Sonic ERaZor - Walkthrough

Walkthrough of final fifth release.
Sonic ERaZor is a hack of Sonic the Hedgehog created by Selbi. This hack is unlike many other hacks, featuring a heavy in-game story line, unique challenges, and never seen before gameplay mechanics. These elements are often somehow related to explosions, which is why this hack is sometimes called "What if Michael Bay directed Sonic 1".
When first released back in early 2010, Selbi stated that this hack has no goal whatsoever and any ideas he came up with just went in. Today's releases have a lot more structure and thought out gameplay elements. The difficulty has been steadily decreased between the different versions, mostly due to some negative feedback regarding the first releases, although they all have an above average difficulty, and is therefore regarded by many as quite interesting and challenging, if not frustrating.
A notable aspect about this hack is that it contains many cutscenes, chapter screens and story screens. The game's first scene after the title screen is entirely a cutscene.

[@hodoupmer]

i like how the game keeps mocking him for being a bad player, but he didn't even break a sweat

[@jballs5434]

hodoupmer This player isn't human.

[@dio6271]

hodoupmer It’s like mocking Dio for not being able to kill you when he can literally do it in under a second

[@OhCrapI_He]

SneakySenpai Or mocking Sonic for being too slow.

[@javianwilliams7463]

I’m guessing he’s probably like: WHAT DID THIS GAME SAID ABOUT ME?!?!?

[@Octo4533]

*she

[@holoneon]

The spikes in marble zone have blood on them. How inviting.

[@First2CommentF2C]

Low quality memer I see you everywhere

[@ronsgrave]

Unfunny sonic avatar meme cancer Yeah,weird,They have blood on them,do you know why?

[@xX_Sm0key0lB0y_Xx]

Ya know, for kids.

[@somarita9630]

Unfunny sonic avatar meme cancer ya know, Sonic, for kids! I have no friends

[@steveluvscows2490]

Probably the blood of all the players who died in this zone because of their lack of skill.

[@jballs5434]

This seems more like a prank than a hack. It's nonsensical, frustrating, and just... weird.

[@robertmacbride1646]

Jordan Scott You are correct

[@SchAlternate]

Let's see... Mega Man 5 - Proto Man's Castle Ninja Gaiden - Stage 4-2 (AKA Ryu Hayabusa's Theme) Mega Man Zero 4 - Straight Ahead Street Fighter 2 - Ken's Theme Mega Man 7 - Freeze Man's Stage Sonic Advance 3 - Boss Battle Sonic the Hedgehog 1 - Green Hill Zone Mega Man 4 - Dr. Cossack Stage 2 Mega Man 4 (Game Boy) - Title Screen Sonic the Hedgehog 3 - Final Boss Theme Those are all the themes I can recognize in this. I'd love to know the other songs used for this that I missed.

[@WickerBasket9]

+SchAlternate I like it for the fact that it's a monstrous hack, better than the ones I've played with!

[@EmptyKingdoms]

So much capcom. No joke, many hacks use Mega Man music, I wonder if its a blue thing.

[@WickerBasket9]

It is.... i think it's a blue thing.

[@dvirarazi7351]

SchAlternate 10:42 is Whirlwind from Shinobi III

[@tgs_coolasice6324]

SchAlternate You missed Pulseman Shutdown

[@NanTheDark]

No wonder it's sometimes called "What if Michael Bay directed Sonic 1". It even has Linkin Park in it! 17:04 :3

[@selbi182]

You are probably the first guy in four years who pointed that reference out. Finally.

[@NanTheDark]

Selbi Inkille I do exceed expectations. :3

[@Gyrokun]

No there's already sonic Michael bay version

[@Kaael]

NanTheDark I'd say what If Sonic was done by Konami.

[@sonicthehedgehog3162]

+NanTheDark It Was A Shout Out To Chester Bennington And Linkin Park From Selbi (The Creator Of This Hack)

[@pensamiento3867]

Sonic ERaZor and Zenon. Get it? Because it's difficult? And ERAZOR? RAZOR? Haha... ha... I have zero friends.

