Sega has released a spotlight trailer for Sonic Colors: Ultimate, showcasing the high-definition updates you can expect to see in the re-vamped version of the 2010 original game.
In the first of a series of spotlight trailers, the game takes you back to Dr. Eggman's Interstellar Amusement Park where you can run through the whole theme park at 60 fps, see bright lights and colors all around — in other words, the lighting is has increased the amount of color bloom in many areas — and the game will run on 4K resolution and improved graphics. You can see the difference in the trailer below.

In addition to a faster frame rate and HD graphics galore, Sonic Colors: Ultimate will bring a new battle mode called Rival Rush, where you compete in a race against Metal Sonic and unlock some colorful rewards. You will also get Park Tokens to use in the store and buy unique boosts, auras, shoes and gloves for Sonic. That may explain the yellow gloves in the initial screenshots and trailers back in May.
Joining the Wisp power-up arsenal is a new hyper-go-on called the Jade Ghost, which allows Sonic to transform and fly through walls and other solid barriers to reach hidden areas for Red Rings and switches. There's also the 100 Count Ring that'll give you a temporary boost of speed and invincibility, and increase your overall score after each level.
Need someone to rescue you from falling into the bottomless pit of space? Leave it to Tails! All you need to do is find a Tails Save spot and he'll swoop in and fly you back to where you fell off. If you want some smooth gameplay, you will be able to customize the controls to find the control mechanics that are compatible with your play style. Plus, the game's soundtrack is remixed from the original track so you can jam out while bringing Eggman's intergalactic theme park down to Earth.
Sonic Colors: Ultimate is heading to PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC via the Epic Games Store on Sep. 7.
