Description
Might as well upload this one now.You probably already saw it on youtube or Blip, but otherwise.
Tadah.
Game's fantastic, final boss sucks, story is meh.
And where's Toot Toot Sonic warrior? That song was practically Classic Sonic's main theme, it appeared in at least 4 games.
Okay, 3 of those were game gear games. I suppose those don't exist, derp derp.
Whaah, but I grew up on the game gear.
Some comments I got about the lists within the movie..
Yes, there are games where the chaos emeralds are not the solution to the story''s problem, but there's either a magical object that might as well have been a chaos emerald (Time stones, Secret rings, magical swords, you name it) or the game doesn't have a problem to be solved to begin with (Sonic's schoolhouse, Sega and all stars tennis, etcetera) so my point still stands.
Then there's the "These games aren't canon" argument.
heh, I didn't know Sonic had a canon bible like Star Trek.
Anyway, Smash bros and the Sega all stars and Mario and Sonic games are probably not canon, so sure.
However, a lot of other games are. So besides all the games directly appearing in Sonic generations, here's a list of games I'm pretty sure count as "Canon" as well:
Sonic Rush/rush adventure: Not only does Rush have a level in the 3DS game, Blaze directly mentions the red coins from the Rush series as well.
Sonic Rivals: Silver recognises Sonic.
Sonic the fighters: Sonic adventure is canon, and Tails's house and airplane strip comes directly from Sonic the fighters. Also Fang, Bark and Bean have a cameo.
Sonic Battle- Sonic advance 3- Sonic Chronicles: All three are interconnected trough Emerl. There's contuiity, so I count them as Canon. Plus Yuji Naka was closely involved with Sonic Battle. I believe that game had the same scenerio writer as Sonic adventure 2 as well.
Sonic arcade: Ray has a cameo
Sonic Riders: Jet has a cameo.
Shadow the hedgehog: Shadow's personality has changed a lot since Shadow's game.
Considering he finally found peace with his past in that game, I consider Shadow's behaviour in Sonic 2006 and on proof this game is canon as well.
So there. Only party games, and the game gear/master system games are shaky as far as contuity is concerned.
Now bring on the downloadable content Sega.
If Sonic unleashed can have over a dozen bonus levels, then this game certainly can. Booyah.

one error with the chaos emerald being useful part. They weren't in sonic 1
π: 0 β©: 1
They Were in Sonic 1. Need them for the good ending.

Even the Mario & Sonic series is less shaky than some of the spinoffs featuring only Sonic characters...
Anyway, Funniness!

Well, am just referring to their status as canon, not the quality of the games itself.

"hey sonic! there's a homing missile!"
must... kill... support characters...

Bravo! You managed to sum up that game and all it's plot holes so beautifully! OuO/

I really doubt that Sega will release another game in which there won't be at least one flaw.
π: 0 β©: 0
This was great! I loved the jokes of referring to Sonic's previous adventures and their various Deus Ex Machina. My favourite joke was actually the loading screen. Very funny!
Great stuff here, you comic timing only ever gets better and it was a real treat to watch. Kudos!

One thing that bothers me with Sonic these days was with the adventure series, they told a good serious story but keeping the humor and carefree feel of the series at the same time. Then in the modern games after the sonic 06 mess, they made everything feel more like a slapstick cartoon disregarding past character devolpment and plot. Hell I always found the over the top cartoonish NPC's in unleashed to be jarring.
I think, sega doesn't know anymore what it wants Sonic to be.
π: 0 β©: 1
Heh, the cartoonish npc's at least fit better then the ultra realistic adventure ones.
Kinda confused why there's no Anthro npc's other then the pinguin icebear thingies from rush adventure or echidna tribememebers from adventure, but ah well.

"Just stand there and cheer me on!"
Sonics ego is always amusing.

ja ze doen tegenwoordig steeds dingen die ze al tig keer gedaan hebben met sonic spellen

I think this means that if Crush 40 Sang a song for it (at least as far as the 3D ones go) it's canon
Awesome flash!
π: 0 β©: 1
Quite so.
Only the spiritual ministrels of the great Crush 40 can tell the true story of our lord and prophet Sonic the hedgehog.
Amen.

Absolutely brilliant. Loved every bit, specially the recap moments and SonicΒ΄s immense ego at the end. Kinda sad that itΒ΄s the fans who want to make the other characters just sit back and do nothing.