[@ShinySkink9185]

Hahaha!

[@ShinySkink9185]

Here you go, someone's with you

[@debhen]

I get it! 😂😂😂

[@retroboy-fh1ji]

Tranquilo bro, estoy en la misma :'(

[@luisescobarbriceno4418]

Francisco vega yo tambien...

[@noa-tim]

*I like how it just is sonic but harder and it is extremely fun art the same time!*

[@Deseptor]

Nobody: Sonic Erazor: So anyway I started blasting

[@ZenoDLC]

This seems to happen after Sonic Generations

[@alanchejolan8299]

Guess you are right

[@NickSRB2]

modern or classic?

[@JLTruRodYT]

SONIC MANIA

[@lexbrown5982]

18:48 SONIC, NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@lukkass4049]

+Lex Brown Relax, i´am here!! XD

[@lexbrown5982]

Sorry.

[@lukkass4049]

-_-

[@ladyhibiscus5020]

+Sonic Classic I like your icon and tag background, though. c:

[@nitrousoverdrivegt5322]

Lex Brown yes sonic is dead >:)

[@maniacthehedgehogpokes6435]

Looks pretty hard but... Looks pretty fun isn't it?

[@holoneon]

according to this comment section, the story here is better than recent sonic games. *explanation please?*

[@justsaraki6593]

Just another memer I don't freackin Know. Plus I don't understand the story

[@CrimsonNeo]

...what?

[@oddballExtraordinaire]

I've Been Looking For This For a Long Time!

[@thomas86800]

18:57 Gundam Wing - Rhythm Emotion Mission complete.

[@omfgmouse]

Honest question, Razor & Zenon, are your walkthrough videos tool-assisted in any way, or are they 100% realtime?

[@Alienrun]

He mentioned at one point that they are tool-assisted. Just goes through the bare minimum to make sure he goes through the games at a decent pace, nothing mind blowing that couldn't be done by an actual person though.

[@jureapex867]

I lost my shit when i saw Special Stages

[@kalecoey2884]

Hure Me and you both man... Me and you both.

[@superik408]

Unreal Place is fine, it's the SECOND special stage that gets ya hard. (My bad, it's actually Special Place that's fine, Unreal Place is just literal hell.)

[@Ai-fj1dc]

I love this hack! EXPLOSIONS! HARDCORE LEVELS! POWERFUL SONIC'S NEW ABILITY! THE BEST GENESIS SONIC HACK EVER!!!

[@sweetpataterz8738]

0:20 Mega Man music in a Sonic game? That’s strange

[@TheNawaf258]

that ending broke my anger point to the max

[@lexbrown5982]

When sonic died at the end of this game, it says U MAD BRO?!

[@cancelok2782]

IKR after all that

[@christopherchasteen4990]

+Lex Brown, *(In Eustace's tone)* STUPID TROLLS!! YOU MADE ME LOOK BAD!!! *(Proceeds to scare with a scary mask)* BOOGABOOGABOOGA!!!!

[@WickerBasket9]

Sega, we've found your new guy, Selbi!! They should hire him!

[@retroboy-fh1ji]

SONIC 1: EPIC EDITION

[@TuanPINGAS]

Much better than recent stupid comedic Sonic games

[@videotape2959]

God damn this must've took alot of time to make!

[@fnafgamesandmorechannel646]

OMG ITS AWSOMEESSsSS LOVE YOU SO MUCH I LOVE ALL YOU VIDS AND ALL YOUR SONICS HACK

[@andreadotta5241]

I love how Sonic died like an idiot at the end

[@alex2000309]

Super meat boy + VVVVV + I wana be the boshy = Sonic erazor.

[@DarkTails256]

I remember playing this 6 years ago when i was little and i was so confused on what to do so i just did whatever and eventually i beat it

[@Xx_Venom_Fox_xX]

Gotta love the Ninja Gaiden music in the tutorial. Stage 4-2 "Unbreakable Determination"

[@hawk6545]

Хех, какой-то прям I Wanna Be The Sonic вышел у авторов этого хака на последних релизах. Но со взрывами. Сколько же попыток и часов ушло на идеальную запись и кто из вас двоих играл?)

