SEGA’s Facebook page has teased a new image from the upcoming Wii U and 3DS title Sonic Lost World. Accompanying the photo of six new characters is “Six will rise from the Lost World. Are they friends or foes? Find out on May 29th”. Could these be the guardians of the lost world? The six characters fit in with the standard number of zones found in most Sonic games, with six plus a final zone. Could each character represent an action stage, and introduce a new gameplay mechanic not unlike the wisps in Sonic Colors? So much to speculate until May 29th!
Speculate away in the dedicated Sonic Lost World topic over in the SEGAbits forums!

I hope those are the bosses. And I may be in the minority but I didn’t like the addition of Whisps. I felt it slowdown the gameplay too much.
Nah. You are not alone. This was especially aparant when the surprise wore off. After I finished the game it did become an anoyance rather than a valuable addition
Let’s see….
Starting from the left is a short girl with a whip I think? Next is I’m guessing a skinny goat. After that is some wise kung-fu hermit on a cane. In the middle is what looks like the bull the ghosts formed in “Night of the Werehog”. Maybe the ghosts return? Next…I dunno but it looks like a powerhouse. The last one, I dunno. Looks like it killed a dolphin and wore it on his head.
The first one looks more like a tail, but a whip is probably better suited for Rule 34 artists.
You’re right. I see the tail now.
The contents of the “planet” in the image are easier for me to see now.
There are going to be six worlds, and I think a “boss” character or whatever these “new characters” are will correspond to each one of them. The worlds are:
A forest one
A world with volcanoes and lava
A desert one
An icy world
A world of oceans and islands
There’s a sixth world on the left, but I don’t understand what it is
They all look to be the same species, like Wisps, but with very different body types and features. The similar elements are the tails, the horns/spikes and the spike jewelry.
They could be dragons, or an ancient race that pre-dates Sonic and his friends.
I think they are demons.
