How to play Sonic Color Contrast on Mac
Game summary
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.

Play Sonic Color Contrast on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Sonic Color Contrast on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.
Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.
Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).
