Who likes the boost mechanics in Sonic games? I do enjoy it quite a lot, especially in Unleashed and Generations. Although I would like to see a return of the Adventure formula someday. Find the timestamps below or in the description. Thanks for watching!

[@zocialix]

Honestly? Back during Unleashed I loved it. After that though? It always just seemed to be needlessly restricting the design and mechanic potential of future games. In addition it's a highly volatile play-style that's never once been implemented in a mainline Sonic game as its own. Sonic 06 had the right idea with the mach speed sections if they were better integrated; less is more sometimes. Just seems that for the most part that Sonic games with the boost game-play are forced to be designed in a certain way, i.e. mostly a constant forward direction with varying narrow pathways that don't explore full potential of 3-D control.

[@sauvagess]

ngl, the constantly swapping screen positions in the DS games was quite jarring. Every time Sonic would dip below the top screen, my eyes would instinctively swap to the bottom one, only to get heavily jarred by everything switching up. It actually made it quite uncomfortable to watch. The same could be said for when switching back, but it wasn't as harsh because there was nothing above it.

[@VasilisKarageorgiou]

Me btw its faster in sonic generations 3ds to go on the other side in the end

[@tatomtots6155]

Its really good but the level design has to be on point for it to be enjoyable like unleashed or generations.

Unleashed is faster. Generations Sonic is a slow soyboy.

[@denizycl]

Its all about pressing just a single button, it kills momentum and speed feeling too. Its not a good mechanic for momentum based games like Sonic. I think Sega and Sonic team should devolope new speed and momentum mechanics. Visuals and designs come afterwards.

[@thawkade]

@@SonGokuuuuuuu Same speed. Generations camera makes it look slower.

[@TheAKIAMVs]

in fact in sonic heroes it was just holding the boost button, when my whole life I thought it was desperately pressing the button until I broke my control, congratulations to myself 😂😅😥

[@sauvagess]

Not to mention, depending on when you start your boost relates to how fast the gauge depletes. Technically, the easiest way to succeed is to start boosting when it's at level 1 right before going through the star orbs to max out your meter, so you have 3 levels of meter but are only using the level 1. You catch up to the emerald effortlessly because you'll never run out before getting to it.

[@Acejak1234]

when i played it i found it faster to spam the button and it saves the gauge where as holding the button depletes it quicker, but i would hold the button when i reach the star balls and was close to the emerald lol

[@raiverns9620]

heroes special stages had some extremely wonky physics where depending on the turn, slope, and boost level you would either SLOW DOWN or go lighting speed when you boosted. I found that going upside down while the pipe was level resulted in a significant speed boost

[@serg.i0]

Don’t worry I did this for the final boss of Generations

Alex Toonz sonic unleashed has the best shading and most things in the game are generally made out of more polygons. Unleashed sonic’s model has the most polygons out of all modern sonic models

[@edgelord8337]

Technically sonic advance 2 was the first sonic game with the boost function. The more rings and speed you have the faster you get. And also cream first appeared in advance 2.

[@edwardrobinson5470]

Yes. Well this probably more specific. Sonic games with the boost gauge. I know everyone in advance 2 could boost once hit max speed.

[@theultimategamer95]

I swear I see you everywhere now... Also yeah, it's possible to press either left or right as Sonic twice fast to speed up too, which is I guess also technically a boost.

Seriously, WHAT did they do to the boosting effect in Forces? It looked immaculate in Generations, why did they reuse the effects from Lost World? I swear no one talks about this

[@assaultapple6561]

Jon B-C I don’t mind the way the boost looked. I’m guessing if the story of sonic forces was different compared to the final release, sonics boost should’ve looked puny compared to eggman forces to convey a sense of hopelessness. That’s my opinion on the fact.

