Actually, each character in sonic superstars kind of has a different opening cutscene, and when starting the game on a new file as Knuckles, it's implied that the Master Emerald basically told him to go follow Sonic & Tails, which is what prompted him to join everyone in the first place, and if you beat Eggman as Knuckles, it shows him being dropped off back on Angel Island.

But can we actually talk about the Black Dragon? What's its deal? In the beginning, Eggman tells Fang to go hunt for it, we never hear it mentioned again besides the mural in Golden Capital Act Knuckles and then it just...appears in the Last Story. No one summons it, there was never a prophecy stating that it would come. It just kind of does. And there seems to be a connection with Trip as well. They're both dragons and she seems to have the vessel needed to seal it away....a vessel that comes out of literally nowhere. Is this a relative of some sorts? A friend gone rogue? Anything as to why Trip has what the heroes need to seal it away? This has to be the worst implentation of an acient monster final boss in a mainline Sonic game due to just how much goes unexplained. The Time Eater had a better origin and its origin is "Eggman found it in a primordial state after Colours".

[@lianaverwood9810]

The Storyline for this Game kinda Relies on people *Watching the Tie-In Cartoon on their Official KZbin Channel,* which is _a Mistake of its own,_ to Understand how *the Black Dragon* fits into things - _and it's quite Vague even then!_ From what I gathered, *Trip's People* - *_the SunGazer Lizard Clan_* - had an innate Bond with the *Chaos Emeralds* beyond that of other Inhabitants, likely granted when *assigned to Protect their Island and the Prophecies and Chaos Emeralds on it.* It was only a matter of Time however, before one of their Tribe was driven Mad with ambitions of Power, and _tried to use the Emeralds to Conquer their People!_ Seven Warriors of their Clan bravely stood up to *the Transformed Black Dragon Tyrant,* and used their Abilities to Extract the Chaos Emeralds, then Seal it away inside *_the Black EggStone (My Name, to give Dr Eggman a reason to Search for it in the First Place!)..._* ...As with all Sealing Rituals, _those Contained are likely to Escape at some point,_ so after Portaining the Timing from their Oracles, they *_Inscripted a new Prophecy to Warn of the BlackEggStone's Danger and assigned a Giant Serpent to Guard it against those who would seek to abuse its Power..._* The Cartoon is one of those Silent Picture-type deals, so *we only have the Visuals to determine things from* - but with the Game out and Extra Context added, _I think we have the General Backstory figured out!_

[@castform7]

@@lianaverwood9810 Okay, I just watched Trio of Trouble and that actually makes a lot of sense. It's just kind of hard to verify anything with this vague mural featuring the sungazers that's only shown in this external source of media and the tiny one in Golden Capital. It also still doesn't explain the Black Dragon's escape from being sealed or where the seal came from so I guess we just have to infer that the Black Egg Stone was passed down to Trip. Wait a minute. Last of their kid? Ancient artifact entrusted to them? If the inference is true, Trip is just Knuckles again.

[@lianaverwood9810]

@@castform7 Yes, it does make Trip a Redo of Knuckles' Backstory - such seems the case whenever these Ancient Chaos Beings are involved... And my Theory on why the Black Dragon Escaped is that Dr Eggman used the Powers of the Black EggStone for his Time Manipulation Device - when it was destroyed, the Dragon broke free from the now-weakened Seal...

[@castform7]

@@lianaverwood9810 That would be really cool. I just wished there was something in the game to support it. I would also just like SOMETHING to explain the Black Dragon's reawakening, like maybe the stone can only hold in a creature for 1000 years or a cutscene of Eggman finding the stone in a place Trip hid it and finding a way to unseal it only for him to not be able to control it. This game tells what little of a story it already has so poorly.

[@aidanhammans9337]

8:58 This machine can only rewind a few minutes and possibly only the Egg Fortress itself. The Time Eater could do all of history (including stuff that technically never happened) and was Modern Eggman’s plan.

[@SoraKingdom3]

In a way, we could even implied that when Classic Eggman succed at going back to his time, the events of Generations inspired him to create a more compacted time machine.

