Sonic Color Contrast is a modification of Sonic 1 in which South Island is drained of it's color and must be restored through color monitor each zone has a Hub world where all 3 acts are accessed. To get to the next zone Sonic must restore all color to the Hub and All 3 Acts of a Zone, then the next zone will become accessible. There are new power-ups added such as a Sheild that increases jump height, and a reset power-up which resets the level. This lets the player search for color monitors they may have missed, sonic has no new moves, same as Sonic 1, this means no Spindash. The game features an intro cutscene aswell.