[@TurboPikachu]

@@assaultapple6561 I just wish everything about the game wasn't lesser than that of Generations. Even if Forces would have literally just been a rehash of Generations and reusing all its old assets but with the new story and stages, we would have had better everything. Better graphics, better in-game animations/effects, better controls/physics, even better lighting/shading. I just hate not expecting a better game than what came before... Because Sonic used to be like that. Sonic 3 was better than 2 was better than 1.... Adventure 2 was better than Adventure. And Unleashed was WAY better than 06. But Lost World was worse than Generations, and Forces is worse than Lost World...

[@xavierhills1051]

TurboPikachuX i dissagres on sonic 3 being better than sonic 2 and sa2 being better than sa1

[@sanic_atd]

They pretty much just used the same physics and assets from lost world, it’s why the springs, dash pads and everything else looks big and cartoony. Literally the only thing they changed was remove the run button and give him Super Sonics boost.

Man, i love sonic colors ds. It's one my favorites but unleashed just did it so right.

[@lance2580]

Theory: Back in Shadow the Hedgehog, the hero chaos ability does resemble the boost and is obtained by defeating the black arms. Notice how Sonic gets boost energy when defeating enemies? (Excluding Colors, where they were powered by wisps.) Perhaps the Chaos Emeralds may be the power supply for the boost.

[@jaykillerthegod3718]

In sonic unleashed, the chaos emeralds we’re drained from their energy so I think the chaos emeralds isn’t what caused the boost energy

[@lance2580]

A bit of a stretch here, I'd assume that over time, the energy of the Chaos Emeralds wore off on Sonic to the point where he can use the ability without them.

[@jaykillerthegod3718]

Lance weird but make sense as Sonic was able to defeat perfect chaos in generations without his super states. This may prove sonic still had enough chaos energy to defeat such a foe and to top it all off Sonic still had boost in generations.

[@lance2580]

Jaykiller The god I mean, he could have time traveled to an earlier point of the disaster before Adventure!Sonic showed up just to weaken Perfect Chaos so Adventure!Super Sonic can finish him off.

[@James-oj6ru]

Ooooooorrr, he might just be running faster, faster than sound could cause ALOOOOT of damage after all, especially with his sizes and the boosting effect was just the temperature heating up, compressive waves around him (which makes me wonder what would happened if he just say F¥CK IT and go maximum speed, without holding back)

[@mitchelljohnson1198]

The boost... A mechanic that is fun when done right. When you have level design built for it, and without sacrificing the capability of challenging the player. Unleashed was ahead of its time in terms of detail, and gave a best feeling of speed with the mechanic, but could be unwieldy at times. (But the level design made mastering it feel great. Not the most colorful of them all, but it still holds up well visually today.) Generations had the best balance going on for the boost gameplay (and is probably the most vibrant in terms of colors, despite it's textures not being so great up close, and it isn't the most detailed. Level design wise, was the most well-balanced.) Aside from the lack of drifting, Sonic Forces' boost gameplay isn't necessarily bad--but the game's level design does it no favors whatsoever, and makes it all... boringly simple. A downgrade in every aspect, really. (The game does, however, have a far better lighting system than the rest, and contains more detailed visual effects when it comes to the environments. Despite being a painfully average game, it's environments ARE very nice to look at.)

[@Jukeo]

What about colors

[@mitchelljohnson1198]

Jukeo V2 I'll admit that Colors actually slipped my mind when writing that comment. Colors is fine gameplay-wise, despite the game's obsession with switching to a 2D point of view (which would of been fine, as 2D fits Sonic naturally. Didn't really bother me, but admittedly Colors did it far more than it needed to.) As far as the boost goes...you can argue that its total reliance on the white Wisps for energy makes it less overpowered (that's a either a negative or a positive depending on how you feel about the Boost itself). Regardless of how you feel about the Boost though, to my memory, the Wii version of the game doesn't really give you a whole lot of room in its levels to enjoy using it much.

[@Knuckles5140]

While PS3/360 Unleashed is the best versions of Unleashed, I still can't help but feel nostalgia from Wii/PS2 version cause at the time we only had a Wii and PS2, so that's what version I grew up playing. It was fun either way and I now have and enjoy both versions and even find myself wanting to play Wii/PS2 version sometimes. Also. Sonic Colors was like my Sonic Unleashed for PS3/360 as well. 😂

A significantly lower pool of talent left over in addition to the need of getting brand new staff completely inexperienced crafting levels around this style of game-play.