[@hevnet]

18:47 RIP Sonic 1991-2017 he lived a good live XD

[@tunafissh]

This is actually a good hack! **sees sonic go crazy** I regret.

[@marceloufv6641]

sound's awesome!!

[@frippami]

Holy fuck Ninja Gaiden music.

[@immails]

Весёлая музыка Грин Хилл зона , и звуки взрывов...

[@marisolcabrera9853]

The true sonic kaizo: this

[@juliannajm3592]

That ending...

[@Tmerus]

О, я помню этот хау, у меня сохранена только 4 версия, в ней платформ на уровни в uberhub нету и большая бомба, только в качестве босса. А всё остальное - также, кроме туториала (в прошлой версии он был не обязателен). Жаль, что в конце ничего нового... Было бы весело увидеть ещё уровень...

[@conlia]

some of the music is from MM. Run to the hills:Freeze Man's stage in MM7

[@conlia]

Labyrinth Place:Dr. Cossack stages 3-4 in MM4

[@sonicandashuro9992]

conlia you come Alot man

[@MegaYoteStuff]

[@queekqueek3960]

The boss music sounds very familiar but i just can't remember it

[@RaposaCadela]

10:03 i was expecting "The End of You"

[@beatziegraham6928]

[@sonicandashuro9992]

Beatzie Graham I don't understand

[@Craigrobbo2k7]

[@SebastianPerezSebasGamer537]

Me Encanto este HackRom

[@SophiaXiaoyuAralaCran]

[@treattrick8991]

[@SophiaXiaoyuAralaCran]

5 does, it's also having one as the main protagonist too, the one who pilots the RVR-01 Gauntlet. Rarely shown but yup.

[@treattrick8991]

[@lonelyspark]

We have the Ezenon edition ? :)

[@VividMoments2002]

EVERYTHING WAS PHUCKING FUNNY ON IT

[@Josh-oz4uq]

this game was made and directed by the one and only MICHAEL BAY

[@akpokemon]

Oh. Wow.

[@anrriveradxndsigamer1495]

Blast processing at its finest

[@qw610908]

Sonic :I can fly~~~

[@YourDeath311]

i've played this hack and i can tell ou it 's a pain in the ass. A lot of skills in this vid

[@sonicthehedgehog3162]

+YourDeath311 I Raged A Lot

[@SlashCrash_Studios]

Protoman's castle megaman 5 in the beginning

[@endertrot9998]

So... where is Sonic EZeNon?

[@DGneoseeker1]

What is that ending music? I've definitely heard it before but I can't place it...

[@Astroz87]

It's from the intro to Gundam Wing: Endless Duel

[@DGneoseeker1]

OH! Yes of course that was it. I'm sure I put it on a favourites list somewhere but I lost it.

[@sonicpiethehedgetuber5712]

This hack is insane

[@aaronf1788]

Well, starting off with Proto Stage music. How odd of a choice. And Ken's theme. And Freeze Man? More Freeze Man? C A N D Y A N D R A I N B O W S. Oh, and can't miss the Cossack Stage music, someone here really likes Mega Man.

[@FlareZero]

This is awensome, Selbie it's a genius, it's far more better tha all SEGA people.

[@phantom-chan2940]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!

[@dio6271]

Why does the hub music sound so damn familiar?!

[@HruMan360]

It's from Mega Man 7!

[@Octo4533]

1:59 KEN'S STAGE!

[@Doggieworld3Show]

Most intense one so far?

[@colourfulbees]

I remember when this was first released it was very fcking hard

[@diego_youtubexd826]

17:41 Boss Pinch Fast!!! Gotta Go Fast :O

[@airakogi]

What's the inappropriate easter egg in the hot wire part?

[@RaposaCadela]

Megaman Music! :3

[@randomboxproductions3261]

The 2nd best sonic hack.