[@lianaverwood9810]

I can only theorise, but the only way Eggman was likely able to create this Time-Manipulating Device was by drawing Power from the Black Dragon's Sealing Stone - that I chose to call 'The Black EggStone', something that'd lead Dr Eggman to Search for it - and the Advanced Chaos Powers of the Dragon within! That's the only way I can think of to Tie the Eggman Plot into that of the Black Dragon Sub-Plot that SEGA chose to throw in there...

I... Don't tend to make comments a lot, cuz' I don't tend to have a lot to say, but the outro bit felt very deep and introspective. Felt like it warranted a comment. When a series puts you on the map, and it's what garners the most attention, it can quickly become the main thing you're known for. Seeing the viewer counts on most of your videos, and comparing it to the viewer count that this series usually gets, it's pretty clear you're widely known as 'the Everything Wrong With guy'. Heck, when I first saw this channel I thought you were just 'the Everything Wrong With guy'! But your videos are interesting, and that game project you got goin'? It's some of the most incredible stuff I've seen! It's got passion, it's got talent, and boy is it awesome! I might just be a flat broke bum living in some middle o' nowhere backwater town, but I can still tell you this: I'm absolutely on-board with some more diverse stuff! I know it's just a comment, just a single like, and merely a single view, but I bet there's plenty of folks out there who think the same! It might not reach the same heights as Everything Wrong With, but if you like doing it, I'll probably like watching it. The way you write videos is just swag like that. So whether it's just a skit, or a sign of something yet to come, I'm always ready to watch it! Cuz' your videos rock!

Sega: STILL insisting Sonic's friends be just "EaSy mOdEs" instead of legitimate alternatives. Even in a game who's entire MARKETING revolves around Sonic teaming up with his friends.

[@comicfan1324]

9:10 There are Knuckles cutscenes that explain why he isn’t there and why he came along. Knuckles sensed that something was wrong, and saw Sonic and Tails flying off to these zones. Judging by the fact that he locates all the chaos emeralds, we can assume that’s what he’s after. Now that the day is saved, he went back to Angel Island. (Although I will say, I have no idea why his present during the final boss.)

[@doctormodder]

This is why I rarely play as Sonic unironically. And you have to trigger Knuckles' and Amy's starting cutscenes, you have to start a new file first selecting Amy or Knuckles. I think the Final boss cutscenes can be accessed with one save file, though.

[@MohamedIbrahim-xm1tj]

I feel like the 41st sin kinda confirms that superstars takes place in the classic demension where it's before Mania, I say classic demension, (despite what SEGA said) because this point could be explained by saying that when modern Eggman told Classic about his past failures, he tried to do what modern did but earlier where Sonic was still more naive & less skillful, on top of that, this could also explain the end being there since it is an alternate timeline where maybe someone caused it to escape from cyberspace earlier, & I say before Mania because of the ending cutscene in Origins, since even Tyson Hesse said that it was meant to tie in with Superstars.

[@nightwish1453]

that's the thing allegedly during forces and mania they were intending to do the alternate dimension route, however they recently backed away from it to streamline the games

[@ChaotixSonicScience]

Anyone realise that Classic Sonic learned the Homing Attack and became part of his natural moveset in 3DS Generations and is a Skill in the other version?

[@tuesdayz167]

Hey Chari! During my play-through of the game i came across a glitch that is very very easy to replicate. In Bridge Island Act 1 there’s a speed shoes box that you can pick up. Once you do that, transform into super sonic or (whatever character you’re using) and finish the rest of the stage. If you speed through the chase at the end fast enough the game sort of bugs out and can’t keep up on whether you still have the speed shoes activated or not. This will cause all the main music for the next couple of stages (until the next mini boss fight) to speed up as if you were still using the speed shoes item. It’s super freaky but also funny to hear the sped up version of the game music despite running at base speed.

[@Charriii5]

That's phenomenal lol I always love hearing about little bugs and oversights like this because it's so easy to miss things like that in game dev due to how specific the scenarios are. They're so easy to replicate and probably easy to fix, but also probably really easy to not even consider.

[@kirbstagoontheaxolotl]

On the wisp thing for the purple moon, it may actually be connected to the wisps. Firstly, there's the one planetoid with torches that appears purplish when the torches are extinguished in the cutscene where the mind control cannon goes haywire due to the arm of either Big Boy or Globotron (I refer to it as Globotron due to the DS version being my preferred version) being stuck in it, and then the moon gets hit by a mind control beam turning it purple.

