Being someone who played Sonic Colours DS when it first came out, sinking a bunch of time into it, getting to the final boss only to not mash quick enough for the final part of the fight, deleting my save file because of it, and playing it through again with even more enjoyment: It's a very unheard game and definitely deserves to be this highly ranked

It's so crazy how you actually fight the Mother Wisp in that version instead of just the Egg Nega Wisp that the Wii version had. DS by far had the better final fight of the two!

[@Expoz3DxSpaRtaN]

back when i was a kid and couldnt afford the games i wanted, and was limited by what i was allowed, i got sonic colors for the ds even though i wanted it for the wii. overall it was one of the most enjoyable experiences i had and it was one of the few games i actually had the attention to play all the way through.

[@kirbstagoontheaxolotl]

I still have my current copy of Sonic Colours DS to this day and I love the game, way more than Sonic Colours Ultimate for the switch. I got it early into the game's life and then lost my first cartridge on a vacation, had never gotten past Starlight Carnival Act 1 on that cartridge, and I was DEVASTATED, as that was my all time favourite DS game. A few years later on Christmas, my mum had known how sad I had been about losing the game and managed to get ahold of a second hand cartridge of the game and I will be honest, that christmas I knew what my favourite present was and as soon as I got my ds that day, I worked out how to wipe the old save off of the cartridge and started a new game. It's the cartridge I finally beat the game, collected the chaos emeralds on, beat Mother Wisp and am trying to fully 100% the game still whenever I can play it Ultimate just can't compare to the nostalgia I feel when playing Sonic Colours DS

I'm surprised to see the Master System and Game Gear games so low on the list, considering I have pretty fond memories of them, despite their slower speed and "screen crunch" (which they fixed in Triple Trouble by designing it with the Game Gear's specs and resolution in mind).

[@Rocketknightgeek]

Ranking them lower than games that fundamentally don't work as intended honestly comes across as petty. They're not fast or overflowing with novelty but they're still well controlling and have quite a lot of replay value for the time through the in stage Emerald hiding places. Hell, the stage designs being 'basic' is a good thing given how early they were and that players were still learning even basic tech like boss bouncing.

Haven’t played encore mode in a while, but it changes up the gameplay by making it more challenging with certain paths to get items that you can only get with a certain character, like the Mighty only area in green hill zone.

I absolutely loved Triple Trouble as a kid. I already loved Sonic as a kid from the cartoons so when I got my game gear with Sonic 2 I was so excited. The box hyped up the presence of my favorite character Tails, only for him to not be playable. Also, the game is ludicrously hard, even after revisiting it when I was older, and that bad ending crushed me. Without a Genesis to play the main series until way later with just standalone Sonic and Knuckles (no Tails), getting Triple Trouble which was much more forgiving, finally let me play as Tails, and had special stages for replay value, I adored that game and played through it so many times trying to get all of the emeralds.

1:23:33 If you haven't seen it already, Radicalsoda made 3 videos and a supercut of them all that goes in depth as to why it's not great. I'd highly recommend checking it out for both it's quality content and actually figuring out why Sonic Colors Ultimate has garnered a lot of hate.

[@AGGSab]

I’m sure Nathaniel ranked the game with all its patches and not on the 1.0 version like Radicalsoda did. Had he ranked it on that 1.0 version it would have been definitely lower than the wii version

[@BradfortBottlenose]

1:01:12 Uh... Infamous? You *do* know infamous means something is well-known for something bad, right? But what you say about the stages right after contradicts that entirely.

[@Witchcraft_VR]

He basically doesn’t know what infamous means

[@BradfortBottlenose]

@Witchcraft_VR So basically nothing new. Got it. Reminds me of that time he said "unfortunately" about something positive. Lol

[@WaterKirby1994]

I have to disagree with so many of these placements. Who in their right mind ranks Sonic Triple Trouble lower than Sonic 1 GBA? Sonic Spinball Master System/GameGear was better than the 16-bit version which has worse controls & more unfair level design decisions. Sonic 1 Master System is much too low on the list to where it's clear you are biased against the 8-Bit games unfairly, although a few of them were awful. My List is probably 60: Tails Sky Patrol, 58: Rise of Lyric, 57: Drift 2, 56: Lost World 3DS, 55: Spinball (16-Bit), 54: Shuffle, 53: Sonic Chaos, 52: Sonic 2 (8-Bit), 51: Sonic 1, 50: Pinball Party, 49: Boom Shattered Crystal, 48: Lost World, 47: Labyrinth, 46: Team Sonic Racing, 45: Pocket Adventure, 44: Tails Adventures, 43: Colors Wii, 42: HD Unleashed, 41: Rivals, 40: Spinball (8-Bit), 39: 3D Blast, 38: Sonic Battle, 37: Rivals 2, 36: Sonic Generations 3DS, 35: Sonic R, 34: Sonic 1 (8-Bit), 33: Sonic 06, 32: Boom Fire & Ice, 31: Knuckles Chaotix, 30: Whitehead Sonic 1, 29: Sonic CD, 28: Forces, 27: Unleashed Wii, 26: Shadow the Hedgehog, 25: Sonic Advance, 24: Riders Shooting Star Story, 23: Rush, 22: Mean Bean Machine, 21: Chronicles, 20: Riders, 19: Colors DS, 18: Secret Rings, 17: Generations, 16: Sonic 2 (Genesis), 15: Triple Trouble, 14: Black Knight, 13: Sonic the Fighters, 12: Rush Adventure, 11: Advance 2, 10: Advance 3, 9: Sonic Heroes, 8: Sonic 3K, 7: Sonic Adventure, 6: Origins, 5: Mania +, 4: Sonic Jam, 3: Gems Collection, 2: Frontiers, 1: Adventure 2 Battle

By the time I reached sonic 4’s ranking I realized that opinions don’t matter.

