Aquarium Park

"Next Stop, the Aquarium Park. This underwater attraction is the perfect place to commune with sea life and hopefully get chummy with a shark."

- Dr.Eggman

Aquarium Park is the fifth level in Sonic Colors. It is an Oriental-themed level (similar to Chun-Nan in Sonic Unleashed) set near and under water. When Sonic falls into the water, instead of losing a life, he switches to side-scrolling view and can move around in the water.

An interesting feature here is that Yellow Drill can be used underwater. Crabmeats and samurai-themed Egg Pawns make their appearance here, as well as a giant robot resembling the Interceptors from Unleashed that chases Sonic through a tunnel. No new Wisps are learned here, but Yellow Drill is used extensively here in the form of a torpedo.

Act 1
Nintendo Wii :

Act 1 starts with Sonic slowly descending into the water park and landing inside a winding tube that leads to the entrance of the park. A spectacular view of the the oriental above-ground scenery Aquarium Park has to offer is displayed as Sonic blazes down a long path in Quick-Step mode. Throughout the stage Sonic attains the opportunity to view the wonderful world under the sea by diving into large pools of water filled with all sorts of marine life, plants, and oriental structures. After crossing the ocean, Sonic lands on a slowly descending platform with Egg Pawns dropping from the sky. Afterwards, Sonic must Quick-Step to avoid the large water capsules in his path and smash large metal crates into the rows of Egg Pawns blocking his way. Sonic is then lead to small pool of water where the Goal Ring resides. The Cyan Laser and more prominently, the Yellow Drill, are the wisps found in this act. Sonic must use their powers to reach new areas in the stage. Instead of being used for digging, the Yellow Drill is used underwater to transform Sonic into a rocketing torpedo. Nintendo DS :

Act 2
Nintendo Wii :

Act 2 starts with Sonic racing along collapsing platforms players will find the only Wisp here is the Blue Cube.

Here players will have to navigate treacherous waters while being push downward by currents produced by the fans. The only Wisps here are they Orange Rocket and Purple Frenzy.

Act 4 (Nintendo Wii Only)
Act 4 begins with Sonic jumping on a spring to get to a corkscrew pathway. While running down this pathway Sonic encounters a massive robot resembling a lobster that is similar to the Interceptor from Sonic Unleashed. After escaping it's clutches, Sonic runs through more of the strutcures using the Cyan Laser and the Yellow Drill to go through the act. In this part of Aquarium Park, Sonic has to go through areas with more water. Sonic then ends the level by running down a steep grade while being chased by the Interceptor introduced at the beginning of the stage. After reaching the bottom of the grade, the Interceptor collides into the ground and explodes leading Sonic to break open a Wisp Capsule.

Act 5 (Nintendo Wii Only)
Act 5 is relatively short, here players come across yellow tri-springs which keep up with Sonic's movements only from left to right. If Sonic moves from right to left the spring will continue on its path. There are no Wisps in this act.

Act 6 (Nintendo Wii Only)
Act 6 begins with Sonic on a short, narrow platform leading him directly underwater. Here Sonic uses the Yellow Drill to maneuver his way through tunnels, against currents, and avoiding spikes. After exiting the body of water, Sonic comes across a large, beautiful waterfall that leads to a section that utilizes the Green Hover Wisp to reach different sections of the stage. Sonic then comes across a room filled with Egg Pawns and Crabmeats which he must defeat before advancing further into the stage. Sonic is then lead to another large body of water where he must dodge killer eels before reaching the Goal Ring.

Boss
Nintendo Wii :

The boss for aquarium park is Admiral Jelly and crew, this boss is similar to the Sweet Mountain's boss, Captain Jelly they share the same theme, progression, and attack scheme. But unlike the Sweet Mountain's pirate ship, this boss fight takes place entirely underwater and on a submarine and instead of dodging cannonballs, the player has to avoid and dodge missles while racing to the switch. Once there the player finds that it's incased in clear glass. To crack just lure one of the homing missles with Sonic as live bait. The missle will explode destroying the case and aloowing the player to flip the the switch, which will cause the sub to shut down, landing at the bottom of the Aquarium Park's sea. Sonic then jumps off of the sub to another flat strutcure. Admiral Jelly and crew then swim out to fight Sonic. He'll spin around while swimming with he's telescope and after some time he'll get dizzy and stop. Sonic then can easily hit him and he'll than retreat back to his sub after two hits. Keep repeating this process two more times until he's defeated. The player can also use the Yellow Drill, which counts as two hits during the one-on-one fight.

The Aquarium Park Boss takes place in a flat arena versus Admiral Jelly, an upgraded version of the Sweet Mountain boss. The platform is able to be tilted by stomping on the ends. The Wisp power obtainable from this boss fight, is the Cyan Laser.

Trivia

 * Strangley, this place doesn't really look like a park, despite its name.
 * The acts in Aquarium Park seem to take place under large domes.
 * Aquarium Park and Sweet Mountain share similar bosses.
 * Judging by the order of the cutscenes appearance in the Options Satellite, it's possible that Aquarium Park is the offical fifth world, or zone in Sonic Colors.
