Creepy Bad Endings # 23

Warning: Video is loud.
Bad Endings. I don't know about anyone else, but they terrify me. Just when the hero(es) thought everything was finally right, just when it looked like peace had finally returned to the world, something happens that, at best, creates a bittersweet victory and, at worst, spoils everything and the enemies win, despite everything that happened throughout your adventure. Bad endings don't give you any second chances, you screwed things up for everyone and you must pay dearly...

[@weavileforce3654]

So, Eggman juggling the chaos emeralds isn't a good enough motivation to get a better ending? How about we, say perhaps, have a demonic version of Metal Sonic set a city aflame?

[@ChristopherLee-rc4sg]

Your so right

[@ChristopherLee-rc4sg]

I really don't care about sonic

[@reddog745]

Ikr it's not like metal sonic is going to pop out of the screen and destroy your city and world. it's not real in short words

[@jackrolls2393]

yeah I mean. overkill much?

[@jballs5434]

Unfortunately, this generation probably likes seeing the world engulfed in flames opposed to a simple end implying that everything is all right...

[@jamesmarowa9434]

Eggman was at his peak in sonic cd. There were these gemstones similar to the chaos emeralds called the time stones. You could use them in any zone to turn them from a normal place to a beautiful landscape! However, if you DIDN’T find them, little planet would be turned into an industrial hell. Just Mechanical madness everywhere. And remember that eggman did this to an entire planet

[@Taha_A]

Your information is slightly innacurate. Sonic uses the time stones to travel to the past. He then destroys the machines that eggman put in the past. For this reason, the location gets a good future. However, if you do NOT travel to the past and fix it, it will turn to a mechanical hell because nothing but sonic using the time stones can stop eggman.

[@neversobertv9720]

Eggmans’s peak was easily sonic adventure 2 I know that game was during the time sonic was a lot more “edgy” and serious story wise but it feels like eggman had enough of sonics shit and losing to him he held Amy at gunpoint got the best of tails and damn near won if it wasn’t for Gerald robotniks doomsday project sending the ark to crash into earth I think eggman would have won

[@ivylaneschool2873]

@@neversobertv9720 m! Fvfccsweeeseetrrccxdfkfv

[@That0neDude]

@@Taha_A That's not true. Sonic uses the time signposts to go to the past. Then he destroys the robot generator(and metal sonic holograms), and gets the time stones in the special stages. That's how you get a good future, by getting all of the time stones or destroying the generators. Not sure if that was another form of media.

[@bubbykins4864]

​​@@Taha_A and @That0neDude Actually, he uses his speed to time travel, with the points where he will allow the player to have him do so denoted by the appropriate time signs. If you don't want to be bothered with going to the past of every non-boss act to ensure a good future in that zone, collecting all the Time Stones will ensure that the good futures are created, thus netting you a good ending.

[@sackerlacker5399]

Imagine being a kid in the mid 90s getting very frustrated over the final boss, spending months trying to beat him, the you finally beat him and you are on top top of the world for a few seconds and then seeing the credits. Then you realize all that frustration was for nothing. I would sink my teeth into my 32x if that had happend to me.

[@ShockToYoSystem]

The old eggman was scary compared to todays eggman

[@hardyjoe4278]

In some games, he looks doofy, but in others like this, he was serious. He just didn't have this imposing feeling unless the game designed him that way. It was so funny seeing him blow up on his mechs as a kid.

[@torqueandrikotoone]

Chaotix bad ending: A whole city burning and millions die within the flames although we don't hear or see them Every other classic sonic game: *Juggling Intensifies*

[@supremetrapxex]

Now I totally remember watching this video. This shows the closest I got to one of the first times in forever I have heard about you & your content about these videos. I've watched it all, I have full memory on seeing any of this

[@graffiti9145]

That bad ending music slaps though

[@kaymckellar175]

Fact: The bad ending music is called "Murderous Power" . Perfect representation of Metal Sonic Kai.

[@ShadyFanEdits]

*Destructive Power,but yeah,it does represent Metal perfectly

[@robertlupa8273]

That slow ending music sounds perfectly with Super Metal Sonic burning the city.