Problem is that Sonic games wants to be both about BIG ACTION HERO Sonic, like an arnold swarzenegger movie, AND want Sonic to have a huge cast for him to interact with, like a Final fantasy game.
it tries to be both and thus fails at both.
Sonic either needs to be alone with just one side kick, or you need to put him in an actual team and let the rest of the cast have their moments.
Either situation happens very rarely, especially the second.
Sonic games kinda remind me of Mission Impossible 2, it acts like it's about a team with lot's of side characters, but the ego of the main star pulls the entire gravity of the story towards him.
Sonic Chronicles and adventure 1 and 2 are the only ones that actually feel like Team stories.
π: 0 β©: 1
I agree but then again my point is that SonicΒ΄s ego comes from the fact that people want it to be about Sonic only, immediately murdering anything with the sidekicks in. Ironically, said people tend to be the same ones who forgive things like Retro Studios axing the entire DK cast minus five characters because gameplay is the most important thing. Double standards and stuff...
Anyway, IΒ΄m with you on this one: Few Sonic games feel like actual team stories. IΒ΄d add Heroes to your list because, as cheesy as it is, everyone gets to do something.
π: 0 β©: 1
I suppose Heroes counts, altough Heroes has too little story to make an impact.
It feels to me that all the stories is like
Team Leader: We must do this Thing (Does that thing.) Yay. (end credits)
Well, only Team Rose and Chaotix anyway, since Team Dark and Sonic don't even have any motivation at all in the game.
Well, Team Dark wants to stop Eggman I guess, except they get distracted by Metal sonic and then completely forget about their own mission. Derp.
But it's nice every team get's to defeat a bit of the final boss yeah, even tough they're still on the sidelines cheering during the final segment.
π: 0 β©: 0
oh.. so that's why there is that big space of nothing between the last boss and the final boss.
for the DLC levels. Hooray!

Hi there
Heh, nice to see it now up on DA for people see rather going to silly old Youtube XD Once again, great job Roger!
Euan

I believe Chronicles and Chaotix aren't canon, with the latter being said so as we're told to imagine Heroes as their real debut (And nobody really played on the 32X, so it's no big deal~) Game Gear games might count, but their story is shaky, yeah. (And Spinball might be more of the American Sonic continuity a little)
Again, great short. Love watching the Sky Patrol scene most. Sonic's ego and my painful memories of that game makes it all the funnier!

It's too bad the game gear games might not be canon, they're the only ones actually Trying to establish a backstory.
Especialy Tails adventure and all. Sonic and Tails daily life was usually kinda mentioned in the manuals. In the big Sonic games it's always "Oh no giant space thingy attacking! Go Sonic! Wheeee"
π: 0 β©: 1
True. Sonic 1 is supposed to be the same as the Mega Drive game, only Sonic takes different routes instead. Sonic 2 might be after S3&K? Otherwise, each Game Gear game feels like "Another day following the days of Sonic & Tails" or something. At least elements of the game still continue in later instalments, one way or the other.

the music was much better on the game gear tough, I love Labyrinth zone from Game gear Sonic, while the music from the megadrive one is meh.
π: 0 β©: 0
Heh. Sonic got a very big ego.
He got alot of friends but won't allow them a moment in the spotlight. Poor his friends. i rather want to be Mario's friend than sonic. at least i can get my own game. the chance for that is bigger than if you were sonic's friend. xD

Well if you think about it, the side characters' games ended up with more side characters...or enemies Like how soon as Knuckles gets his own game--wait who are these three? And why don't they count Mighty as one of the Chaotix anymore? And now any time they need an organic enemy, they use the monsters from Shadow the Hedgehog
π: 0 β©: 1
Sega isn't even trying anymore. :C
π: 0 β©: 0
Huh, your right, every major side character of Mario had has his/ her own game... From Yoshi to Bowser to Peach.
Only Toad hasn't had his own game yet, I think.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah.. but who wants to be the boring Toad? He wasn't even good in Supermario bros 2.
π: 0 β©: 1
well, he could pick things up the quickest in Mario 2, I guess..
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah. i remember that. but the worst jumper you could have.. and boy there were alot of jumping around.
π: 0 β©: 1
He DID have is own game called Wario's Woods.
π: 0 β©: 1
ok? we are talking about Toad. not wario. Did toad have his own game?
