5:22 love how the programmers are just like “Yeah this is just straight up taken from mario

[@hype5456]

They did say colors was made to also appeal to Mario fans after the success of the Mario and Sonic crossover

[@aortaplatinum]

Holy shit, Blind Squirrel dropped the BALL on those development tools being left in. Like I'm glad they did so we can use em but I can't imagine how hard the studio's probably been blacklisted by SEGA at this point.

[@SparkzEnt]

I mean.... Same developer as the disastrous Switch port of one of the WWE 2Ks, though I will give them a bit of slack seeing that sometimes the publisher calls the shots and sometimes don't even care they are putting out a buggy product until it's too late and the damage has been done (one example being Grove Street being at the mercy of Take Two/Rockstar for the GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition)

[@Bendytube72]

I mean... Sega honestly deserves it. They're dicks.

[@LasagaMan]

@@SparkzEnt they were also responsible for the port of the first borderlands game for the PS4, alongside porting The Sims 4 to consoles, helping making and porting Sunset Overdrive to the PC, making the Bioshock collection, and helping with the Mass Effect remasters, so it's a whole lot more on SEGA doing a SEGA and fucking them over

[@zawn8221]

Love the chain of Nega said during that cut conversation lol

[@aortaplatinum]

"Aw nega don't hate me cause I'm AMAZING, maybe if you got rid of that ol FRENZY ass haircut you could get some VOID on ya ROCKET, better yet maybe Yacker would stop HOVER with that Baldy Nosehair and call yo CUBE ass, NEGA~"

[@omegazjay]

Eggman was cutting it close with that first mention of it

[@JoseAlberto-dh8pf]

There's information you left of the game's development history such as: Colors Ultimate original 2020 release date, reason for it's delay to 2021, COVID-19 and Blind Squirrel poor employee reviews. How the success of Mario and Sonic at the Olympics games 2008 and the opinions of Classic Sonic fans and the gaming press from the mid 2000's of the "dark era" influenced the direction of Sonic Colors as a whole, story tone, level design similar to Super Mario, the setting of Egg Planet Park being created due to Sonic Unleashed already having Sonic travel to the world and Sonic Team wanting to go back to create more surrealist levels like in Classic Sonic and the Advance games.

[@imperialny2739]

Hi, I just noticed you used my footage, and I have to say, I'm flattered.

[@onthedre]

I really wish they kept the "Power UP!" sound effect. It sounds nice and has great energy.

[@pvzmariosonica8fan]

I actually have a copy of the Wii version where the "preform" and "Mega-Wisp" typos are fixed. However, my copy's instruction manual has a different typo: in the Cyan Laser section, where it shows the picture of the prisms and optical cables, the following is stated: "When Sonic is transforms into the Cyan Laser, be sure to look for prisms (left) and optical cables (right). Shoot at them and see what happens!" Strangely the previous occurrence of these two sentences doesn't have this typo

[@teaoftraffic]

IS TRANSFORMS

[@GMDTheOnyxGuyEizzX]

I like how most Sonic fans are just calling cut content videos as "Bonus Videos" after Cybershell's ones.

[@KingTvlip]

I'm here since the Sonic Unleashed video, and I have to say, the improvement seen since then is immense. You're possibly the best Sonic Archivist on YT at the moment. Godspeed!

[@Cifesk]

Thank you brother

[@fastesthedgehog]

No way the super underrated guy uploaded jokes aside,you deserve way more recognition

[@SaddieMoon]

28:56 Don’t forget that in an add/earlier footage for the game, featured a fan render for Metal Sonic.

[@Dio-zr7ww]

I couldn't ask for a better time for you to upload another long video, thank you Cifesk.

[@starboy3741]

I always love these bonus videos I love learning about cut content on my favorite games

[@zekromfan1]

You have no idea how happy I am seeing you post a video and then looking at the time. You are one of my favorite video creators in the platform so it’s always nice when you do upload, knowing how much time and effort you put in, it really shows. And having both you and Mawde Wile post videos back to back is one hell of a nice surprise gift. If you haven’t checked out his channel yet, I highly recommend it, he puts a lot of work into his videos but doesn’t get anywhere near enough views. His videos on the neat things in Sonic and the Black Knight is one of my favorites, he’s also one of only a select handful of people who does challenge videos on the modern titles. Speaking of Black Knight, I hope one day you’ll cover both of the Storybook Games. Looking through what’s left in the files, and what was reused in other games, it’s honestly rather surprising but cool none the less. And a Lost World video would be nice too, that game is a treasure trove of unused content. Especially the Steam re-release, speaking of which can anyone tell me why they didn’t just port it to all modern systems at the time? The work was already done seeing as they ported it to PC. I mean it’s Lost World at the end of the day, but it would still be nice to have more people actually play it, then they can join us in disliking the Deadly Six… Isn’t it just Zavok at this point? Please for the love of god SEGA quit trying to make him a thing, he’ll never be a thing. Anyway thanks for the video, can’t wait to see what’s next. Just wanted to let you know that your hard work is appreciated and is noticed.

