Sonic Galactic - A Superb SEGA Saturn Styled Sonic Fan Game (All 5 Levels, Bosses & 3D Bonus Levels)

[@AlphaBetaGamer]

Big thanks to hildamarston for the heads-up about the new Sonic Galactic build dropping. Last time I covered it was 4 years ago and it's come along very nicely since then. The levels are huge and filled with different routes, and it's probably the best looking 2D Sonic game I've ever seen (Sonic Overture's the only one that comes close).

[@hildamarston4077]

Eyyyy you mentioned me!

[@vasylyiverizhnikov4286]

Don't forget S&K Newtrogic Panic, I discovered it only thanks to your channel as well actually, it got my mind blown and made me so excited to see it finished, I think it's another 2D Sonic fan game that deserves its place among the best ones along with Sonic Overture and now this Sonic Galactic one. Although it's been a pretty long time without any updates from Newtrogic Panic team, I hope this project won't get canceled.

[@Red_Fr0st]

Imo sonic and the Fallen Star looks better

[@GzegzolkaDA]

​@Red_Fr0st it looks different, got different art style and gameplay is more oriented about speed parts than platforming. Both are great fan games. It all depends what You like the most. In my humble opinion Aural, Legends and Overture are top tier too. Triple Trouble, Chaos, Uprising are worth checking too. And there are stuff like Nexus and Retro,old,less sparkling but level design is good too.

[@hildamarston4077]

@GzegzolkaDA for me Galactic is everything Sonic Superstars should've been. better level design that can be long, but it manages to better because of how marvelous the levels are made, bosses that don't take 10 minutes to beat, an actually interesting storyline that flows naturally and makes sense, a new playable character that fits with the gameplay and story perfectly unlike Trip who felt underwhelming due to how hard her story mode plays out, a more consistent soundtrack that doesn't just change into weird anticlimactic 16 bits tunes, and a more fun multiplayer that kinda looks ambitious for this kind of project to be. Galactic is my new most anticipated Sonic fangame ever, goodbye Moon Facility, hello Sonic Galactic. Oh and the fact that this story takes place after Triple Trouble is something i adore alot

[@InkerRopes]

Even if it’s a fan-zone, Luminoucity is probably my one of my favorite Sonic zones. I just liked the idea of 2D Sonic running around a city, jumping on top of houses and things like that. And the fact that it ends with a stage fight where the audience characters actually react to what’s going on just feels perfect to me.

[@Siedrick-sg7ht]

Arguably competitive with Studiopolis. Maybe even better by an edge.

[@christopherchasteen4990]

I also saw cameos in the boss fight. Ristar, NIGHTs, and Sparkster were among the audience members! ...As well as a few Eggrobos.

[@uzomaiwuagwu535]

Every once in a while I get reminded how much of a blessing is the fact that SEGA are not like Nintendo

[@douglasmiguel3539]

Well...At Least Nintendo is way more consistent on bringing good games to their franchises. Unlike SEGA That Give us some Awful bullcrap like: "Sonic '06', Sonic Forces, Sonic Superstars and...ugh...Sonic Boom Rise Of Lyric. If Nintendo was more Supportive to their fanbases, they would be Perfect.

[@MoogMonster554]

​@@douglasmiguel3539 People always try to kick Sega for their failures with the 3D Sonic games, but Nintendo always plays it safe while Sega are more willing to take risks. Yes they have misses, but they also have Yakuza, Persona, Sega Rally, Shenmue, Shin Megami Tensei, Total War, Bayonetta, Jet Set Radio, Nights, Phantasy Star, Streets of Rage, Virtua Cop, Virtua Fighter, Virtua Racing, Daytona USA, OutRun, Panzer Dragoon, Sonic Mania, Unicorn Overlord, Granblue Fantasy, Football Manager, Disgaea, and Rez. Sega games are always less polished than Nintendo's, largely because of their arcade roots, but they're still one of the best publisher/developers around. AND they are supportive of their fans.

[@AutoYeah]

​@@douglasmiguel3539wait Sonic Superstars is considered awful bullcrap? That's one of my favorites Sonic games. 😢

[@douglasmiguel3539]

@MoogMonster554 games that are from studios that were bought by sega really counts? Shin Megami Tensei is from Atlus Since the SNES era and Bayonetta is from Platinum Games. Those games are great, but i mean sega by herself most of time don't plan very well his games. Sonic '06' were released unfinished and with most WTF Story in sonic universe. Sonic Superstars is such a Lazy And Mediocre game and the "risk into something new" argument don't count because the perfect model(AKA Sonic generations) for sonic superstars was already over 10 years old and it was a great game with a great 2d Sonic gameplay. Sonic forces forced himself into such dark vibe of war and despair, but the story is tedious, infinite is OVERRATED AS F, gameplay is generic, boring and it has NOTHING of really new to see except the OC weapons that were not so good to play with. Anyway...sonic has a LOT of Great games, but sega honestly sometimes betray us promising us good quality games.