[@noob___]

8 years later and this is still great This was made by the 2021 gang

[@paulnewton2284]

It seems that the Chaos Ring that Eggman captured is analogous to the Master Emerald.

[@ecernosoft3096]

That intro is epic though.

[@kiminowak8295]

5:32 I looked up the soundtrack, only for it to make me go WTF. I mean, when I got search results for Knuckles Chaotix Destructive Power, it played slow as opposed to here. Like, WTF!?!

[@frankwest018]

5:34 Terminator ending: You have failed to save John Conner and have failed Sarah Conner, now the machines have begun to rule the world

[@niro8943]

such a nostalgic video

[@garyphillip6972]

I think he wanted super Metal Sonic to stop but he just kept the world of a flame for no reason

[@zelokorLocalGodOfChaosAndBread]

Damn, I got recommended this so long after I first saw it

[@justapeckneck]

Hey, I've been looking for the episode on reverse boss fights for a while, I remember hydrocity zone from sonic mania was on the list

[@jordanpeterson5038]

We need to bring this game back. I'm sure at some point nintendo will put it on the switch but it will give everyone a chance to play it. Also, we need a sonic game that uses the chaos rings again cuss this is the only game I know that has them.

[@johntheechidna1]

Loved this game's (Knuckles Chaotix) music and gameplay. Dunno about the rest of you.

[@goetia1988]

good god the character/stage selection process for this game is exhausting lmao

[@BastionZx]

This is the future of Sonic Forces had Eggman Win

[@LisaMtzS4]

SEGA: lets have good ol' Eggman juggle some rings, huh? Random SEGA worker: Nah, lets make the players rage and have metal sonic burn Green hill city SEGA: GREAT IDEA!! Every kid playing Chaotix: *nightmares intesify*

“Welp, that world’s fucked. Sorry!” -Boomstick

[@brokenear1839]

it’s like the hero’s are dead…

[@Exeternal_Beyonder_Of_Doomsday]

From all Sonic games this is the most creepy ending and worst scenario in the series in Bad Endings category literally Metal Sonic burns down a city with the Creepy music and seeing the City and what's worse you can't fix it and the Credits with it too and this will most likely traumatiz a child

[@soulmadeofleaves4832]

Metal sonic has one heck of a green screen

[@kaymckellar175]

Chaotix: Spinoff. S28-bit: Likely Mainline.

[@megspitzer9406]

I'm not gonna lie, but that bad ending to Knuckles Chaotix looks grisly for a Sonic game, don't you think?😕

[@Sledgex3]

Me: Jeez... Those poor kids must have been traumatized after seeing this... Kids: Wow, Metal Sonic Kai looks so cool and badass! They should bring him back in Sonic Mania!

[@migueloourico2011]

That ending prove thats one of the metal sonic's power full forms, HE FREAKING BURNS A CITY IN 3 SECONDS (ok not exactly)

[@meganbermudez299]

those special stages mustve sent many epileptic children to the hospital, just sayin

[@raybhu7047]

Swag: says eggman shout juggle the chaos emeralds for the bad ending That one guy: nah, let eggman have metal sonic set a city on fire and kill everyone. Sega: GREAT IDEA THERE! Every kid: *having nightmares*

[@NatetheNintendofan]

In my opinion all Sonic endings are are creepy because it just shows try again with Robotnik juggling Chaos Emeralds and then him sing try again with a happy smile it's like oh you failed Sonic I can still take over the world Sonic cuz you didn't get all the Chaos Emeralds imagine seeing that as a kid that would horrify me

[@weimarballproductions83482]

what is wrong with Lub Lub

[@NotTheNexus1991]

i bet is gonna traumatized kids

[@user-postaldude64]

It already did to me

[@NeoRidero]

I miss when games had this kind of bad ending. Not a sad thing, not a "sacrifice" of some sort of friend that screams "just replay and save him" but just a simple image, that's powerful enough to make you replay to get the good ending

[@gloriacurtis9165]

MLPAiden are you fucking kidding me?

