Dude seeing tails pull off sick flips literally had me saying “tails better fucking make it, dudes too cool to fail”

[@kingbash6466]

You can tell this is legit footage from the 90s because Sega refuses to acknowledge Sonic CD's existence here.

[@SetoKaiba342]

I legitimately cracked up at that part omg 😆

[@blissfulsoda]

it is???

[@supergenesisstation1991]

I mean sonic CD was released on an add on for the platform that nobody in japan cared about. Of course it would go under their radar. Nobody bought a sega cd.

[@dantesdiscoinfernolol]

-Sonic woke up in that same machine he walked into to trigger the Terios Easter egg, and doesn't seem to know how long he was gone... -Tails seems to be ok thus far, and might have made it to Angel Island/the Master Emerald like Amy, if I'm remembering where that door leads correctly. -As harrowing as it always is to see Tikal show up in these vids, I initially thought she had her own snowboard and was a little disappointed when I realized she didn't. _(I understand why that would be hard from a modding perspective, but it would have been SO funny- ancient ghost absolutely shredding the slopes to steal ur soul)_ -More beta characters... Interesting... I hope this ARG gets fully analyzed someday when it's done, I'm invested!

[@oddguy5356]

I'd be terrified of an ancient ghost learning how to use a snowboard just to steal my soul. I'd also be somewhat impressed.

[@saltsencho]

tails realizing 'OHFUCK-' as tikal with no snowboard, fully sprinting down icecap zone towards him was pretty fuckin good cant lie

[@Game_Hero]

I was today years old when I found out Fly the Bat was a real cancelled character. Another good installment, altough, nitpick, it should read "Sonic RPG" as the game's prototype name to be fully accurate.

[@LowPoly32]

I see where you’re coming from there yeah, but I’m pretty sure it was being called that when the game was planned to be an actual RPG (I could be wrong about that) and this version of the game isn’t one

[@riqopowpow]

He isn't a cancelled character, he is from another racing series releases for the SNES. He is more similar to how Honey was made.

[@Esitaro3670]

Seeing Tikal on the snow segment made me gasp of surprise...but also giggle because of her running down the snowhill, can't wait for the next episode!

[@functional200]

Tails was really looking death in the face at the end of snowboarding stage huh

[@fluffy_yeet_mcgee]

With all of these beta/scrapped character designs serving as pieces of the plot, it makes me wonder if/when Madonna will show up, since she was one of the first scrapped designs. Very fascinating stuff, wonderful work as always, and I can't wait to see what else you create! :D

[@amyaperson5957]

Great video Low Poly! Man, I was scared when Tikal was chasing Tails, I was like: NO! DON'T TAKE MY BOY TAILS TOO!! Thankfully he escaped from the wrath of Tikal for now. But I also wonder who Fly the Bat is, I've never herd of him from any sonic concept art, but he seems quite instrusting of a character. I just hope he doesn't betray sonic.😳

[@tailzgimer1726]

Tails:”can’t catch me with these sick tricks Tikal”

[@DarkCreedNinja]

Oh hell yeah. By far one of the more unique and interesting analog projects. I think it works so well because it focused less on cheap scares while also tying into lore on a nostalgic property.

[@apersonnamedjune]

TAILS!!! DON'T STOP RIGHT BEFORE THE ANIMAL CAPSULE WHILE TIKAL IS RUNNING FULL SPRINT DOWN THE MOUNTAIN AFTER YOU!!! TAILS!!!!!!! In all seriousness though, there's something about the chase scene in this one that I absolutely love, there's something about Tails having to snowboard for his life while Tikal's running after him that I find genuinely really cool for whatever reason Tails stopping to look behind him right before the goal gave me a heart attack though LMAO

[@zaxentothegreedy7816]

Seeing these Beta Characters get involved in the Story makes me think it would be handy for video production if someone out there made a 3D model of these guys. They're practically begging for a mod to allow them to do cool stuff like everybody else! Here's hoping someone is inspired by this series to do that. These videos are gaining decent traction so it is not an impossibility.

