[@have_a_good_day420]

I shook the shit out of coconut trees to feed my chao. When they would grow and evolve, and when I’d mix the right animals together to give the chao a badass limb and part from different animals, helping it while racing. I was hooked on Chao World. I even loved dropping them off to school.

I wish I could go back in time and tell my younger self how much time I would later spend on the chao gardens. Like..... words really can't describe how stupid I thought it was when I first played it.... Then out of nowhere.... it just.... I COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN! Seriously, I remember at least 2-2 1/2 years of going to my cousins house every weekend, just to play the chao garden. Almost every night we'd waste like 4 hours, just tapping the button on the controller while watching TV to pet the chao, and I forget what exact purpose we did it for, but we'd prop the controllers up and rubber band them down to keep it running overnight(I think we got it into our heads that you had to keep moving for the game's timer to keep going) Fuck I miss the chao garden. Really blows my mind how they've seemingly just refused to acknowledge them for like 15 years now. You'd think there'd be a shitload of failed spinoff, mobile games and terrible attempts at redoing them over the years. Have chao even been a part of the franchise since sonic heroes? And even that feels like it barely counts since it was just a decoration for Cream, and the Omachao acting as a narrator.

Looking through this list makes me think how much of a shame it is that Sega apparently seeks to hide a lot of Sonic's past (which has been overblown by the fandom to be way worse than it actually is). A lot of the games on here weren't bad concepts, and who knows how great they could've been with a remake that ironed out some of their flaws (even Sonic '06, which is bad mostly because it was rushed, and sadly, its hideous reputation will most likely prevent it from ever getting a re-release with the proper bug-testing it desperately needed).

[@markofthewolvessucks8930]

Ikr

[@LeRoiEnJaune]

I think some of it may, emphasis on _may,_ come down to the differing responses of SEGA and Nintendo to the popularity of console gaming overseas vs Japan. SEGA seemed to resent how much less popularity they had in Japan; and the Dreamcast's perhaps overly ambitious connectivity to arcade cabinets seems like an example of overcompensation for a perceived problem. (Genesis had few fighting games, Dreamcast is primarily remembered for its library of fighting games) On the other hand, Nintendo accepted that they would always make more money in the console market overseas than at home, and started listening more and more to their overseas market. (Pokemon popping off probably had something to do with it too) I think it's part of the reason Miyamoto has always made such an effort to communicate to the overseas markets' personally.

[@TheGreatRuke]

I agree. I think Shadow was incredibly ambitious, morality system, branching paths, vehicles and weapon's. It should be celebrated for that!

[@Nightopian1982]

Yep, I thoroughly agree chap! I was frankly annoyed by the moaning about the exploration part. Diddy Kong Racing on the N64 had that too (also a favourite of mine). It looked exceptional on the Saturn, and I thought a lot of effort had been put into it. As you say, easily in the Saturn's top 40 (I'd say 20 myself), and given how true Saturn players hugely rate the system, it's high praise. One ranking in this list that really irritated me was Sonic 2 on the Master System at 64. It's far better than that, especially when Sonic Chaos and Triple Trouble are ranked so highly. At least Sonic Adventure was up near the top. Personally, I don't care for the newer Sonic games much. I think it's the fact that they're not on Sega consoles.

[@skyblade7438]

Sonic Battle is better than 06 and Secret Rings at least. As for Shadow...yeah, that can stay there.

[@YamatoFukkatsu]

Lately, I've been seeing more advocates in defense of Sonic '06, yet even they seem to view Shadow the Hedgehog as being something worth shitting on. That saddens me, because while I certainly wouldn't say that the game is without its flaws, I actually had quite a bit of fun with it. Honestly, I enjoyed it more than Heroes (which I view as being where Sonic's downward trend of poorly-designed, glitch-riddled games truly began). Hell, even the whole "Sonic character with a gun" thing sorta works since weapons are actually quite good for taking out enemies instantly (granted, it would've been nice if they just got rid of the stupid enemy HP that Heroes introduced in the first place, but I guess they must've realized that it'd really be no different from any other 3D Sonic game if Shadow could just Homing Attack everything to death). One thing that the Sonic '06 fans especially seem to hate on Shadow for is the narrative. And yes, the multiple routes do ultimately become pointless when there's still one true ending (yet not making it clear which route is canon up to that point), and I'd especially condemn the game for relegating the explanation as to whether or not Shadow's really the same one from Adventure 2, arguably one of the main reasons the game should exist in the first place, to a brief line of dialogue that you'd have to deliberately drag out the final boss fight for. However, I don't think the return of "edgelord" Shadow should be anything of concern because, let's be honest, should we really expect him NOT to be fucked up and more nihilistic after how Sonic Heroes ended? If anything, I'd say ShtH's story does a servicible enough job of bringing Shadow back up to his end-of-Adventure2 outlook after Heroes arbitrarily brought him back with amnesia and had an ending that only left him more confused (and the Shadow the Hedgehog game is especially not to blame for Shadow's eventual Flanderization).