[@spiralvivitt3052]

are you serious? Because he got the point

[@lollerboller343]

But then again other people have a different taste for how people execute bad endings,so you can't blame anyone for that.

[@austinreed7343]

There are games like Megaman X4 where you CAN’T save that friend no matter what you do.

[@Yoshigaming234]

are you ducking kidding me

[@Saxjon]

Aesthetically saying, bad ending is way more awesome than the static image of start menu plus Sonic and Tails.

[@zosonils]

Disappointingly true.

[@3mar00ss6]

agree

[@bluetictacthatshootspingpo536]

It's funny how Sonic is in the credits yet not in the actual game.

[@batmanvideos529]

+The Flying Potato its funny that sonic became a playable characther in the japenese version

[@onihaiena6152]

Fun fact, a Knuckles Chaotix prototype, called Sonic Crackers features Sonic and Tails as playable characters

[@md.masumemran5204]

XD

[@matyassara9640]

Chandlerr Chase you know you did a joke

[@Schnort]

Chandlerr Chase Well, Metal does have some really good themes.

[@SparkstarScope]

Dang, Chaotix was such an underrated game. The mechanics with the Combi Rings weren't liked by most players, and like mentioned on the video, it didn't help that it was on a pretty much doomed console, the 32x. Still, the graphics were so colorful, even more than the Genesis's. It wasn't that big of a difference, but for those players who cares, it was a large difference. The soundtrack was awesome, too. Honestly, I loved the game. One of Sega's underrated gems, definitely. ...Ahem, despite that bad ending being really creepy for Sonic standards, I just loved that Metal Sonic final form burning down that city. Call me sadistic or anything, but it just looks badass.

[@gordontaylor2815]

***** Well, I think SEGA thought highly enough of it to reuse a lot of its concepts in Sonic Heroes.

[@SparkstarScope]

I suppose that'd be the case. They took the team mechanics and redone them just fantastically well on Heroes and eventually Advance 3 as well.

[@OhCrapI_He]

The tutorial levels were fun in the same way Goat Simulator was fun. Mostly due to the crazy physics system.

[@SonicEXEProductions]

It looks more like Metal is spilling orange ish red water on the town. But if it was a modern game, then it will look like Metal is burning the town

[@maggiethegamer1271]

That Chaotix to 3 Sega logo transition was perfect.

[@MetalSonicodraco7342]

Chaotix actually had some really memorable tracks like one from scenario select and even bad ending is a good tune

[@axellopez7630]

metal sonic

[@iregretsomeofmypreviouscom3284]

Door into summer, Seascape, Soda pop and Electoria are my favorites

[@robertlupa8273]

"Surprise!" (a.k.a. Stage Select Metal Sonic) is surprisingly good too.

[@SerphSheff]

Am I the only one who thinks Metal Sonic Kai looks terrifying?

[@TheVileBile]

no your not the only one

[@JonHT96]

Willowshade Warrior-Cat What? Tiny little old blue Metal Sonic? He's not scary. Now Titan Metal Sonic, the giant red guy you are most likely talking about, yeah no, he's fucking scary as hell. But no Metal Sonic Kai is not the terrifying form. Kai just means revised, which makes sense as he is in a new rebuilt body, or also can mean world or world king, so World King Metal Sonic could also mean that. At least that's what I've found. Whether that is right, I don't know. By the way, a little more on the story: Eggman(not Robotnik, as he was never Robotnik in Japan(though I use Robotnik for Archie continuity)) found a ring on the newly uncovered Island, with information inscribed on it. After further research on the island, he found a Special Ring, once used by the Knuckles Clan, and resembles a Super/Giant Ring, often used to access special stages. The ring resonated with the Pillar(SA(DX) Master Emerald Shrine, and is the original shrine, with Hidden Palace being a secure emergency location) and created the Chaos Rings. The six rings are used by Robotnik and studied, where he created Dark RIngs to fuel his Badniks(which appear when the badnik is destroyed, but quickly dissapate into dis-existence). After Metal Sonic Kai is beaten, he uses the Special Ring to create the monstrous Titan Metal Sonic. WHo destroys everything if you don't have the Chaos Rings.

