I like to call myself a new fan, as I became interested only after frontiers. As someone with limited experience, I think that, aside from some hypothetical of midway between the adventure and classic styles, boom has the best design for sonic. Translate their clothing into the main Canon, and they all look good except knuckles, who could still be put halfway

Im sonic fan since 2 y o

I had an xbox 360 but it stopped working and I had Sonic generations

Opinions on the scarf color? I've seen at least one person think it looks too muted

Honestly just if they make the arms bluen't it will be the best design

Man the Mario memorabilia on the shelves is so cool!

The Boom design is pretty badass in my opinion. It's also my favourite Sonic design

I think my only problem with it is the blue arms lol

sonic boom was a really good show i never got the game so dont know how that is but the show is great and funny.

Good for you, man. I personally love the sonic movie design because of them putting sonic’s mouth right in the middle of his muzzle. Makes him look cute or cool while at the same time making him look an unexperienced, fitting for his character. At least in my opinion.

and considering the games take place at least a couple weeks after the next game even though more likely a couple months after Sonic would more likely than not have enough time to heal so the bandage idea doesn’t make much sense

also The reason why boom sonic doesn’t work as a sonic design and why a lot of people dislike it which is justified is that sonic is really tall and sure that seems normal but unfortunately it doesn’t make any sense considering sonic is a hedgehog sure he’s a cartoon hedgehog but Who would make it quite difficult maybe even impossible to curl up into a ball if he was that tall and the same thing with the shoes where it comes to a point where the shoes look like sonic shoes into where they’re not it’s exactly why the soap shoes still have that band in a shaped like sonic shoes it wouldn’t make sense to play sonic design was completely different pair of shoes

Finally someone who agrees

Dude routines in 12. Everyone has their opinion but lost me there man. I fight w routines vignette backslide and navigating at the top. But that my opinion.

I'm not saying the stuff you assume I am, I do like the design. It's not my favourite, but it's definitely up there. Also that ending caught me off guard.

0:16 I remember those creepy video game stickers/tattoos 💀

My favorite thing about boom sonic is his proportions The regular 3d modern sonic has huge hands and a small body which makes poses with him look awkward, boom sonic is more taller and I think it works great

Same thing Boom was being pushed when I 1st became a Sonic fan so I just really like Sonic Boom to this day bc of nostalgia bias. 💀

For me, Sonic Prime is great, but I honestly do understand the flaws, and I’ll even admit that some of the flaws ruined some of my experience. Also, for me, Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog is ok. It’s honestly kind of mid and unfunny for me. The only good thing about it is the meme remixes. Sonic SATAM is great, I don’t know what you were talking about. Sonic X, I will kind of have to agree on that. It’s ok, but the dub is garbage and just made me hate the anime. Sonic Boom is the best Sonic show. I see that great minds think alike.🍷🗿

I agree with you. Boom Sonic has the best design. He looks so cool, and is way better than his classic and especially his modern design. The modern design felt bland and lacking, and somewhat ugly looking to me (since I did grow up with Sonic Boom as my introduction to the Sonic franchise, it did take a lot of getting used to when it comes to me first looking at the modern design.) It doesn’t help from the fact that it’s less expressive and not really that good, save for a few cutscenes and Sonic Unleashed. If you told me Modern or Classic Sonic had any other power that’s not super speed (like super strength), I would’ve believed you. Boom Sonic’s sports tape honestly gives him more personality and complements his long legs. I actually prefer long legs. The long legs makes him look like a runner. And the brown bandanna does look really cute on him. Maybe it’s just because I’m a sucker for scarfs and bandannas. It also gives more of a jungle sort of vibe when it comes to the bandanna. The extra small lil spikes look cute, it makes him look fluffy and adds a bit more to his edgy, personality (get it?) Him being tall and lanky also makes him look more expressive and fun. Also, blue arms >>>>> peach arms. Tails looks far better too, and although his design didn’t really change much in Boom, I do like the addition of the longer gloves and the goggles headset, he looks like an inventor (which he is). Knuckles actually does look very good in Sonic Boom. Sure, his proportions are weird (and I do personally like his weird proportions), but just like with Boom Sonic, it kind of fits his personality and strength. Only thing I would change is that I would give him a cowboy hat. Amy’s design in Boom is perfection. I love her dress, and her shoes looking like paws is just adorable. Shadow just looks the same with longer arms and legs. No comment. Boom Eggman? He might not look like an egg, but he’s a handsome egg. I also did notice a subtle thing about the Boom designs that I almost never noticed in the Modern. In the modern designs, they all look the same, with very few distinctions, and I still do think that the peach arms look ugly. Classic Sonic at least has an excuse because he looks adorable. Modern? Nope. With the Boom designs, everyone has given each different sports tape and designs for their personalities and their jobs. Sonic has sports tape in his forearms and shins because he is a runner, and because he often gets injured in these areas. The reason as to why he doesn’t wear it through his entire arms or legs is because he wants some movement to run while looking stylish and hiding his scars in the process. He wears the brown bandanna because he probably needed something to keep warm around his neck. The blue arms are probably a puberty thing. Tails wears sports tape on his shoes because he’s an inventor, and needs to buckle his shoes while flying. Knuckles has sports tape on his arms (as well as forearms and shins) is because since he uses super strength and is clumsy, he tends to get injured the most. Battle scars~) and just like Sonic, he also wants a comfortable way to run and fight. Amy only has sports tape on her arms because she needs a tighter grip for her to swing her hammer (and because sports tape on her legs feels weird to her.) Overall, I love the Boom designs and they look WAAAAYYYY better than the Modern designs. They are more expressive and fun, and just charming. Am I also speaking on nostalgia because I grew up with the Sonic Boom TV show when I was younger? Yes. Did I ever change my stance? No. Edit: wow, I did not mean to write an entire essay as to why I preferred the Boom designs… :0