[@JustCallTre]

Im not a fan of shadow, I think its better then Sonic Heroes....Sonic Heroes like all their Act 1s on fine except some of the later ones, but all of their Act 2s are AWFUL, BORING, and LONG Not sure about the rest of you, but I don't like my sonic stages to incredibly long. (I also hate it when its incredibly short, cough cough sonic forces cough cough) Shadow,while repetitive especially with certain missions, still was fun to go through the stages as they never took too long....except with specific missions (plus most people played it on the ps2, what is a TERRIBLE port of that game)

[@YamatoFukkatsu]

@@JustCallTre I played the PS2 version myself. Not the best performance, but I wanted dual-audio and don't have an Xbox, and I was already burned on the GameCube version of Heroes not having it (and with Shadow especially, I absolutely loved Koji Yusa's performance in Adventure 2 and wasn't willing to give that up..... of course, the English version's sudden change over to 4kids actors didn't really help either).

Placing any Sonic Olympic games not to mention Sonic Racers above Generations already has you losing credibility big time! I get Sonic Spinball being placed lower on the list, but at #61 that's just ridiculous, and Sonic Generations absolutely deserved to be placed higher than the #22 spot. This guy contradicts his own previous statements multiple times as he goes through the list, and this is exactly what happens when people try to be funnier than they are.

@Kian if the boost button and homing attack button weren't the same button, Unleashed would be so much better than Generations instead of just better than Generations.

[@ComaAlpha]

@Kian don't get me wrong, I still think Unleashed is better than Generations but if that one thing were different it would be so much better. The boost is just unforgiving when you're not locked onto your target when you think you are. I recently replayed both and I would much rather play Eggmanland than Planet Wisp. The challenge is the perfect blend of frustrating and satisfying where Generations feels way too easy. Plus Spagonia is way better in Unleashed than Generations. I'm rambling now. Ignore me.

I remember Sonic Shuffle only had one zone copied from Sonic Adventure which was The Emerald Coast Zone and the following zones after Emerald Coast Zone on Sonic Shuffle were all debut zones with different names such as The Fire Bird Zone, The Riot Train Zone and even The Fifth Dimension Space Zone.

[@GuuhhDarkzz]

The first console I owned was the dreamcast, both Sonic Adventures have a special place in my heart, specially the first one. They might not be the greatest games out there, but I love them, still play them once in a while, I dare to say SA1 is one of my favorite games ever, always have fun with it

[@ProdigalGuitarist]

Everyone gives adventures shit, but they were fun for me

[@Nightopian1982]

Sonic Adventure is frickin awesome pal! I don't think I've ever awaited a game as eagerly as I did that one. I've still not forgotten buying the DC on launch day with SA. It took up so much of my time in 1999/2000, I nearly got thrown off my A level courses. I still love playing it to this day at 41. I can't quite understand why Generations and Heroes are preferred by so many people. Sonic did, and always will, belong on Sega consoles.

[@wanderlustwarrior]

1:09:50 oh them's fighting words. The Chao Garden is a big part of why people clamor for a "Sonic Adventure 3" to this day, despite already having one in Sonic Unleashed (Sonic World Adventure in Japan) and Sonic 06.

[@katelynthewhitewerewolf6376]

We need The Sonic Characters as permanent player Characters again not just Sonic just because he's the main character doesn't mean he has to do all the work. I want to play as Shadow Sonic Silver Tails Amy Knuckles Cream Vector and the others again. And we need a break from Eggman as the main villain for once in a while just because Eggman is the main villain doesn't mean he has to appear every time it gets boring and we don't need his stupid robots as the same enemies every time. We need a new villain who isn't Eggman and new enemies who aren't his robots too.

[@thunderstruck560]

The biggest question is: where is Tom Campbell?

[@boreadam]

I honestly understand why people don’t like dark brotherhood, but I myself really liked the game. Playing it on long road trips, every character had different abilities to help around the world map, the mini-game like combat was fun and the super moves which required specific teams was really cool.