[@Cifesk]

[@thecow13]

How are more people not subbed to you? Your videos are amazing keep up the good work

[@pvzmariosonica8fan]

1:04:06 This applies to Rocket and Hover as well, along with Drill's normal theme

[@JonyPlayz1]

Interesting video! This is a lot of info 👀The dialogues are pretty cool

[@gengargamer5657]

Ayy, it’s been a long time! (Also, really glad you covered both the Wii and Ultimate versions, though it sucks that you left out the DS version)

[@PokechiYT]

OH YO! I remember that Sonic action figure! I also remember one of my siblings breaking it because they didn’t like that it was mine

[@drgabi18]

The bilking animation could just be an animation layer, systems can overlap animation one over other.

[@Terminal_Apotos]

Sonic Colors is so Good, my Favorite Sonic Game.

[@zekromfan1]

Hey wait, something I just noticed I don’t know if you picked up or not… The Wisp’s prototype name was “Pixy?” Like a fairy? Doesn’t that mean they were radically different in development? I mean for instance the Yellow Drill Wisp’s name in the beta was “Spin Pixy” so had things gone a bit differently we would have Pixys instead of Wisps. I can’t decide which name is better, Pixy sounds more magical, while Wisp just makes me think of ghosts, nothing to do with space aliens. Forgive my tangent, but there is also the possibility that at one point in development, the Wisps/Pixys were more ghostly considering the way the White Wisps look. I can’t help but wonder if it was something they carried over after the change was decided on. Keep in mind Colors was being worked on around the same time as Unleashed’s DLC and it’s OVA “Night of the Werehog” were finishing up production. Ghosts were definitely something that the art team were thinking about. It could have been a slight nod, or it may have been entirely unintentional. It’s just so oddly specific, and I’ve never seen anyone bring it up before. Now I’m curious, I might just have to do a bit of digging to see if there is anything in an art book or interview that mentions the Wisps development and the reasoning behind their final designs and name.

[@Ninjago-News]

That tumbnail gives me frontiers vibes.

[@pvzmariosonica8fan]

For the Starlight Carnival thing, this was the case in the Wii version, but version 3.0 of Ultimate fixed this by having Act 4 use Act 3's music when the toggle is set to just the remixes

[@thecreativeambition9365]

I find the sample text here at 57:07 to be absolutely adorable. I like how it plays on "The quick brown fox..." phrase.

[@BricksterMan]

A video about a game i realy like. Thanks Cifesk!

[@nightlydata2181]

As this was my 1st ever Sonic game it's really cool to C stuff I both did & didn't know bout the game. The blind squirrel stuff in particular was jus weird but I'll chop part of it up to bein rushed ofc. We got some cool stuff to mess wit out of the mistakes tho lol(only sonic would have this happen lmao). My dream would be a version of colors that had the OG structure/level design before it got unnecessarily chopped up but ig that's not happenin anytime soon. Ultimate hurts me on a core level. Tho I will say the WILDEST thing were those unused audio files for me. I like the Wisps more than most but HOLY HELL ABOVE CHAOS EMERALD LEVEL IS BEYOND SOMETHIN! A lot of it explains the differences in the DS version & how there R minor callbacks to things that only exist in that version in later stuff (like TSR I think but I haven't played it). I tend to not view them as "lesser, greater" like most others(games) wit more than 1 version released but rather 2 sides of the same coin & that makes it more fullfilin to me & like I said jus explains stuff later. another great 1, excited for wut's next. thx

[@SoranotRoxas]

Now this was exactly what I've been waiting for 👌😌

[@Traemonzoboi]

I still love sonic colors ❤

[@SaddieMoon]

Finally we got that elusive Sonic Colors Bonus Video.

[@98ahni]

11:40 The boost wisp is referred to as *”the white wisp”,* not cyan. The cyan wisp is indeed laser.

[@thefastcommenter7774]

Awesome vid bro. Learned some stuff I did not know about Colors. Earned a subscriber!

[@tailsbread]

Please continue this I love it sm

[@lpfan4491]

1:06:49 Interesstingly, gameland-wisps do not have this issue(At least on Switch), same as with the drill controlling better and not getting stuck. Genuinely no idea why with two identical characters, one has an issue added and the other does not. That is like if they rereleased SA2 and have Knuckles' characterslot bugged to stick to the wall like 06, but Rouge can climb fine. 1:10:05 Oh yeah, Cubot is also subject to one of the rare cases of censorship in current Sonic. In the japanese localization, the diffrent voicesettings are diffrent and one of them is an "effeminate man"? Since that is generally considered to be a ...controversial topic in current day(That all versions have all audiotracks probably didn't help), the relevant line of dialogue calling the voicesetting that was appearently replaced in Ultimate with a copy of a line said elsewhere in the game. At least assuming the fantranslator was accurate about this info. 1:12:33 Isn't that just because the cutscene is shared?