[@thecodester6669]

Yeah. Considering all my faves i grew up on with his mario based ass, Are mediocre to him. From unleashed, colors, shadow, black knight. Even sonic 06, at least it tried to work.

[@gamer-z4p9d]

@@thecodester6669I don’t think unleashed and colors are mediocre to him, and if you like 06, shadow, and black knight, then you just have bad taste.

[@iamcligg5616]

As a person who has played Sonic Colors for the DS before any other console, Colors for the DS was amazing without a doubt. Even though it didn't have cutscenes or extra wisps, it was outstanding for a port for the DS. Also, I'm not certain if this is exactly true but you can fight the Wisps' mother if you collect all the red rings throughout the stages. Either way, Sonic Colors (DS) was a blast to play for my first Sonic game ever played.

[@pearl-bede22]

I played it on the wii and it was just as good

[@desh206]

Nathaniel you really went on fire lately,you relased a 7 hour long video last Saturday,a video whit tons of animation fight scenes and story telling,and now this,incredible

[@SophieSquid]

YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW HAPPY I AM TO HEAR SONIC COLORS DS PRAISE!! It was my introduction to the franchise, and it was such an incredible first impression. Everytime I talk about colors everyone assumes I'm talking about the wii version and it just makes me sad, cause i swear some people don't even know it exists. Criminally underrated.

[@Umjii1]

when i was younger i fell in love with sonic and the secret rings the story was great to me, when i had friends and my brother over we’d all play the party mode it had and the ost in every part of the game was great

Why is Sonic 1 8-bit being disrespected so much here Edit: Now Sonic Chaos??? I genuinely thought the opinion of the 8-bit games were that they were decent Edit 2: And he put Sonic Blast, the only one that's actually bad, above those two....whaaaaa

[@MajoradeMayhem]

I mean, he doesn't even get the names of the characters or zones right. I'm going to bet he spent five seconds on the Master System titles and probably doesn't even remember which is which.

51:50 (Sonic Riders) My first EVER experience with the game was when i was 8 years old. In my church, and i LOVED IT, everything was unlocked and that was pretty cool, but i remember playing as cream the rabbit and absolutely DESTROYING the other kids there. I never got to replay the game but the memories sonic riders gave me was insane

I don’t understand how Sonic CD made it all the way to 17. You only complained about it. I would think the Advance games would be above it at least.

[@TheDiddler0724]

I don’t understand either. He placed Sonic 3 & Knuckles at the number 7 spot, despite mostly complaining about it.

[@xamp_exclammark]

Either he hates the franchise to the point where the 7th best game is one he can only criticize or this is just how he talks about games in these lists

[@gamer-z4p9d]

The reason is because those games have already been talked up a storm so he doesn’t need to sing their praises

Fun Fact: I never knew Sonic and the Secret Rings had an actual story more until a few years ago. Me and my siblings always played the minigames, and we had a (3-D) blast!

[@coralmaynard4876]

Me and my siblings knew about story mode... but we always went straight to party mode! The 'treasure hunt' 'board' is a bit weird, but there's something about the party mode I always liked! My only complaint is the controls could be wonky at times... the butterfly bubble one took plenty of practice, and don't even get me STARTED on the one where you use a net to catch those little bug things in a net (whatever they were, been a while since I played).

[@TheP11master]

Rating sonic 1 on the MS so low is criminal. I prefer it to sonic 1 on the genesis, even.

[@schlubopbeebop886]

I don't think Sonic the Hedgehog or Chaos are great games by any means (still very fun for what Sega had to work with on the system), but having them that low and somehow BELOW Sonic Blast and Genesis GBA is insanity, hahahaha

[@ScOULaris]

Damn, what a comprehensive video you've made here. The best Sonic ranking video I've ever seen. Well done.

[@alecfull977]

Putting the 8bit games behind 1 GBA is the clear definition of the difference of the 90s outside Brazil, because people here (including me) LOVES Sonic 1 Master System. It's even offensive to see him behind so many crap games lmao

[@Turbulation1]

It's not even with just you guys, there's plenty of admiration for the 8 bit sonic games, people just got to lower their expectations for them and not expect them to be as groundbreaking or spectacular as the genesis games. They are good platformers on their own.

[@NinjaMario02]

Sonic Heroes and pretty much all of the GCN titles is what got me into the franchise, though I personally think lost world should be placed lower because of how the story portrayed Tails in the worst possible way. (Specifically turning against Sonic when helping Eggman even though he was fine with it in SA2B) I haven't played anything after 06 besides Frontiers, but I might check out on a few games after that time considering the praise you've given them.

[@AkameGaKillfan777]

The more I actually try to analyze Lost World, the more I hate it

[@darkhell66659]

43:50 I love how you said Espeon because it kind of looks similar to Espio too. (Not meant to criticize btw, I just find it funny)

[@skeleton819]

whats up with that phase of sega with all those weird realistic games? (06, secret rings, black knight, unleashed)