I honestly feel that boosting in Forces is perfectly balanced. It starts out empty, so you can't just hold it from the beginning of a level until the end. It doesn't recharge via rings, so you actually have to look for Wisps and enemies. It doesn't attract rings either, so Super Sonic actually has some sort of purpose.

[@denizycl]

The boost formula is really bad for momentum based games like Sonic. Because you don't need any skills or strategies. It literally kills all of the momentum and speed mechanics too! Since its all about pressing just a "single button", it gets really boring after 1 or 2 hours of gameplay. Boost formula's only advantage is cool visuals lol. But everyone knows that gameplay mechanics should come first!

"evolution of boost" *a dreamcast era*

[@Purple_Meth]

Evolution? I like it!

[@NightOfTheLivingWeavile]

They really have changed Sonic over the years!

[@zocialix]

The current character models are so stiff lifeless looking and completely lacking in unique style. I think they're finally changing these character models though as it was reported that during a Sonic Adventure Music Experience Sonic and Co were seen to have brand new renders. Finally; they've been missing their attitude and personalities since 2008. It's honestly embarrassing. The childish and non-story approach the series took for a decade was not only unappealing to older existing fans, but even younger new ones. It's been an absolute flop outside of Generations.

Ah the rush games. The best boost systems

Why was Rush Adventure’s level art so flat in composition?

[@homie_christ7991]

I miss Sonic rush, my grandpa have me a mofo R4 back when those were a thing and that was my favorite game ever

[@TyDaWize]

You forgot sonic’s special ability in rivals (1&2) that lets him boost also you have the blue gem from sonic 06 which is the boost basically

[@gabrieltorres6633]

The way you played sonic rush hurt my soul

[@kristaduguay8480]

Why you constantly pressing the boost botton (heroes) just hold it lol you’ll go faster

[@CheddarVG]

Because that'll run the meter faster.

[@hayjea3313]

For me the best boost is the unleashed on cause it goes FAST! but the best boost animation is the colors one, it so stylish

[@KavinCatastrophe]

Don't you mean the De evolution of Sonic Boosting because Forces.

[@leothehuman_9476]

sonic generations maybe needed that little graphics downgrade, just look how the framerate in unleashed is totally dead!

[@Kuzamer]

I don't want the Boost to come back.

[@Kuzamer]

@Brandon Clark Or you could just have good handling.

[@leothehuman_9476]

cheater!!! You have infinite boost in colors!!! Also you should be playing on a wii emulator, because my wii ran it at 480p, and it looks 1080p

Man I remember when I got sonic rush adventure thinking it was sonic rush that was the best mistake of my life I played that game at least 20 times and I still play it to this day that game was AMAZING

[@jambamram8441]

Unleashed day time levels and Generations modern gameplay really were the golden standard and for some reason Sega downgraded everything in Forces. WHY?

[@SlypherXyz14]

I love the boost mechanic. Everyone needs to stop the boost to win bs because not only are their obstacles you have to slide, homing attack, or leep across, but boosting is an option unless it is absolutely necessary to get through a stage.

[@hypergoon1152]

Everton Douglas.I love Boost,but I'd also love to see the return of the Adventure formula.

[@SlypherXyz14]

@@hypergoon1152 What's the point in going back to an old formula when they can just simply combine old and new formulas to make a new formula. Also playing multiple different characters wouldn't have the same spark as playing the 2D games. That's why most people found the adventure games boring, so they decided to focus more on just Sonic.

[@hypergoon1152]

Everton Douglas.Dang it.I keep forgetting that.Fusing both Adventure and Boost is an amazing idea I think Sonic Team should do.

[@SlypherXyz14]

@@hypergoon1152 I do like the adventure formula because their are a wide variety of missions and getting the highest rank for all of them feels more rewarding than the games nowadays
