​@@Charriii5It's probably a whoosh for me to say this, but every time they do this it's because the level design fits the gameplay, not the story context. Since shadow plays identical to sonic they can put sonic in a shadow level without losing anything. idk it's not like he's never been there ever. Places like sky rail and radical highway still exist outside of sa2, meaning sonic could jog through them at any time off screen. The biolizard is dead tho, and sonic didn't kill it, I have no idea why he said he's fought it before. Also, unrelated, I'm surprised there was no sin for the muted result screen. It just plays the clear jingle and then it's... silent.

19:36 Someone with a modded Wii here. This is actually a very interesting bit of trivia: the Wii doesn't display a true 16:9 aspect ratio even if you set the console's setting to Widescreen. The Wii's maximum resolution outputs at 640x480 pixels, which (for a time) was passable but with widescreen displays becoming more readily available, they had to somehow program a letterbox resolution to be stretched in a non-distracting way. The method they chose is known as Anamorphic Widescreen, which in layman's terms means they zoom in a little so as to fit the extra vertical pixels and then stretch the image to fit the extra horizontal ones. This results in lesser video quality, but depending on the display and video cable(s) being used, you may not even notice it since all Wii titles have altered UX graphics to accommodate the resolution change. So, what does this all mean for Sonic Colors? Well, towards the Wii's phasing out, developers started shifting to developing for widescreen displays EXCLUSIVELY. Problem: the Wii can't display 16:9. Solution: make games in a crushed res, and have the Widescreen setting fill in the blanks. What Dimps grabbed was more than likely a direct screenshot from either a Sonic Team rep or (less likely) an emulator. TL;DR The Wii isn't a widescreen console, and the original Colors isn't a widescreen game. (Honestly, despite the bit-crushing, that might be the most accurate screengrab of the game from that era)

[@Charriii5]

Today I learned! That explains a lot of the weirdness of setting up Dolphin for certain games to display in Widescreen.

Also, about Classic Sonic being able to speak or not. I heard a rumor that originally Sega planned for Classic Sonic to have a voice actor, and that voice actor would be Jaleel White. Yes, the Jaleel White, who voiced Sonic in the DIC era of Sonic, at least in the cartoons he was in. He also voiced Sonic's siblings, Sonia and Manic, from Sonic Underground. However, this ended up scrapped way early on. The bad thing of all is that Sega will just rewrite history claiming that he can't talk both in canon and non-canon media. Also, they removed Sonic's voice lines from Sonic CD when it was ported to Sonic Origins. There's no "Yes!" everytime Sonic gets a 1-UP, and there's no "I'm outta here!" when Sonic stands idle for 3 minutes doing nothing, which is also stupid considering the source code for Origins's Sonic CD is from the 2011 mobile remaster by Christian Whitehead, which included those voice lines, there are even assets from the 2011 remaster that ended up unused like the 2011 screen and the remaster's manual of the game. There's even an unused animation of "I'm outta here!" in Sonic Mania, which suggests that Sega is gaslighting all of us that Classic Sonic can't speak.

Technically speaking, in Sonic Riders, Eggman doesn't really win in the end either, he literally says " I can't believe I wasted all that time for this... This hunk of junk" before passing out from pure anger since holding the Gran Prix cost more than most of the bots he's built.

[@castform7]

It definitely doesn't even qualify under Classic Eggman's definition of win *but* Modern Eggman did ask what that definition was so he likely sees something as a win. If the definition was "accomplish the goal you set", Riders, despite the reward for his hard efforts being some little nugget of Babylonian history he doesn't care about in the form of a carpet, is technically a game with a win since he did get the treasure of Babylon. Plus, Eggman's probably petty enough to take any little morsel of full victory he can get.

[@ChippTheFox]

@@castform7 I mean if we're going by that logic, eggman would easily have more wins. Just collecting the emeralds is a win, firing the laser that broke half the moon is a win, ect ect. They're not really wins.

[@castform7]

@@ChippTheFox Well then I have to ask what Eggman means by "that depends on your definition of win". Obviously Eggman has to consider something a win in order to ask for specification in the first place. Eggman, again is a pretty petty person. He has probably deluded himself into thinking all of those things you mentioned were wins in their own little way. Honestly, I'm surprised he didn't say yes to the question of beating Sonic because he has fully outsmarted him, trapped him and sent him to his eminent death twice. If the argument to that is Sonic didn't die either of those times and therefore aren't wins then I have to ask the same question Charriii did of why Classic Eggman even bothered asking in the first place.

