Sonic: Rise of the Recolour

Sonic: Rise of the Recolour is a video game entry in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. The game was released on 20th April, 2012 in all regions. The game is notable for introducing Ronic the Recolour, a totally original character that gave the game so much charm. The game was originally going to be released in 2010, however, since nobody could be bothered finishing the game, it was postponed and was released two years later instead.

Plot
Dr. Eggman announces that he is going to take over Central City, so Sonic, Tails and Knuckles decide to stop him! Sonic, however, gets kidnapped by a new character, Ronic the Recolour, when Tails and Knuckles are not looking. Since Tails and Knuckles are idiots, they think that Ronic is actually Sonic.

After defeating Eggman, Ronic reveals that he was a fake all along, and that he is going to destroy the universe by throwing apples at it. Sonic, however, appears out of nowhere, with the seven Chaos Emeralds. He then transforms into his super form and defeats Ronic, who says that he is mean because he has no friends. Sonic, however, says that he can be his friend and with that, the game ends.

Gameplay
Sonic: Rise of the Recolour is basically a 3D Sonic game with very low budget graphics and terrible level design. Even though Sonic's name is in the title, he is not playable until the final boss. The two playable characters are Tails and Knuckles.

Tails can fly indefinitely, meaning he can skip giant parts of levels. Knuckles can punch enemies, but it is barely worth it, since it has incredibly low range.

Zones
There are eight zones in the game. Every zone has 2 levels and a boss, aside from the last two zones, which only have a boss. The zones are:
 * Green Hill Zone
 * Super Bland Zone
 * Glitch Paradise Zone
 * Cheap Death Zone
 * Icy Volcano Zone
 * The Final Zone
 * The FINAL Final Zone
 * The Actual Final Zone

Multiplayer
There are also versus races in this game, where 1-4 players can race on any regular stage in the game. The playable characters are Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Ronic. It is not recommended to play this mode for two reasons:
 * The game will lag majorly with 4 players.
 * Everybody will only want to play as Tails due to how broken he is.

Reception
Sonic: Rise of the Recolour was panned by critics due to its bland level design, low budget quality and lackluster multiplayer. Despite this, however, many agree that the game is not as bad as '06 or Rise of Lyric.