[@SirCaco]

Holy shit dude. Regular Sonic is hard enough for me lol

[@diego_youtubexd826]

17:05 Final Round a.k.a Finalor Place

[@eduardomagana3858]

Wow, the guy knew people would be frustrated with the game. I know I sure was.

[@raawbanashar5563]

Alright Street Fighter!!!

[@deadacclol5061]

And music from yours truly.

[@masterofall66]

The pacing on this game is fucking insane

[@selbi182]

In a good or bad way?

[@masterofall66]

Selbi Inkille THE BEST WAY

[@KraziShadowbear]

The funny thing is that this guy completed it so easily. Sure it seems to be a rage game, but all for what? The story is just... weird... Creepy.... with a hint of...depression? And all we get at the end is Sonic and the animals killing themselves.... It faintly gives me Sonic.exe vibes.... Like, during the times when Sonic.exe wasn't mocked or hated....

[@sonicandashuro9992]

Razor has psg too selbi not fair

[@deadacclol5061]

Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo opening theme for the title.

[@Animamundi24]

Да это нереально просто!!! Я убил на второй Special Stage более 40 минут и столько же нервов.....

[@CD-zj5tc]

Мдааа, чел ты видел блин какой 5 Special Stage сложный? Нет)

[@XxGerardoProGamerxX]

*G* *O* *O* *D*

[@AlexCorruptor]

Музыка в конце подозрительно знакомая

[@aweseome245]

how many sonic games have you played?

[@friendlynoob6006]

*U M A D B R O ? !*

[@user-hy2og3wb2j]

Sr Pelo’s BOOM would fit on this hack

[@deadacclol5061]

*_B O O M_*

[@First2CommentF2C]

Holy shit This is a good hack

[@reginamaragoncalveszechett2140]

this must be the hardest sonic hack ever

[@FireBlades]

It dosent seem hard to me (jk i think it is too)

[@TheKeitaNobodyAskedFor]

regina mara gonçalves zechetto kaizo sonic the hedgehog exists mafren

[@stiliankapitanov7276]

Nah ill play it........ OK then not without save states

[@Lolourr]

why dont u play sonic damacy?

[@BlueFalconPunch07]

There is that other SONIC FAN EDITION. By a Russian hacker.

[@lazy7279]

I am playing this. I lost my trust in humanity, i can only identify humans as explosion loving monsters

[@nicoloandresarienda9671]

The genesis can handle this or is tis on the sega cd cuz it sounds sexy

[@Nobodyatall6022]

So this is Sonic 'Nam edition , uh ?

[@ericlnala6452]

how do i open sonic axiom

[@jboliveira5271]

HARDCORE

[@Happy-qx5tx]

I´d like to see the creators face right now.

[@mickyazulay1386]

what does the p monitor do

[@feline5056]

... Sonic apocalypse? Idk

[@syndrome4151]

Labyrinth zone for me - Impossible. That's why I came here.

[@ProfRenderer]

If you don't fall for the 1ups and memorize the stage from previous runs, and doing the usual bubble treatment every once in a while, then it's no trouble.

[@syndrome4151]

No, it's not like that at all. For me it's impossible because of the stupid camera. E.g: I get to the checkpoint down the hole and I get spawn game overs. What you told me, I did. But this is why it's impossible for me.

[@ProfRenderer]

I have no issues with the camera at all when I get to Labyrinth Place.

[@kevindaly1030]

Ahh, a ryu theme song

[@kevindaly1030]

Ahh a Ken theme song

[@thegamemer7001]

What Next? Sonic EZeNon?

[@SlashCrash_Studios]

eRAZOR and Zenon

[@ryanfoxcroft5864]

I heard MegaMan music near the beginning

[@TheMamaluigi300]

Yeah, more specifically, Protoman's fortress theme from MegaMan 5.

[@etrotm12thebluewolf15]

you didnt get the sixth one!?

[@jonmcg7471]

What did I just see

[@leetlefool7173]

Oh people can speedrun games like this without dying but when I DO IT I'm like a fish swimming on the ground. GG world. Still a good video though.