[@ChippTheFox]

@@castform7 and you're not wrong, even in other games like unleashed. Capturing sonic and ruining his night life could also be considered a victory. Eggman does what Eggman wants I guess XD

[@KHloreExpert]

9:51 The Eggmans weren't erasing Sonic's stages from history, they were erasing points of space-time critical to Eggman's many failures. If Shadow never ran through Radical Highway at the start of Sonic Adventure 2, then he never would've had the encounter with Sonic immediately after where he showed and so inadvertently taught Sonic Chaos Control which later saved Sonic's life when Eggman jettisoned him from the ARK. This also provides a plausible reason for Shadow's presence in the void. Same logic for the Biolizard: Another Shadow stage, of course, but remove the Biolizard's defense of the ARK's core from space-time and so remove the obstacle preventing their override of the ARK's collision course as well as its transformation into Finalhazard resulting in a significantly more opportune scenario for Eggman.

[@DustD.Reaper]

Ofcourse it took some KH level story bending to make some sense of the inconsistancies...still doesnt explain Egg Emperor, which was Neo Metal posing as Eggman, being in the wrong era, not even Nomura like mental gymnastics can make this one make sense

[@KHloreExpert]

@@DustD.Reaper The Egg Dragoon in the console version doesn't make much sense either. It's not the same version of the machine as the "ultra-hyper Prototype-1" that belongs in that point of space-time. Plausible explanations are that these inconsistencies are due to the ever shifting timeline caused by these erasures like is the case for the console version's Stardust Speedway (Bad Future) and Crisis City or it could be the that the two Eggman bosses each version of the game has are the two Eggmans in charge of the Time Eater attacking Sonic with their best mechs and in some cases even better variants like the new and improved Death Egg Robot and the aforementioned Egg Dragoon. For the latter possibility the Time Eater abducting them immediately after their loss would be them retreating, in the former it would be the Time Eater erasing this new failure from the timestream for the same reason it's been targeting the rest. The Egg Emperor is one of his better creations, hence it's inclusion, which in the unaltered timeline Metal Sonic in its Neo form took advantage of while it had control of the Empire, but for either of the above reasons need not be piloted by the rebellious Neo Metal Sonic in this instance. The Egg Emperor's "era" is also only out of place in the meta sense, and even then only according to the division of levels in the console version of this game. From the meta perspective it's a timeline-linear "greatest hits" type game, in-story they could've put any powerful mech there and it would've been appropriate. Sonic Heroes is the first multiplatform Sonic game and the first released on a non-Sega console that wasn't a port/remake/collection. It had a different approach to story and gameplay than the preceding duology and it both released and takes place after Sonic Adventure 2 which featured the prior Generations 3DS boss, the Biolizard, so thematically there's nothing wrong with using it as the third boss.

11:21 my personal headcanon for sonic not talking is because something happened in his life that traumatized him to the point where he is basically mute, now there’s no serious in-game or any universe reason as far as we know, but still that’s kind of my personal thing.

I literally just picked this version up from my library lol. This is going to be a fun watch before I get into that game again!

[@juanca2567]

It all comes full circle ⭕️ (or ring 💍) as we get a version of the same game this series started with. The Shadow story from Sonic X Shadow Generation will definitely bring 3DS content because like you said, Radical Highway and the Biolizard is Shadow’s experiences.

[@rafaelpereiragomes1735]

It was only Radical Highway and the Biolizard. The rest of the 3DS version was forgotten in SXS Gens.

[@RammerHammer]

I actually said YEARS AGO right after the 3DS version released that it would have been awesome to have the HD version focus solely on the console Sonic games (Adventure, Adventure 2, Heroes, 06, Unleashed and Colours and the mandatory Green Hill) and have the 3DS version focus on handheld titles (Green Hill cause duh, then Advance 1 2 and 3, the Game Gear titles, Rush and Rush 2, and another Colours pick because that had a console and DS release) to fully encapsulate the storied history of the series and not have so much overlap in the levels and bosses so there's more of a concrete reason for both versions to exist.

[@AluminumFusion22]

That WAS the original plan, but it was tossed out for some reason. I remember hearing that SEGA contemplated getting Jaleel White to reprise his role as Classic Sonic but negotiations fell through.

please tell me you're doing Lost World 3DS too, I would love to see you tear that game a new one.