[@Cifesk]

Responding to the last question, yes, it may be. But it's still interesting nonetheless

[@golemplay64]

I hope you're planning on a Frontiers bonus video after the the 3rd update drops. That game has a ton of cut content, and beta difference discoveries, and it's not even a year old.

[@doubleG2]

I've been here since the 06 bonus vid man and your vids get improved every time keep it up. Also are u gonna do a qna vid in the future?

[@Cifesk]

Not sure, but thank you for sticking along :)

[@Sonikin1]

great video as always, u the goat

[@rizzla03]

Awww hell yeah Cifesk uploaded a long one this time

[@lucymorrison]

hell yeah a bonus video for my favourite sonic game

[@andrewwhelan9664]

Finally, a Sonic bonus video that Cybershell, that coward, would never do

[@SaddieMoon]

Finally we got that Sonic 2 bonus video. (3D Boost edition)

[@SolarisFox_svp]

He lives

[@2thirty2pm]

wow i found this quick, thanks for your work on all your vids man

[@noaht2005]

to think that sonic colours could have had longer acts with less per zone, but they cheaped out at the last minute makes me mad. Maybe someone could create a mod for Ultimae

[@komiiworldtour]

that unused hover wisp theme sounds insanneee

[@BricksterMan]

49:00 rail has a booster on it Sonic doesn't just launch off if you look at closely there is a booster on the rail a specific boosters for the rails but in that build it seems it launches Sonic so much

[@Cifesk]

I recommend reading the text on the bottom half of the screen ;) 48:49

[@BricksterMan]

Oh my bad didn't saw that one

[@Biscuit.Ummers]

10:41 the concept art is an unlockable in Sonic Generations

[@bandicootbrawl9674]

No wonder these stages feel so short. They should've just left them as is, never liked how short the levels were

[@traviscunningham7062]

Same. That’s why I prefer the DS version and Mario Galaxy 2.

[@Flabbyfinn64ecrazylazy]

i saw someone say before that sega was pretty mad about blind squirrel's shady port job. the switch port is awful but its alright on other consoles. wii version is just generally way more polished

[@TokyoDrift456]

32:57 im pretty sure this wouldve meant that Metal Sonic cant use wisp powers, and since Super Sonic cant either, im pretty sure that the need for Super Sonic to be enabled to be able to play as Metal is because enabling Super Sonic edits certain level layouts to be able to skip the parts where using a wisp is mandatory since, again, both Super Sonic and presumably Metal are incapable of using the wisp powers

[@RamblePrism]

Good video, very informative!

[@bob-rt8hg]

YEAAA ITS OUT

[@Vantoxify]

cool video man

[@SaddieMoon]

13:07 I remember hearing some of these lines before on the internet. But I can’t remember where. Edit: 13:54 Now I remember! They were used in that one FNF fan song called Blur.

[@purrfectisepic]

how many more videos until cifesk runs out of games is unknown

[@da-sonic]

14:53 could also mean that with the power of the wisps, sonic surpassed the chaos emeralds in that fight. and seeing how sonic did get stronger since this game, THIS FUCKING MEANS BASE FORM SONIC > THE CHAOS EMERALDS DO YOU KNOW HOW CRAZY THAT IS

[@daciagutridge7770]

This was my first Sonic game and I absolutely love it, and this video. But on a different note, why are all of Sonic’s unused lines are always sus?

[@royeric5]

epic video

[@NinetailsNinetales5TimesFast]

Looking at the developer tools and how you can mess with the lighting and bloom, I wonder if someone could use those to find the optimal settings to make the game look like the Wii version or possibly turn it into a mod...

[@dolomite1067]

I love this video, and everything about it, but it kinda bugged me that you called the Boost Wisp the Cyan Wisp, when it's actually the White Wisp.

[@Cifesk]

You're right, I said it wrong and then when I tried to correct it I wrote it wrong again 😭

[@wackodude47_andkunckles]

Sonic colours ultimate in Canada actually has the colours spelt with a U on the title screen

[@SonicSunrise-Mika]

I think you missed a voice clip, there’s a voice clip for the announcer i think meant for the Final-Color Blaster attack at the end of the game, which sounds like the Wisp Names being said in one continuous clip, instead of just reusing the voices for when the normal wisps get used, i don’t seem to find anyone covering it, and I’m definitely sure it went unused, it’s called ve_BOS07_E01N_na in the files, although there is another one without the N at the end of the 1 but it’s just Tails Saying “Sonic”

[@Cifesk]

There's no way you're sighing at that vro

[@pvzmariosonica8fan]

The 60FPS glitches also happen on Switch despite the 30FPS cap on Switch

[@lpfan4491]

Not all of them, only some of them. If I had to guess out of the blue, they probably only put some internal values back to 30 in the internal data and missed others, meaning the port runs at a hybrid-framerate. That is at least the only way I can imagine that happening.