[@LowPoly32]

This is definitely something I’d love to see even if it’s a bit of an unrealistic dream (especially if they were in the Jam/Sonic R style)

[@feliciaroseantonia]

Love the little design pieces of how Tails and Tikal's icons on the race meter thing on the bottom of the screen are different. Tikal's is in 3D, which, alongside her not having a skateboard, shows how she isn't supposed to be there. Initially I thought Tails might not win because the snowboard might ironically actually make him slower than Tikal's top speed on foot. Though I also realized that, even if this is the case, it can still be avoided by doing tricks off of the ramps to gain more speed & distance, which is precisely what ended up happening. SO excited to see Fly the Bat be included too!! Oh my goodness!!!

[@TarkTheWild]

So i dont know how to feel about the NiGHTS music in a beta sonic game other then "must be a place holder" but can i tell you how happy I am that this isnt a dot exe? Like im sooooo happy about this. Its SUPER refreshing.

[@roseforgottheaccentjett]

The Sonic 4 that was promised but we never got...

[@17_bucks]

I mean.. Sonic Adventure is technically the Sonic 4 that was promised but cut content and the redesigns

[@TheZeroHeader]

Turning the snowboard segment into a chase sequence with the anxiety music was great.

[@lorrainehatton1235]

where was the bit that made it into a chase scene?

[@SonicTheBlueBlur15]

This looks like the planning they shouldve used in modern games, it could make sonic cooler, specially his design

[@SocksFCGameArchives]

7:00 the star pad from the beta is a nice touch

[@frankpro53]

Awww that was SICK! The fellas and I reacted to it just now on the Twitch stream! We were at the edge of our seats during the Snowboard section

[@nebzshady9389]

I loved the Burning Rangers music. Burning Rangers is my favorite Saturn game ever. Makes me wanna remake it.

[@LowPoly32]

Really enjoyed seeing your reactions! Your streams are great!

[@etenby699]

Legitimately my favorite Sonic-related ARG/Creepypasta/anything like that. I am looking forward to every entry because WOW. I want to talk about it soon (as well as Sonic Outland), but I have another video to work on.

[@SonowGamer]

I just found this series, so I haven't been able to contribute much to the conversation, but there's something I haven't seen people mention. The Master Emerald is obviously important in some way, especially with Tails now being past the door to it. Not to mention, two of the few levels we've seen have been Knuckles (and Mecha Knuckles) finding Emerald shards to a Master Emerald that hasn't shattered, if the ending bit to Eggman's "Demo" is to be believed. If the story of this game remained the same. Chaos would still be trapped in the Master Emerald while Tikal is free through other means.

[@lolrus5555]

Yeah, the curious discrepancy of both Knuckles and Eggman collecting Master Emerald shards in the earlier videos was a very funny thing, especially with how the Eggman video in particular shows the intact Master Emerald at the very end.

[@mato32dx223]

Tikal racing against Tails was pretty funny lol Also new cut content character, awesome to see it Aside from that I find it interesting that Sonic reappeared in the same area he was seen last time, that being the portal to Terios's ending and easter egg for this build of the game at least.

[@frannielmartinez]

Ok, i just want to point out something unrelated to the video: Despite canon stuff and what some people thinks, Sonic 4 already existed before the episodic Sonic 4, and it was actually "Sonic 3D Blast/Sonic 3D: Flickies' Island", as the game advertises itself as the comeback of Sonic in a new adventure, and as a new entry in the mainline games.

[@LuccasCmk]

Sonic 3D Blast was never Sonic 4. It's just a spin-off.

[@frannielmartinez]

@@LuccasCmk It actually is a sequel to Sonic 3, even back then it was supposed to be a main entry (it is a main entry game)

[@LuccasCmk]

@@frannielmartinez The gameplay is different, and the game wasn't even made by Sonic Team. Yes, the game is Canon to the franchise's history, but it's more of a Spin-off than a "main game".

[@frannielmartinez]

@@LuccasCmk Those two factors doesn't make the game less-mainline

"Fly the Bat" looks like Sunsoft's Aero the Acro-Bat under a different name. Somewhere out there, someone is making some less-than-wholesome fan art of that female spider.

Props on making it look a lot more like an actual VHS than most of the analog horror stuff out there- are you using an actual tape to do this, or is it a really good filter?

[@LowPoly32]

I’m using ntsc-rs! It’s a lot better at mimicking the VHS look than what I was using before, especially with the available presets!

Interesting to think Sonic CD never existed in this timeline.