[@electromagneticpsychopath4973]

There's not really a difference in terms of cutscene or dialogue so I doubt it

[@rafaelpereiragomes1735]

As much as it would be refreshing to have an EWW LW 3DS video, most people seem to not understand how that game works properly. None of the zones take over 7 minutes. Most can be beaten in 2-5 minutes, and there are a few that can be beaten in less than that. I won't defend the tilt controls, but I do have to say those controls are not necessary on the Quake Wisp. You can beat all zones with it(except the Zor fight) without using any tilt controls and still get an S Rank.

[@castform7]

14:43 I would've been so down for a Sonic Generations that celebrates the handhelds' history especially since Water Palace. If we still are limited to the Classic's being the only ones with 3 different zones, I say we get a zone from Sonic 1 GG, Chaos and Triple Trouble for the classics, Advance 2 and 3 for the "Dreamcast Era" and Water Palace from Sonic Rush and Sweet Mountain from Sonic Colors DS. We would probably need some handheld bosses for these games and....I don't really know what real contenders we have there. What, are we bringing back Gigatomous Pen.

16:38 Yeah it makes it look like Eggman wearing a costume rather than Eggman controlling a mech that should be BIGGER than him

[@DjPrimeVideos]

If i remember correctly Eggman uses the Time Eater to alter events in time so that the outcome is different. So during the SA2 its likely that since Eggmans now knows about Shadows plan he preemptively gets rid of him forcing Sonic to go through the levels instead. Idk if its even possible to do it but thats what i think is going on.

[@rafaelpereiragomes1735]

That's an interesting theory. However, the problem is that Sonic never needed to go through Radical Highway to be able to access Final Rush and face off against Eggman. Sonic and Shadow go through different paths, but end up on the same destination, meaning backtracking to the start of another path feels unnecessary.

[@dragowolf268]

10:00 to be fair i am pretty sure the time eater just brings things from the past not exclusively sonic past its not like in frontiers where the specific say his memory

[@lavender317]

I genuinely love that this game tries to be its own thing, like other than Green Hill there's not a single similarly to the original game and i just think that's so cool

[@HedgehogY2K]

13:36 that entirely depends on how you play it. Have you ever taken the 30 second trial at Green Hill Zone and made it to the bridge, it took me hours to make a perfect run for 1214.4 points of distance, and I do recall 1 old video that managed to achieve a similar score only he didn't know you can extend the time by jumping. So long as you don't land you can absolutely keep going and rank to the top.

[@acesamm]

I don’t understand why Radical Highway being here is an issue. The Time Eater’s powers are never explained. Maybe they will be in the remaster, but even then, Radical Highway is also the level Shadow appears in, in the Rival Race. If it was Sonic Frontiers, I would understand since it had a bit of a theme of memories. Edit: Same with Biolizard! Huh???????

[@egateqa1351]

I’m just not gonna complain.

[@rafaelpereiragomes1735]

In both the 2011 HD original and the 3DS version, both versions of Tails explain that the Time Eater makes the Sonics travel through time and SPACE. That means that Sonic can go through spaces/areas/zones that exist in past(and apparently, the future, too, according to Sunset Heights and Chaos Island magically appearing in Shadow Generations.), even if he hasn't visited those. That also includes bosses he hasn't fought before, like the aforementioned Biolizard. That also explains Classic Sonic's versions of the classic zones being so different in level design in the HD version. He travels through space in Chemical Plant and Sky Sanctuary. In fact, if they were just traveling through time, it would be more like a Sonic CD type of deal where Sonic goes through the same zone, but in a different timeline with same, but modified space and different background. If they were only traveling through time in Generations, they would only go through Green Hill Zone, but with a different background. Chemical Plant isn't the bad future of Green Hill Zone, nor is Sky Sanctuary the Good Future of Green Hill Zone. They're all different spaces.

[@comicfan1324]

I will say, it is interesting how although both games more or less tackled the same idea their stories are slightly different. In the HD version, the majority of the sonic cast is pulled into white space while in this version the only characters who show up (apart from both Sonics and Tails) are the enemies from whatever time period they show up in. Although I prefer the HD version, I will say I do like how the generations version at least on paper could’ve been a bit more personal since there’s a smaller cast to work with (also you don’t have to question why silver and shadow are suddenly attacking sonic for no reason since you could just say the versions of them that show up or from the past when sonic was their enemy.) Although I agree with what you said in this video that it’s more of a celebration of sonics Legacy, if the majority of the cast shows up

In the HD versions of Sonic Generations, Classic Sonic can use the homing attack. However, you only unlock the homing attack skill set for Classic Sonic if you got all the red rings for Planet Wisp Act 1. Meaning, the homing attack is an optional skill set in the HD versions.
