Sonic 1 Retold: Labyrinth Zone (Sprite Animation)

[@James179]

Thank you to @Figure_8 for the accurate underwater palette!

[@bigmacsama]

Hurray! It's finally here! I can't wait to see it~!

[@IvanFranco120]

Acuartate pallete? Didn't look wrong in the original game?

[@Cliffordlonghead]

Awesome video

[@charsonic1771]

It was great palette

[@elementaljones1542]

Drowning in water is terrible!

[@thewizardslime6764]

i love your animations, they manage to maintain the logic of the games while at the same time doing all sorts of creative stuff

[@IvanFranco120]

Yeah. 😉

Sonic 4 hasn't been forgot

[@Mark_4025]

I agree with you.

[@IvanFranco120]

Really good! Not only the 3D effect was unique but also the drowing scene for Sonic too. Giving the creepy feel for this zone. 😳

[@akilbekabishev559]

Drink 🍻🍺 and address 13D

[@mark_is_him]

the 3d affect fits in really well! and i also love how the badniks don't always play a minor role in the story!

[@PipProductions]

Your stuff is getting so impressively smooth. And those 3D sections fit right in. Really excited to see your take on Star Light Zone!

[@LucasRPDJ]

This is pretty cool, the « 3D parts » are well executed. And the transition to Star Light was a good idea to be honest 😎

[@James179]

I did take some inspiration from your water capsule videos 😅

1:31 This is kinda realistic, sonic being attacked without reaction he didn't have time to take a breath to go underwater, that's why the drowning music begins quickly

[@MiguelMcMuffin]

I really like the idea of sonic 4’s labyrinth mechanics being in sonic 1. Great touch!

[@adrianamamede081]

I like that too!!!

[@kirgolor]

I agree

[@marbistacio]

Finally! I think you found the way how a 3D sonic should be created, just a mix of 3D with 2d sprites, I’m totally sure a game like that would be a total success. In the 90s they forced sonic to 3D platform to compite with the 3d games of this years because it was something new, but they lose the magic art of sonic sprites, nobody remember sonic by his boring 3D games. Your animation embody all concepts of the 2d games, great work, I hope to see the same for sonic 3

[@JuliRocket]

There already is sonic 3 retold. It’s done. It was the first one, actually. There’s a complete version that is the best version of it. Edit: and sonic cd retold

0:44 Our inner struggles with this zone.

[@andray2126]

This is the best job! in 3d style, in new pieces about the zone, new Sonic sprites from you! Everything is on top! In short, I'm waiting for the next episode very much! I liked this moment the most : 0:43 - 1:01

[@IvanFranco120]

Yeah, that's something i don't see too often...

This was amazing the 3D parts the animation was good. This was cool keep up the good work James

[@gammaguyyt]

this is great af lol, keep up the great work

[@itslucas08yt]

Oh no I missed the premiere!! Nice episode though! (Also @Figure_8 did an awesome job with the water pallet!)

[@SSGThasMe]

We a lil late but we out here. Loved how you used the Unused Walkin sprites, 3D sections, and what I assume is a Sonic 4 reference. Now we move onto the best zone in the game!

[@charsonic1771]

This was a great zone and Sonic got through the labyrinth

[@daemoc7430]

This is fantastic, a great use of game assets and added “weight” of the characters! Bravo!👏

[@adrianamamede081]

3:07 I loved the reference to the Lost Labyrinth Zone from Sonic 4 Episode 1, when Sonic is balancing on top of a big rock. Great job on that animation James, I can't wait to see the Star Light Zone!!! By the way, are you going to do an animation of Sonic The Hedgehog 4 Retold?

[@raffalion24]

BR: Você por aqui, nossa, nem foi proposital isso em. E um Sonic 4 Retold é só pegar Green Hill, Casino Night, Labyrinth e Metropolis. Talvez pelo menos uma Egg Station Refeita ENG: You over here, wow, it wasn't even on purpose. And a Sonic 4 Retold just get Green Hill, Casino Night, Labyrinth and Metropolis. Maybe at least one Egg Station Remade

[@adrianamamede081]

​​​@@raffalion24 Ah, chega! As fases do Sonic 4 não são as mesmas dos outros jogos, fã criticador!!!! Elas além de fazerem uma homenagem as fases dos jogos do Mega Drive, elas também possuem elementos de outras fases ( algumas delas ). A Splash Hill, por exemplo, é uma referência à Green Hill Zone de Sonic 1, com elementos da Emerald Hill de Sonic 2.

[@raffalion24]

@@adrianamamede081 Fã de Sonic é uma criatura impressionante kkkkkkk

[@adrianamamede081]

@@raffalion24 O que você quer dizer com isso?

[@raffalion24]

@@adrianamamede081 Incrível como vcs fazem de tudo pra defender esse jogo. Essa desculpa de "elementos" não faz eles não serem uma cópia. Cara, olha pra emerald Hill, é uma ilha quadriculada com um mar e ilhas no fundo e pontes. Splash hill: A MESMA COISA. E para com esse papo de "homenagem", homenagem foi a Green Hill do Mania, fazendo partes em cavernas, e usando outras mecânicas e usando um fundo deletado do original. ISSO é uma homenagem, não uma cópia barata com uma iluminação estourada como a Splash Hill.

[@SanonixFastTime]

that was just so good dude keep going

[@joshuavera967]

These Zone transitions are definitely something else.

[@tennis-cap]

0:18 "So, you like Maniafied Sonic instead of old Sonic?"

[@bigmacsama]

Yep and Mania styled Sonic is king, yo

[@stolenalt]

It would be awsome if the team behind sonic mania reimagined the classics. Like if they expanded the levels and added new gimmicks and just maniafy the whole thing. Sadly though, they were forced to make sonic origins with sega. And now they don't want to do sonic stuff anymore.

[@CrazyCappy22]

An accurate depiction of how much of a pain in the ass labyrinth zone is

[@charabill4129]

Yes, Sonic. Water. A lot of it, actually. Also, love your pseudo-3D perspectives!
