Powers and abilities
The Blue Wisps are able to levitate in midair at will, which serves as their main method of transportation.
The Blue Wisps are able to generate and store their own unique variant of a powerful energy known as Hyper-go-on inside their own bodies, which is their life source. It is unclear to what extent they can use their own Hyper-go-on, though they have been shown being able to use it to revert Nega-Wisps back to normal, teleport objects and restrain black holes made of Hyper-go-on.
The Blue Wisps are able to pass on a fraction of their Hyper-go by phasing into the recipient. When organic beings or robots receive their Hyper-go-on, they can transform into the Blue Cube which can swap Blue Rings and Blue Blocks or release volatile vibrations. Alternatively, the Blue Wisps are able to manifest the Blue Cube form themselves without phasing into a recipient.
Game appearances
Sonic Colors
In the Wii version of Sonic Colors, and its enhanced remaster Sonic Colors: Ultimate, the Blue Wisps make an appearance. When their homeworld was moved to earth by Dr. Eggman in order to create his Egg Planet Park, the Blue Wisps and the rest of their race were threatened to be enslaved by the doctor, who wanted their Hyper-go-on to control the minds of everyone on earth using a weapon. Fortunately, the Blue Wisps and the rest of their race were all saved thanks to Sonic the Hedgehog. After Egg Planet Park imploded into a black hole, the Blue Wisps worked together with the rest of their race to stop the black hole and succeeded, before returning their homeworlds to their original places in Sonic's universe.
In Team Sonic Racing, the Blue Wisps appear as Item Box power-ups on the game's race tracks. On a few occasions, the player is able to obtain and hold up to three Blue Wisps at once. In gameplay, the Blue Wisp power-ups allow the user to put down a Blue Cube for other racers to collide with or block off areas, similar to the Blowfish.
In Sonic Dash, as a promotion for the release of Sonic Colors: Ultimate, the Blue Wisp appears as one of four Wisps that the player can collect every day in order to win extra rewards.
Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games
In Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games, the Blue Wisp makes an appearance during the Dream Event "Sonic's Figure Skating Spectacular". Here, a Blue Wisp is one of the Wisps that the four participating characters free from a Wisp Capsule as the player(s) proceed down the event's course. When the player then has to defeat the Rotatatron, the Blue Wisp will appear alongside several others Wisps and join up with the four characters to perform the Final Color Blaster, which deals the final blow on the Rotatatron.
In the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics, the Blue Wisps were a breed of Wisps. Once, some of these were chased by Orbot, Cubot and a pack of Egg Pawns. Fortunately, Sonic arrived and destroyed the Egg Pawns in a flash, thus sending Orbot and Cubot running, though with some Blue Wisps of their own. A Blue Wisp then joined the hedgehog, Tails, Yacker and some other Wisps in an adventure to save the Wisps from Dr. Eggman.
In the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by IDW Publishing, the Blue Wisps are aliens from Planet Wisp. Their pasts are virtually identical to their game counterparts', up until after the events of Sonic Forces. Much like in the games, some of them have settled down on Sonic's world where they help out the planet's inhabitants from time to time.
Trivia
The Blue Wisps' high intelligence may allude to how the player must apply strategy when using the Blue Cube, as using the Blue Wisps' Color Power allows the player to create their own platforms and paths with Blue Blocks and Blue Rings. At the same time, using the Blue Wisps' Color Power recklessly could be troublesome for the player, such as the player falling through a platform of Blue Blocks turned into Blue Rings by accidently using the Blue Cube.