Another thing to note about the final boss: The Black Dragon has a mostly purple and black color scheme with red accents via glow when it activates its powers… just like a certain reality altering gemstone from two out of the last three games Classic Sonic appeared in. Makes me wonder if the Phantom Ruby has something to do with the Black Dragon and its powers and if this game and Forces are setting up a story arc centered around uncovering the reason behind the Ruby’s existence. After all, we don’t know where the Ruby went after Forces, just that there was no actual sign it was destroyed, and according to the Encyclo-Speed-ia, the Phantom Ruby absorbed Infinite into itself- not killed or destroyed him, ABSORBED him, implying that he’s still alive, just trapped.

I actually did that on my first playthrough and I had the same reaction too!

I know that in the Legend of Spyro trilogy Cynder used to be black but in Dawn of the Dragon and in Skylanders Spyro’s Adventure she’s much more purple just like Spyro which explains why Cynder is the female equivalent of Spyro

0:31 can’t wait for the “classic sonic rewritten”!

[@HarbingerYT]

So they set up this whole thing with the Black Dragon, right? And Trip can turn into a dragon using the 7 Chaos Emeralds. Why didn't they fight? WHY DID THEY WASTE A AN OPPORTUNITY LIKE THAT?

Honestly the endslate’s have me clicking videos I wouldn’t normally watch to see bc the acting is SO GOOD

[@CeruleanHee-ho]

I find it ironic that you found Golden Capital the most original since I've heard that it was a scrapped zone idea from the first Sonic game. Also, I'm really appreciating the scenes during the endslates.

[@RadiantBlazeVA]

The level itself wasn't a scrapped idea from the first game, just those loops with the sun design on it

[@gameomer1855]

If I had a nickel for everytime there was a 2D Sonic game featuring 4 playable characters and a secret playable character, a final Story segment, Sonic with a homing attack, Tails with a tail attack, Knuckles with a punch attack, Amy who can crawl into a ball at will and a fifth character (who make their first appearance) that is shockingly broken when you know what they're capable of I've had two nickels Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice

My only real gripe is really how long the bosses take, I get why it is so each boss can be unique and have different phases without ending too quickly but they drag for so long imo (At least for Single Player, for Multiplayer that's a different story)

[@TealZero]

Alrighty everyone, say it with me. "Wow, a new Sonic game that isn't *terrible*, it has good ideas - just executed a bit poorly." I think this is like the 5th in a row lol

5:41 he started learning it after sonic generations, on the final cutscene before the credits, classic sonic tries to perform a homing attack, but fails.

Oh no, Charriii's multiple personality disorder is getting worse. His personalities are having their own personalities. Quick, everyone, support him and give him compliments about how we believe in him fully so we can help stabilize him while also telling him the truth!!!

[@Loner098]

I mean, his criticisms do kinda make sense, though...

Down to see whatever you got next. : )

They actually confirmed the emeralds powers are specifically a phenomenon located exclusively on the Northstar Islands

[@solar_ignition]

I love how they made super sonic amazing in Sonic Frontiers only to make the form weak as piss in Superstars, super sonic goes from dusting the Titans and The End to dying to a simple laser

[@burbusburbus8782]

to be fair, sonic in frontiers is both older, and more experienced, than classic sonic

[@solar_ignition]

@@burbusburbus8782 fair, but can that be viable since classic super sonic in sonic 3 and knuckles couldn't die to anything other than pit falls and lava which were done so to keep him from being too broken?

[@RadiantBlazeVA]

Super Sonic got shot out of the sky from lasers multiple times in Frontiers too

[@solar_ignition]

@@RadiantBlazeVA they had to do something to get sonic out of his super form and decided to just having the chaos emerald shot out of him instead of just having his rings run out

[@burbusburbus8782]

@@RadiantBlazeVA see, with frontiers we can infer, or maybe even confirm that supersonic isn't completely invincible. knuckles knocked sonic out of super form, eggman had neutralized the emeralds to stop it, and now the lazers make me think supersonic, while on guard, is more RESISTANT to damage, but not completely invincible
