From the pink Wisp that allows Sonic to burrow through the ground like a mole to the yellow Wisp that turns Sonic into a drill, there's a color for every occasion. Each Wisp power-up is cleverly integrated into the level design, encouraging you to think strategically about when and where to use them.

Wisp Powers

The Wisp powers are more than just a gimmick; they're integral to the gameplay experience. They add a layer of depth to the game, making it more than just a fast-paced sprint to the end of the level. The variety of Wisps keeps the gameplay fresh and engaging throughout the game.