Sonic boom fire and ice is good. Great now theres dominos pizza in my front door

no it isn't

Finally someone who’s CORRECT

I love his design

I feel like a lot of the hate boom sonic gets is less from hating the design itself and more because of the fact that the boom games range from decent to dumpster fires, and the one anyone actually knows about is the dumpster fire.

But the thumbnail clearly says the opposite.

W Game, L console

Great list! I think if you swapped Vignette and Navigating this would be very similar to mine!

My ranking: 1. Paladin Strait 2. Overcompensate 3. Backslide 4. Next Semester 5. Routines In The Night 6. Vignette 7. At The Risk Of Feeling Dumb 8. Midwest Indigo 9. The Craving 10. Navigating 11. Snap Back 12. Oldies Station 13. Lavish

I'm fine with the scarf and the extra headspikes. And I would be ok with the sports tape if it was a replacement for his gloves, and also not wrapped around his shoes, WHY DID THEY WRAP THEM AROUND HIS SHOES!?

Ima rip into the design but hopefully that isn’t just irishboys -Bandana is really bland being Brown which makes the design less vibrant -His height dosent make it believable he’s supposed to be 3,3 he’s atleast 5,0 which makes him going into a ball weird -the shoes are just knuckles are just knuckles except shiny square and boring with the sports tape not helping -The Sports tape are all where you can put long socks or slightly longer gloves and shouldn’t it be on parts that could get hurt like the Head, Knees or torso -a random watch that is ugly to the clearly rough design Everything else I don’t care for or I like (the spikes and blue arms)

Adventure Sonic or perhaps CD Sonic is the best design I'd say. But I wouldn't say Boom Sonic is that far behind.

I love the Boom design and yeah it's most likely nostalgia driven but I don't care he looks friggin cool!

Now me personally i love the boom Sonic design and in my opinion it should of been used in frontiers

Alright, listen, y'all! All Sonic Boom designs are great! And yes, this even includes Knuckles!

I like sonic boom design too. Altough there is definitely too much tape and i dont like bandana's color. Red would be more fitting.

That design represents everything wrong with Sonic in the 2010's, that's why I hate it.

His arms being blue doesn’t even matter, his arms were only tan so that they could be distinguishable with the rest of his body in the sprite art, it doesn’t really matter that much in a 3d environment

One thing I love about Boom is the emphasis on the "animal-ness" of the characters, especially on the villagers. He may still not look like a hedgehog, but he does look more animal-ish IMO. Especially on the 3DS, he looks a lot like a small animal (such as a squirrel or an actual hedgehog etc.) for the werid proportion of the model. Plus it fits well for a more slow paced game like ROL or for locations found in the same game and in the show. Yeah, it's not bad at all, just another take on the character. He may be taller, chiller and even more ironic than modern Sonic, but he's still totally recognisable as Sonic The Hedgehog. Same with the rest of the team, Eggman etc.

All hail Nah

My personal favorite part of the redesign is the smaller appendages. They seem like they'd be so much easier to work with and make poses read way better

honestly i agree with all of this but in my opinion i feel like boom sonics design feels like a sonic thats a little bit older because to me the extra tiny quills feel like on the boom design he grew them out over time and the model for boom sonic is noticeably taller

I think people are just salty bc sonic boom was a bad game, the design is solid but too bad it debuted in a mediocre game

There is stuff I love about the design, like the small extra spikes, the sports tape around his arms is neat, and I especially like the scarf, but I absolutely HATE the way his shoes look, and the fact that the tape goes around his shoes as well, like please Sonic just buy some new shoes, those are the cheapest looking sonic shoes I've seen.

Sonic prime who? Fk that, Sonic boom solos 🗣🔥

I can see where you're coming from tbh. Plus, the modern design is kinda ugly and we've been stuck with it for too long (and they never managed to make it look particularly good through animation either, except in like the opening cutscene of Unleashed). We're way overdue for another redesign if you ask me, and taking notes from Boom Sonic's expressiveness and proportions would go a long way to make it easier to work with than what we have now.

I mean it's alright but I wouldn't say it's the best design

i prefer 06 model, has the most rizz, (i have nostalgia bias too)

Great vid this version is my favorite, i wish his peach arms had a blue gradient so it looked like it connected to his body
