Sonic 4 because it's not called that, and one already exists.
It doesn't matter that it lacked features that previous Rush games had because it's still fundamentally the same game as the previous DS games, and Blaze still appeared on the DS version, so it's spiritually Sonic Rush 3 like how Sonic Mania is spiritually the true Sonic 4.

And momentum. But clearly, there's a greater emphasis on rushing through the stages in these games which makes sense because like you said, it's part of Sonic's character and it's demonstrated in the Boost-era games as well.

the Wii version is superior to the DS version unfortunately

Much like how Sonic 2006 isn't really Adventure 3 because it doesn't feature six separate storylines with their own goals and gameplay, wasn't released on the Dreamcast or GameCube, has no Chao Garden and lacks the amount of polish the Adventure games had.

Why would that be unfortunate if it were true?
It would be great if the Sonic Colors everyone talks about and remembers and which influenced the games that came later were better than the DS version.

Unfortunately, no. Sonic Colors on Wii sucks.

Hard pass! PC version is better.