[@MoogMonster554]

​@@douglasmiguel3539 I agree Sega does release bad games sometimes, especially in regards to Sonic. But did you see what Nintendo released in 2024? Princess Peach Showtime? Mario & Luigi: Brothership? Super Mario Party Jamboree?

[@AyaneOfDeath]

Sega should take a look at this, I think this as an downloadable could have the same potential as mania a few years ago.

[@-castradomis-1773]

And Mania was helmed by a guy that got his start making fan games. They need to hire more of these fan game guys. They will bring Sonic back to side-scrolling royalty.

[@Lanoman123]

Coral Garden might just be one of the most creative zones I’ve ever seen, what a vibe in art direction, gimmicks, and level design

[@roadhoundd.]

It’s a water level that doesn’t suck. Great quality of life giving bubbles on the run.

[@GzegzolkaDA]

If You play as Knuckles second level of that zone will have different routes and cut scenes

[@MichaelJohnson-ny6zs]

Its a cool level but it is waaaaaay too long.

[@FelixMuk]

Along with Chemical Plant Zone & Hydrocity, these stages are the 2nd stages, high speed & have water.

[@MuseHijinks]

Just like Hydrocity in sonic 3 and k and mania, it makes the water gimmick not suck. Good level design for sure.

[@der_Alptraum]

How come we keep getting beautifully designed Sonic fan games in 2025? It's incredible!

[@AlphaBetaGamer]

It's a wonderful way to start the year! :)

[@_rage_quitter_11]

Hey ​@@AlphaBetaGamer this game is solely made by fans right? Unlike Mania which also includes devs from the sonic team.

[@nickbritto1511]

Freedom Planet also started as a Sonic fan game, but then bramched off into its own IP with a sequel.

[@alxxz]

Because it's a beautiful series that still inspires and intrigues the imagination of lot of people around the world to make awesome stuff like this! Sonic Mania started like this as well.

[@ViralZen]

The music is insane. I'd argue it's the best among the 2D sonic games I've ever heard. Been following this game for years now.

[@RPGuillem]

Music is so well made! Perfectly captures the Jazz/Funk Fusion essence that I've always loved from the original. Marvelous work!

[@Axokoolaid]

I freaking love sonic fan games because they bring us stuff that we wouldn’t normally experience from Sega because fan games actually go off track from being normal games.

[@NightmarisHare]

Facts

[@staticplays1871]

To be fair they don't have the pressure of appealing to new and old since they mostly target niches. But it is good to see new ideas.

[@saddemon3913]

I also don't understand why Sega just can't continue retro stuff, they could do same and we couldn't wait for full games to be finished in years, but they trying into 3d and push limits they barely can reach... Like they tried with Superstars... Idea was good but use of it is so bad, especially bosses, and final boss is annoying mess

[@Axokoolaid]

@ screw it, I’m gonna take a break from my main project and try to make a Sonic fangame

[@InkerRopes]

Man, fan games like these make me wish that Sega would do something like Sonic Galactic, Overture, or Fallen Star and just…do something big with classic sonic.

[@Servbot31]

I like that those fan games do not just fall in the same trap as Sonic Mania, remixing levels and gimmicks we love, but creating new ones that keep the same level of fun! Was particularly surprised at Coral Garden, it's so beautiful and full of creative ideas!

[@AlphaBetaGamer]

Here's a little plot synopsis if anyone's interested: Illusion Island, a mysterious island that is set to appear once every decade in Sonic's world. Many eons ago, it was rumored to have a meteorite of extreme power crash into the island, bringing the force of a mysterious essence. Outside of that, its origins are a mystery, and no one is certain of its existence. Most of the island's mysteries lie down to its nature; from the different kinds of fauna never seen anywhere else, to even its surrounding water holding a different reflection of what is actually present. Due to its mysteriously rare appearance, the island went largely undocumented, and it would remain that way for a while. It would have stayed this way, until a certain Egg-shaped menace would choose to unravel the mysteries, and disturb the peace! After the destruction of the Death Egg in Sonic 3 & Knuckles, as well as the Atomic Destroyer in Sonic Triple Trouble, Sonic, Tails and Knuckles celebrated their victory! Seeing as there would not be much for them to do, they all went their ways for an extended break, to relax. However, Dr Eggman's schemes were far from finished. In the desperate searches of looking for a way to restore his practically destroyed army, his energy scanner picked up a mysterious power signature never seen before, coming from a location quite far from his base. A location of mystery; where the legendary Illusion Island was said to appear once every decade. Searching through his archives and books, while lacking information, Eggman had discovered that a meteor was said to have crashed there many eons ago. Also hearing that the meteor had contained tons of energy with mysterious force, the potential of utilizing such a tool would be great. Eggman eventually took off to check it out for himself. Looking unto the meteor and its power, it was far beyond anything he had encountered before... and just what he needed to rebuild his army. Allowing him to build things twice as fast as he could ever with normal tools, just as efficiently and strong, Eggman had realized he found himself the greatest treasure yet! By this time, Sonic was becoming increasingly suspicious of Eggman's apparent disappearance. It wasn't until rumors of Illusion Island's reappearance and strange activity reached him that he knew that eggy-fellow was up to no good! Sonic and his crew immediately left their break to see what Eggman was truly up to. They wouldn't know it until arrival, but they would have help to this task by a character who had spent his life on the island, and felt something wasn't right with Eggman's influence taking over slowly. Only the seven Galactic Gems scattered mysteriously across the island are capable of nullifying the Doctor's strong and seemingly unlimited power source. Sonic and co. must collect them to take a stand to Eggman's plans. Without them, Eggman's army of badniks will once again expand and threaten the entire world.