I disagree with a number of these but you guys are funny af and genuine about your perspectives so I can respect your takes and continue to enjoy the video 😂

[@mistersp3753]

It's amazing to think that, just over a year after this video was made, 3 more Sonic games have been released, all three of which received favorable reviews. I would almost count Sonic Frontiers as two games, because the huge amount of free DLC Sega gave us throughout 2023 gives us far more content than Sonic Forces ever could have imagined. 2023 sure has given Sonic fans plenty to eat. I wonder what's on the plate for next year. Oh, that's right. A big movie and a Knuckles series, so Sonic 3... and Knuckles. Rather fitting, since I feel like its 1994 all over again.

[@rulerofall015]

One game I disagree with is sonic battle even tho the game needed to be tweaked and added more content but it was crazy fun and arcadey even in story mode. The story mode was interesting too adding lore to sonic battle and everyone had a reason to fight each other instead just battling for the lols. It should be higher

About the Sonic Blast thing, as a brazillian. I think the master system was pretty popular here even in the 90s so the fact that it got a port for it in 1997 makes some sense.

The Mega Drive Sonic games will always have a special place in my heart. Its just a shame the transition to 3D games didnt go as great for Sonic as it did for Mario. Would love to see modern Sonic games use Drum & Bass music the high tempo upbeat sound would be perfect. Sonic 3 & Knuckles will always be my all time personal fave Sonic game 💙 for the 16bit gen it was a masterpiece

[@calistusjay60]

The 3D transition was just as good as Mario. And there are several sonic games that use DNB :)

[@MeNoSpeakJibberish]

@Kian Ok firstly I never read any magazines or websites about games since early 00s but I used to read Gamesmaster (which at the time was one of the biggest publications). What I said was based on my opinion, nobody elses. I have never heard anyone say Sonic battle was better than Mario64 or the best platformers of its time. Just personal preference neither of us are wrong for liking one more than the other. For me Sonic made the best 2d platformers but Mario has made better 3d platformers IMO and trust me Iv wanted to like Sonic games more I even pushed through the glitch fest of Sonic 06 to complete it and was still disapointed 🤣

[@TheJmack90]

@Kian @Calistus Jay Sonic actually did have a rough transition into 3D, but THAT phrase over the years has been misconstrued as “Sonic Adventure was a rough transition into 3D” which is wrong. Adventure was the successful breakthrough. Everything else between Sonic & Knuckles and Sonic Adventure is the rough transition

[@TheJmack90]

@Kian Is it bad to say it was both? Sonic X-Treme’s cancellation and A LOT of prototypical 3D Sonic products spelled that they were having issues adapting a full fledged game, not to mention that they’d outright say it in interviews. It wasn’t just Sonic, EVERYBODY struggled with adapting their games into 3D around that time, it was new. Regardless I’m glad Sonic Team found a way that turned out successful

In my humble opinion Sonic 3 combined with Sonic & Knuckles is the 🐝 knees 😁. What a game! Thank you all again for an excellent video 👍🏼

[@sonicguyver7445]

I actually liked Sonic Battle. Emerl's growth through the game actually made me sad at the end. Also I guess the story parts with cardboard cutouts of the characters worked because I just imagined how those interactions were going. I also liked Rush Adventure better then the first Rush. It just resonates with me in a way I guess. Maybe helped by the fact I got it in the same purchase with Phantom Hourglass so two DS games with beloved heroes on high-seas adventures might had made me more excepting. It might help it was the first Sonic game I managed to collect all seven Emeralds to get the final ending. And I liked all the stuff I could do to improve the Island.

[@Banquet42]

I enjoyed it too tbh.

[@H0lyMoley]

THANK YOU! I still love that game. Took me three weeks to get full completion including all emeralds. Amazed it's rated right next to Sonic 06. Yes, it has some slowdown in parts, but it also has the single best music track in Sonic history (out of all the games I've played, which to be fair ain't that many) in Scrambled Egg Zone's theme. Sonic Chaos on the other hand... I completed it in two hours, then wondered where two hours of my life went. Easily the worst Sonic game I've played. I'm shocked Triple Jump say it's the "best" of the SMS games. I guess it shows how time changes perspective, but even so... it ain't good, guys. It's really not good.

[@Nightopian1982]

​@@H0lyMoleythank you! I'm appalled that Sonic Chaos is ranked higher than the previous two MS games. It's so ridiculously easy to complete, the acts are tiny, and the game physics are strange. I'll still play it when I play through all the old games, though. I'm insulted that 46 games are ranked higher than MS Sonic 1. Those two games are original and more challenging than the MD version I found, although obviously not as visually pleasing.

[@TheGaara802]