[@SerphSheff]

JonHT96 Woah.

[@conlia]

Willowshade Warrior-Cat I'd say the Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask moon is the same amount of Nightmare Fuel as Metal Sonic Kai.Compare them and see which is more terrifying.

[@AngeryCL]

+Monado Girl me too

[@SpaceFox93]

Thanks for making this video. I remember watching my brother play this game and he got the bad ending. Due to us being really young, it really scared us. Rather than let it discourage him though, it motivated him to playthrough the game a couple more times to finally get the good ending. Memories :')

[@ph03n1xm9]

Here's what I thought would have happened. No Chaos Rings: Similar to this game's bad ending. 1-5 C. Rings: Robotnik failed to get the rings to their maximum power, and the battle rages on. All 6: You manage to stop robotnik after the final battle somehow.

[@Emcy]

2:22 Am I the only one that REALLY likes this theme? Just look at Vector, he gets it.

[@Garrettcube]

I wish that Knuckles Chaotix would at least get a relese on some sort of collection pack. It doesn't look as bad as what some people say about it.

[@killerratchet1973]

Apparently it was going be apart of the Sonic Gems Collection, but they didn't end up adding it since it was too difficult to emulate the 32X's hardware.

[@AshBob5000]

It's not bad. It's just really monotonous. The graphics and music are superb and that's what it has going for. The level design is bland. Overall not a bad game, I don't even mind having a tethered partner,

[@themischeifmakers1978]

When You get the Bad ending... Remember the Sonic Movie, when it had that Metal Robotnik Thing, and a BURNT CITY.

[@destroyer8690]

the bad ending predicted a stage for sonic 06

[@badyngamer5034]

[@whoisthisgit]

Reuploaded the video because there were a couple of errors in the old version that would've drove me up the wall if left alone. My new opening was still badly out-of-sync. *Shakes fist at KZbin* Hopefully, I can fix it for later videos.

[@somerandomguy2263]

back then this game is in making sega boss guy named bob : ok so we got all the game part finished now what? douchbag worker named jeff: lets makes the bad ending super metal sonic burning the city and the good ending just a image of sonic and tail on the sonic plane from sonic 3 and knuckles with the whole group and kill mighty bob: I love it you get a raise today jeff: yay :D

[@hexidecimark]

+Some random Guy More like: Bob: How's that new Sonic game for the 32x coming along? Jeff: We just finished putting in Sonic and Tails, we have the bonus stage ready, and the assets are nearly finished. Bob: Great. I just need you to totally change how the special stages work, get rid of Sonic and Tails, and make it a Knuckles game. Jeff: (Sarcastic) Suuuure, and let's add in "chaos rings" and the rest of Knuckles' crew to boot, then add in metal sonic and give him a demonic super form that burns cities down when you lose. Bob: Sounds great, see you next month when it's finished.

[@swineliasthegamer7686]

Hexidecimark Jeff: i was sarcastic!!- oh great, he's gone.

[@FireBlades]

That was good but the huge chaos ring can give ANYTHING energy back

[@spanishdexter]

Burning City, Bad Ending, Hmm maybe the inspiration for Sonic Forces?

[@megajoecaco786]

seeing the city engulfed in flames by super metal sonic might just be the best motivation to get a good ending

[@thekingslayer1831]

Between Sonic the Hedgehog 4, Sonic Mania, and Knuckles Chaotix, I'd say Eggman had quite the tight schedule after Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles.

[@Izlemder]

5:32 sounds like Genocide City Zone in Sonic The Hedgehog 2 Alpha (or Beta, I don't remember) Version... O.o

[@ActuallyTragic]

Someone hacked Sonic 2 and added that song into Genocide City.

[@TempestKrimps]

ei izlemder como vai u spooder?

[@HruMan360]

That's a fan-made rom hack, in fact Genocide City didn't have any music. (and also no, it wasn't supposed to be a city of corpses but instead the third act of metropolis with different graphics)

[@apersonnamedjune7410]

What if there was an alternate Forces-like timeline where Eggman used Super Metal Sonic to take over the world instead of Infinite?

