Starlight Carnival

'''"Next Stop, the Starlight Carnival. The sheer scale of our illuminated space fleet is sure to make you feel small and insignificant by comparison."

- Dr.Eggman '''



Starlight Carnival is the second or third stage in Sonic Colors, depending if you choose it or Sweet Mountain first. It, like most of the levels, has a carnival or circus like theme. The place is set in space surrounded by a fleet of spaceships with colorful neon lights and decorative neon boards. There are also many lighted statues, such as a Greek god-like man with a bow and arrow strung (it is used to traverse certain parts of levels in the DS version) and a bull. Much of the gameplay focuses on Sonic running on a purple translucent energy path and Quick-Stepping to avoid enemies. There is no sense of control in any 3D parts in Starlight Carnival. The Egg Pawns in this area are seen playing trumpets and dancing.

There is a lot of homage in this level, such as Motobugs from Sonic 1.

The boss of this stage is a large, armed spaceship. Sonic must run on one of the above-mentioned paths and dodge gunfire from the spaceship's turrets.

Wii

 * Cyan Laser
 * Green Hover

The twin warship, Frigate Orcan. The ship flies around firing at Sonic with a machine gun. To defeat it, Sonic must keep bashing the ship until it goes down. The ship will occasionally drop crates containing rings, Wisps and spike balls. If Sonic has a Cyan Laser Wisp, then he can target the ship and inflict massive damage.

A harder version of this boss named Frigate Skullian is fought in the Asteroid Coaster.

DS
Also Frigate Orcan.

Eggman's Quotes
At various points during the stage, Eggman's voice is heard in the background over a loudspeaker. He says the following phrases:
 * "If you experience explosive decompression, please try to avoid staining the seat cushions. Those things are expensive!"
 * "Attention, the anti-gravity toilets on this level are out of order, we are sorry for this inconvenience and hope you can hold it for another 20,000 light years."
 * "Please note that this ride is not safe for children under 12, or over 13, it is also not safe for 13 year olds."
 * "Remember for your safety please avoid-- as well as-- never under any circumstances-- as it is a living being and will bite your face off."
 * "Attention ladies and gentlemen, please make your way to the main viewing area where the Light Speed Electrical Parade is about to begi.. oh and that concludes our Light Speed Electrical Parade."
 * "Just a reminder, please refrain from pushing buttons on the starship, occasionally one might eject you into space, if this happens your next-of-kin will be billed for the replacement hatch."
 * "Please refrain from peeling off the special space-age polymer holding the starship together, it may look and feel like duct tape, but it's not, it's called... er... space tape! Very advanced stuff. Thank you."
 * "Attention, the muscle atrophy simulator is not open today, we apologize for this inconvenience but we would not able to find the strength to open it."
