I genuinely thought it was an ok name.

Also its Colours. The U stands for USA.

Colors - The omission of the U is entirely because us BRITISH don't like to waste letters! D{

Bizarro MoFo? 😮

I honestly thought it was going to be something akin to Mario Paint when I first read the name. I mean, I wouldn't put it past Sega. Also, because JAPAN and their crazy-licious naming schemes.

And can we come up with a better name?

Sure. How about:

Oh, you mean for this game? No.

I liked it due to being a sign that the game would be the polar opposite of Shadoe the Hedgehog and SonicNEXT, and it was among the reasons I predicted the game would be good before most caught on. It tells you what the psychology or philosophy behind the game's designers is.

Sonic Colors is a perfectly cromulent name.

yo esse, let's do this

I am a nightmare walking, psychopath talking
king of my jungle just a gangster stalking
living life like a firecracker quick is my fuse
then dead as a deathpack the colors I choose
red or blue, Cuz or Blood, it just don't matter
sucker die for your life when my shotgun scatters
COLORS
we gangs of L.A. will never die
just multiply colors

you don't know me
fool
you disown me
cool
I don't need your assistance, social persistence
any problem I got I just put my fist in
COLORS
my life is violent but violent is life
peace is a dream, reality is a knife
my colors, my honor, my colors, my all
with my colors upon me one soldier stands tall
tell me what have you left me, what have I got
last night in cold blood my young brother got shot
my homeboy got jacked
my mother's on crack
my sister can't work cause her arms show trax
madness insanity live in profanity
then some punk claimin' they understandin' me
gimmie a break, what world do you live in
death is my sect, guess my religion

my pants are saggin', braided hair
suckers stare but I don't care
my game ain't knowledge, my game's fear
I've no remorse so squares beware
but my true mission is just revenge
you ain't in my sect, you ain't my friend
wear the wrong color, your life could end
homicide's my favorite venge colors

so I'll just walk like a giant police defiant
you'll say to stop but I'll say that I can't
COLORS
my gang's my family it's all that I have
I'm a star, on the wall is my autograph
you don't like it so you know where you can go
'cause the streets are my stage and terror's my show
psycho-analize tried diognosing me wise
it was a joke brother that brutally died
but it wasn't mine, so let me define
my territory don't cross the line
don't try to act crazy 'cause that s___ dont faze me
if you ran like a punk it wouldn't amaze me
'cause my colors' death
though we all want peace
but our war won't end
they'll always see

Well, okay, I only thought of the chorus but still.

Yeah, no. lulz at crappy butt-rock-rap or whatever that's supposed to be.

I don't know, I think the name is fairly important as far as sales-wise goes. At least where I work, as much as I try to suggest this game, it always gets overlooked by some other craptacular game, or Mario Wii. And it's always met with "Sonic... Colors?" That's kind of where the comic came from. Yes, it comes from the different colors of the aliens. A lot of consumers, unfortunately, aren't smart and won't bother to make that connection with the box art RIGHT IN THEIR FACE, and many will incorrectly disregard it as a more super kid friendlier - or just a game that's completely made for a younger audience - thus having less people playing it.

Which is sad, because I seriously want this game to sell. It's such a freakin' amazing game.

Clearly not enough of the target demographic knows enough about Physics and the Colour charge of quarks =

I effing love colors so I didn't care what the game was gonna be. I guess I would have liked even more colors.