[@WrathMilten]

Thanks for playing. BTW YOU FUCKED UP

[@zachariesburritostand2816]

there's a creepy good ending with two games that are really related. kirby's return to dreamland and Kirby super star ultra. note i do not mean Kirby super star, as the final bosses aren't the same. you know what's so creepy about both bosses? tough you'd get a good ending either way, Marx soul and Magolor soul let out disturbing and creepy death screams. Marx soul flat out ear rapes you, but Magolor soul screamed out Kirby twice. the second time more distorted than the other. i sort of just came up with that.

[@SethAurelius94]

Oh man, I haven't been to your channel in ages.

[@3mar00ss6]

this is the creepyest end of a sonic game

[@3mar00ss6]

+castlevaniaxmegaman yes this is important

[@MinkesSM]

+FurbyFan101 FurbyFan101 me too debug in this game sux

[@brizzle2655]

Agreed, I think most static image endings are likely the result of a tight deadline to push the game onto shelves forcing the developers to be like "fuck it, just put some random picture of the heroes with the credits and get it in stores already"

[@herotehdude]

I'm glad the fate of everyone is unknown. I mean, sega could've made us watch the chaotic try to defend the city and die while doing so.

[@herotehdude]

Or they even could send the camera to a graveyard with the names of the chaotics on the gravestones.

[@WolfPackztheultimate]

The whole Chaotix didn't die, though it's very likely Mighty died during the fire, as he was never seen again after the events of Knuckles Chaotix.

[@WolfPackztheultimate]

The whole Chaotix didn't die, though it's very likely Mighty died during the fire, as he was never seen again after the events of Knuckles Chaotix.

[@Dom270385]

Okay, now the city on fire looks much better. Nice work.

[@princeoflight612]

I heard that in Legend of Zelda:Majora's Mask there is a time limit of 3 "days" to complete the game.After the time runs out, you will get a bad ending.

[@ls190v2]

True. But after a little bit in-game, you get the Ocarina of Time and the Song of Time.

[@acapeIIIa_callilulelo]

I was looking for this. Also, I think the bad ending is better than the good one. At least you get something out of it. If I were to improve the good ending, I'd have a Mega man style ending, with each of the Chaotix members walking away from the burning ash-covered rubble from what used to be Super Metal Sonic while a remix of the title screen music plays.

[@stevenmvguy4355]

Who got reminded by Sonic Forces with this ending?

[@tobin791]

menacing as hell but that music is badass

[@RedVelocity]

When you had said Tails died, I turned dark sonic for a day! I mean one of the creepy bad ending episode.

[@kianamoore3879]

U mean Sonic 2 Game Gear?

[@GenNuki]

Head of Sega: We need some ideas for the bad ending of the game. Anything? Member: Can Robotnik just go jump in a pile of trash and taunt you? Head of Sega: Eh, sounds a little pathetic. Don't you think? Other Member: What about Metal Sonic just burns down an entire city. Head of Sega: On the day I die, you are the next head of Sega! Me: WTF?!

[@deefoster4666]

It may be bad, but the music rocks! :)

[@WhiteMageMentality]

Glad that's all working nicely now for you now. Still, the fact that they'd put so much more effort into the bad ending than good seems pretty cruel...

[@eevee1583]

somewhere faintly in my mind is this game, i have a memory of seeing it but dont know where i saw it. i want to play this game at some point

[@weegeemalleo1148]

you do realize the Sonic CD bad ending IS CANNON!

[@Metatronio]

In sonic 4 little planet is normal but it still has stardust speedway bad future for some reason... my theory is that stardust speedway is stuck in some sort of time loop that won't let the future change there, but for all the other acts, the future did change since sonic destroyed all the bakniks in the other acts, but he didn't completely destroy metal sonic, only severely damaging him. So what do you think about this theory? Is it good I would love some sort of feed back.

[@Metatronio]

I forgot to finish the theory... So because of metal sonics presents there, time did the stop loop thing even though sonic either collected all the time stones or destroyed the generator things