[@Freyafanboy90]

Tunnel looks like a fun character to play. Also loved how there were other Characters in the crowd in the final battle. Like Sparkster and Ristar

[@SteamedToast]

This is crazy impressive! So many great sequences and cool new mechanics. I love the wall spin that lets you recover from missed jumps, and the whole stadium sequence was really well done - beautifully animated, well designed boss battle, and the crowd cameos were cute. There's a few little bits that could use polish but that doesn't take away from how well done the vast majority of this is! Feels very authentic and would have made a fun Saturn entry.

[@no-one3795]

Holy! This is up there with the official stuff! 🤩

[@BoogieBrando]

Mate its ABOVE the official stuff!

[@VanguardSupreme]

Well, it’s leagues ahead of Sonic Superstars already, that’s for sure.

[@Isatino]

That City level is phenomenal. The music, the sprite work, the background and level design, Turbo, and the stadium with the Sega and other characters with the added guitar riff after completing the level! It just oozes in charm. My only gripe is the mid boss taking extremely long to expose its weakpoint.

[@Usorth]

This is the Sonic 4 we were all expecting in 1996.

[@snakey888]

In 1996 people expected Sonic to go 3D. A 2d game would be a massive disappointment and would suggest that Sega is unable to compete with nintendo or sony, both of which had 3d platformers for their systems.

[@Usorth]

@@snakey888 It's true that everyone was hyped about "3-D", but I would've been totally ok with a game like Galactic as Sonic 4, with 2D levels and 3D special stages. There were a lot of great 2D games for the Saturn, and other 32 bit consoles at the time. But you're right, 3D was the aim at the time, unfortunately for Sonic...

[@snakey888]

@@Usorth To be fair, I think Sonic was one of the better suited 2d series to go 3d. The levels were already very vertical and even one of its core designers, Yasuhara, was thinking in terms of 3d when making the 2d Sonic games.

[@Dionisos21]

No, en 1996 everyone wanted a 3D Sonic.

[@pauldavis5665]

Now we want it, yeah. But at the time 3D gaming was an exciting new thing, and people were kind of sick of 2D platformers since that is all they have been playing for years and years. Gamers wanted a new experience.

[@SuperLlama42]

That's a lot of confidence in your game to have the third level be "What if Labyrinth Zone but not shit?"

And i love how it doubles down on the "water levels are hell" thing by throwing Sonic not in some sunken location but straight up in the *open ocean*

[@andrekaminski5596]

It's incredible how much Sonic fandom and fan game designers understand more about a great Sonic game than the creators or Sega themselves. Graphics, sprites, level design, creative new features, characters and, OMG, the music. Who is the composer? It's the best Sonic music that sounds like Sonic music than anything composed by Sega in the last 30 years.

[@MikeLaRock88]

This is extremely well done, especially for us older people who grew up with the original games. The music, sounds, level designs are all nostalgic but fresh

[@coyotecom]

Weird thing to get hung up on with so much great stuff going on, but I loved the "column transitions" I saw in some parts where you'd see a route in the background, and Sonic ran behind a column that blocked the screen, and then would be leaving through that exit. Very creative use of the landscape and background elements to give the world a but if dynamics besides "Run right"

As someone who grew up with the originals on Genesis, this is definitely a knowledgeable throwback that understands what makes classic Sonic so great and fun to play, whilst adding a few nice touches here and there (like the rings not disappearing so quickly when you lose them, that was a very nice touch!). A real shame Sega and Sonic Team couldn't give Sonic the same legacy Mario has after the Dreamcast, but at least we got _Sonic Mania_ from them, and fan games like this one.

[@douglasmiguel3539]

coral garden is perfectly well planned in level design. One thing that bothers me a lot about classic sonic games is that the game wants to force you to go slowly since the game is about a character whose power is super speed, but stages that encourage high speed without sacrificing the quality of the level design. Hydro City and Coral Garden are two examples of water stages that are excellent considering that water stages are generally hated in any game.
