The Egg Shuttle (エッグシャトル Eggushatoru?) is a challenge mode in the Wii version of Sonic Colors, and the remaster Sonic Colors: Ultimate. Here, the player has to try to beat all of their game scores on different Acts.
Description
It has all the Acts that they can play and try to beat their time score in. Players are not required to play in the Egg Shuttle to beat the game. In it, the player does not get Special Rings, and merely runs through the level. Once they lose all of their lives (Tails Saves in the remaster), they must restart from Tropical Resort Act 1. Also, any Rings and boost energy that are left over from the previous level carry over into the next. Super Sonic cannot be used in this mode, even if he is enabled via the Options Satellite. In addition, in Sonic Colors: Ultimate, any Park Tokens collected via the Egg Shuttle do not count towards the player's total.
The Egg Shuttle unlocks after defeating the bosses of both Sweet Mountain and Starlight Carnival. Therefore, it consists always of at least all Acts and bosses of Tropical Resort, Sweet Mountain and Starlight Carnival (a total of twenty-one Acts). The more Acts and bosses of other Areas are completed during normal play, the more become available in the Egg Shuttle, until all forty-five Acts are added. Certain boss fights also become a bit harder in this mode, with slightly altered attack patterns.
